Question

The comment plugin adds the name of the person at the end of the comment, after a linefeed. How can I remove this linefeed? I just want the name to be appended at the end of the comment without an additional line.

Currently, it is:

Test Topic

Test comment

-- Main.chemirac - 09 Jul 2007 06:44:50

I would like it to be:

Test Topic

Test comment -- Main.chemirac - 09 Jul 2007 06:44:50

I would like to know which file needs to be edited and what modifications are to be made (I am a zero on perl and require some spoonfeeding )

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

What happens if you add

%TMPL:DEF{PROMPT:threadmode}%%TMPL:P{promptbox}%%TMPL:END%

%TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:threadmode}%%POS:BEFORE%
%URLPARAM{"comment"}% -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE%
%TMPL:END%

Thanks for your answer Franz. After asking you guys, I was doing my own experiments. I removed a linefeed in the file CommentsTmpl to change:

%URLPARAM{"comment"}%

-- <b>%WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% %TIME%</b>
%TMPL:END%

to

%URLPARAM{"comment"}%
-- <b>%WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% %TIME%</b>
%TMPL:END%

and now it looks like it is working. Did I do it right ?

Yes, that's good enough. TWiki interprets an empty line as in the original template as "new paragraph". You removed that line, so now TWiki formats %URLPARAM{"comment"}% and the signature as if they were written in the same paragraph - which is displayed in the same line if there's enough space on the line.
