Enable Threaded Comments on Sandbox theme
I am using the Sandbox WordPress theme, I would like to enable Threaded Comments... I have already checked the settings box and turned it on in the admin.
I just am not sure what function or code I need to put in. I would like to have a reply button, display when you hover over the comment box - similar to http://uxbooth.com
You can view my site here... http://lab.inspiredology.com/holly-web-header-hell/#comments
Here is the current code for the comments page....

8:23amBill Hunt says:I don't think you need to change any of the comments.php code for this. Threaded comments are a little tricky, you'd do best to use one of the many plugins available. This article will get you started on modifying your template, but also has a list of plugins that will do the same thing:

Quick answer while I patch it in to what you have: you need to use function wp_list_comments to handle the comment loop for you, and wrap your comment format in a function that is referenced by wp_list_comments. Same is true for trackbacks.
Here is your new code:
<div class="mainSplitter"> </div>
<div class="commentBox">
<?php
if ( 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) )
die ( 'Please do not load this page directly. Thanks.' );
?>
<div id="comments">
<?php
if ( post_password_required() ) { ?>
<div class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'sandbox' ) ?></div>
</div><!-- .comments -->
<?php return; } ?>
<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
<?php // Number of pings and comments
$ping_count = $comment_count = 0;
foreach ( $comments as $comment )
get_comment_type() == "comment" ? ++$comment_count : ++$ping_count;
if ( ! empty($comments_by_type['comment']) ) : ?>
<div id="comments-list" class="comments">
<h2>Join the Discussion</h2>
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=sandbox_comment'); ?>
</ol>
<div id="comments-nav-below" class="comment-navigation">
<div class="paginated-comments-links"><?php paginate_comments_links(); ?></div>
</div>
</div><!-- #comments-list .comments -->
<div class="cb"></div>
<?php endif; // REFERENCE: if ( $comment_count ) ?>
<?php if ( ! empty($comments_by_type['pings']) ) : ?>
<div id="trackbacks-list" class="comments">
<h2 class="trigger"><a href="#"><?php printf($ping_count > 1 ? __('<span>%d</span> Trackbacks', 'sandbox') : __('<span>One</span> Trackback', 'sandbox'), $ping_count) ?></a></h2>

The two new functions at the end, sandbox_comment and sandbox_ping, could actually be anywhere (like functions.php, for instance). These are the callbacks that get referenced in your comment and trackback loops.Previous versions of this answer: 06/12/10 at 9:23am | 06/12/10 at 10:18am

Actually, the newest version sandbox has this functionality included.
