Allows to display the comments in reverse order. Latest comment first, oldest last.

== Description ==

A really simple Wordpress Plugin. It provides the function `ro_comments_template()`, which allows the comments to be
displayed in reverse order (thus the newest comments first, oldest last).


== Installation ==

Just unpack the archive contents into the WordPress directory. Then activate the Plugin in the Plugin Manger.
The files in the `theme-examples` directory are examples for the integration into your themes.
You do not need to upload this subdirectory to your blog.

*OR*

To use the new function you need to implement it in your templates.

If you want your comments to be displayed in reverse order in every post, you need to replace in file "single.php" the line

`<?php comments_template(); ?>`

with

`<?php if(function_exists('ro_comments_template')) ro_comments_template(); else comments_template(); ?>`



== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What are the files in theme-examples directory =

`  theme-examples/
    default                      (English default theme)
      comments-topinput.php      comments.php adapted for a guestbook (engl)
      tpl_guestbook.php          template for a guestbook (engl)

    default_de                   (German default theme)
      comments-topinput.php      comments.php adapted for a guestbook (engl)
      tpl_gaestebuch.php         template for a guestbook (engl)
`

= Building a guestbook for the Kubrik theme =

Precondition: comments-topinput.php and tpl_gaestebuch.php are in in your template directory.

1. Create a new page. Title e.g. "guestbook"
2. Allow comments for this page
3. Choose the template "Guestbook" for this page.

Done!

If you want the comment input fields "blogstyle" at the bottom of the page, just change inside
tpl_gaestebuch.php the line

`<?php if(function_exists('ro_comments_template')) ro_comments_template("/comments-topinput.php"); else comments_template(); ?>`

to

`<?php if(function_exists('ro_comments_template')) ro_comments_template(); else comments_template(); ?>`


= Building a guestbook for other themes =

If you don't use the Kubrik/Default theme, it is still very easy to build your own template.
A good template to start with is "page.php" and "single.php". Copy "page.php" and rename it.
The line `<?php comments_template(); ?>` is important. Change it as described above.
Add a header to your new page, to tell Wordpress it is a template.

e.g.

`<?php
/*
Template Name: Guestbook
*/
?>`
