How many comments?

[Lothar]

On my new blog (http://blog.telmarkt.de) a comment was added to category "CallCenter / Umfragen". I posted an answer to this comment. The entry is has now a comment count of 2. However, the statistics side bar knows only one comment. Are there different counters?

Hi!

Hm, that's strange. Could you check the Database table 'serendipity_comments' and see which columns are filled there?

The SQL query used by the statistics plugin is:

Code: Select all

SELECT count(id) FROM serendipity_comments WHERE type = 'NORMAL' AND status = 'approved'

So the only reason that the counts can differ would be that one of your 2 comments is either not the 'NORMAL' type (maybe a trackback?) or it is not approved?

Garvin, the displayed counters are now the same. After some time - may be an hour - the display was correct.

I will watch the counters when new comments are added. And then I will query the database.

Hi!

Ah, okay. The statistics sidebar plugin is cached! That's your problem.

You can change the caache timeout in the sidebar plugins config.
