wp_list_comments(‘type=comment&callback=advanced_comment’)
The type is setting the type of comments to fetch.
There’s a function for seperating the comments by type..
http://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/tags/3.0.1/wp-includes/comment.php#L633
However, there’s also the second parameter in comments_template().
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/comments_template
I’ve not tried to seperate comment types before myself.. just thought i’d point toward those two functions as possible areas of interest… 🙂
Thanks much!
I have no idea how I missed that, cuz I’ve been through the codex a few times…but there it is…explained clear as day!
Thanks for pointing that out, gives me something to work with!
Of course it might just be easier to do something like..
<ul>
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment'); ?>
<?php wp_list_comments('type=pingback'); ?>
</ul>
Never tried it, but i’d consider that a simple method.. you could even have different callbacks for each different type (in theory – again not tried it).
Always happy to help though… 😉
Yup, everything was pretty much ready to go to separate things… I just had to repeat the lising with the pings type like so:
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=advanced_comment'); //this is the important part that ensures we call our custom comment layout defined above
?>
</ol>
<h3 class="commentTitle">Trackbacks and Pingbacks</h3>
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=pings&callback=advanced_comment'); //this is the important part that ensures we call our custom comment layout defined above
?>
</ol>
Works perfectly….. I’m having a ‘thick’ week…. I seriously looked over that bit of code, and the wp_list_comments codex page like ten times. As soon as you nudges me, I had it all sorted in about 2 minutes!
I must say, i definately do prefer seperated comment types myself, annoying reading a good blog’s comments only to have to keep skipping over piles of trackbacks and pings in between.
More nudges available on request … 🙂

OK, I’m slowly working on the little things with my theme.
I redid my comments a while back, and I guess I don’t totally understand what I’ve done? :/ (no surprise)
What I’ve got going on is all well and good, I like the results. I was going through a tutorial on separating my trackbacks from my comments…. however what I’ve got now doesn’t even display trackbacks. It does include them in the count.. like on a post with no comments and 3 trackbacks, it will say 3 comments, but show nothing.
I’ll just post this up here in case someone feels frisky and wants to take a look, maybe at least help me understand a bit…. what have I got going on here that doesn’t display trackbacks?
How would I get them back? (Bonus points for helping me separate the trackbacks from the comments, but if I can understand what’s what here, maybe I can work through the reste)
Here’s all the code, comments.php on top, functions.php on bottom

Thanks folks!
