WordPress 2.7 and the comment pager
Comment paging is a great new feature in WordPress 2.7. However, how do you not display the pager when there are no previous or next comments? After digging through the code for quite a while and chatting with some people here's a solution:
<?php
if ( have_comments() ) { ?>
<ol class="commentlist"><?php
wp_list_comments();
if ( get_option('page_comments') && (
get_query_var('cpage') > 1 ||
get_query_var('cpage') < get_comment_pages_count() ) ) {
?> <!-- pager HTML --> <?php
next_comments_link();
?> <!-- pager HTML --> <?php
previous_comments_link();
?> <!-- pager HTML --> <?php
} ?>
</ol> <?php
} ?>
If you want to get started with 2.7 theme migration have a look at Otto's or Matt's posts on the new comment system and ping/comment separation.
Update: No, get_previous_posts_page_link() is incorrect and get_previous_comments_link() doesn't exist (yet).
Update 2: Thanks to Viper007Bond for pointing me in the right direction.Update 3: trac ticket
Update 4: Additional conditional to not show the pager at all if paging isn't enabled.
