Here is a small modification that I've made to the php fusion so that we can enjoy a fully functional well displayed paged COMMENTS (15 per page) + captcha image anti-spam protection and not this a bit silly math calculation....

First of all you have to edit files so make a copy before editing each one. Now let's stick to the business:

Open your includes/comments_include.php and replace the code within with this one:

Open maincore.php and find the following line:

function makepagenav($start,$count,$total,$range=0,$link=""){

ABOVE this line, place the following:

function commentpagenav($start,$count,$total,$range=0,$link=""){ global $locale; if ($link == "") $link = FUSION_SELF."?"; $res=""; $pg_cnt=ceil($total / $count); if ($pg_cnt > 1) { $idx_back = $start - $count; $idx_next = $start + $count; $cur_page=ceil(($start + 1) / $count); $res.="<table cellspacing='1' cellpadding='1' border='0' class='tbl-border'>\n<tr>\n"; $res.="<td class='tbl2'><span class='small'>".$locale['052']."$cur_page".$locale['053']."$pg_cnt</span></td>\n"; if ($idx_back >= 0) { if ($cur_page > ($range + 1)) $res.="<td class='tbl2'><a class='small' href='$link"."rowstartt=0'><<</a></td>\n"; $res.="<td class='tbl2'><a class='small' href='$link"."rowstartt=$idx_back'><</a></td>\n"; } $idx_fst=max($cur_page - $range, 1); $idx_lst=min($cur_page + $range, $pg_cnt); if ($range==0) { $idx_fst = 1; $idx_lst=$pg_cnt; } for($i=$idx_fst;$i<=$idx_lst;$i++) { $offset_page=($i - 1) * $count; if ($i==$cur_page) { $res.="<td class='tbl1'><span class='small'><b>$i</b></span></td>\n"; } else { $res.="<td class='tbl1'><a class='small' href='$link"."rowstartt=$offset_page'>$i</a></td>\n"; } } if ($idx_next < $total) { $res.="<td class='tbl2'><a class='small' href='$link"."rowstartt=$idx_next'>></a></td>\n"; if ($cur_page < ($pg_cnt - $range)) $res.="<td class='tbl2'><a class='small' href='$link"."rowstartt=".($pg_cnt-1)*$count."'>>></a></td>\n"; } $res.="</tr>\n</table>\n"; } return $res; }

Ok done, now in order to display your comments correctly, all you have to do is lets say to open readarticle.php

Find the line that includes comments include (looks like this):

if ($data['article_allow_comments']) showcomments("A","articles","article_id",$article_id,FUSION_SELF."?article_id=$article_id");

And add 6th parameter within the showcomments() function called $rowstartt like that:

if ($data['article_allow_comments']) showcomments("A","articles","article_id",$article_id,FUSION_SELF."?article_id=$article_id",$rowstartt);

You can do that on all pages on which you want to add comments, e.g. news.php, just add the $rowstartt 6th parameter and it will display correctly and etc...
