Create the HTML structure for the comment section. You can use <div>, <span>, or other appropriate elements to wrap up the "Like" button and the link. slither io

There are various way you can do that

1 Extend comments/templates/comment using ossn_extend_view with your js file that will be appended with each comment item.

In js file you can do.

   <?php
    $id = $params['comment']['id'];
    ?>
    jquery $(comments-item-<?php echo $id;?>).find('.ossn-like-comment').after(your reply html code);

2 As Michael suggested this is not only about adding link you will need more work so you can Create new component copy components/OssnComments/plugins/default/comments/templates/comment.php to components/Your component/plugins/default/comments/templates/comment.php and edit the file.

Well,
inserting a link here is one part - but what about displaying all those already given replies? They'd need extra db queries, and doing all this via jquery post-processing can't be the real deal. Taking care about what HAS been processed already when Autopagination is fetching the next bunch of posts is another story ...
No, in this case I would clearly vote for replacing OssnComment's standard template by a custom one - doing all the necessary processing right from the start and in the right place - as long as there's no hook available.

@Michael I did read the docs. chuckles Can't go mucking about in things if you know nothing of them!

I made a feature request on the github page, outlining my concept, and I am hoping that it will be feasible and implemented. If not, I at least tried. :))

Still learning JQuery, so I have some reading and probably a lot of trial and error to go through. Would it be easier to do that, or should I do something akin to the $frag->appendXml($data);?

I'm happy at least one member has read the docs. :)))

Okay, I had a look into it this morning: unfortunately there's no hook in the template file to insert more links the easy way - perhaps Arsalan may add one with 6.2 ?!?

Thus, my idea would be using jquery, clone the like action link, change the clone to a reply action link, and insert it after the like link.

@Michael -- The one shown, I hard coded it into on of the files from OssnComments. I hoping that there was a way to hook it in, rather than having to add code back into that specific file every time a newer version of OssnComments comes out.

and I really don't want to have to hard code in the reply link.

Eh... and what workaround do you think of ... getting a link there without coding it?
