Custom placement CommentBox

Hi Tim,

By default, CommentBox is rendered automatically at the end of the component output. This ensures compatibility with all components.

If you’d like to place it in a different position (for example, between the article and the related articles), you can do so with a layout override. Simply add a small piece of code in your override file:

At the top of your override file, include the helper:

use Firecoders\Component\CommentBox\Administrator\Helper\CommentBoxHelper;

Then, wherever you want CommentBox to appear, insert:

echo CommentBoxHelper::render();

This way, you have full control over where CommentBox is displayed.

Kind regards,
Lefteris

Hi Tim,

Thanks for pointing that out — it seems the code snippet was stripped out by the ticket system. I’ve updated my previous reply with the correct code.

And no worries, adding CommentBoxHelper::render(); manually in your override won’t result in duplicate rendering. CommentBox detects this and skips the automatic rendering if it has already been output manually.

Kind regards,
Lefteris
