Views using "path to display" instead of "path to node" for comment links (in pages, not feeds)

By the way, here's the exported view, just in case it helps:

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'comentarios';
$view->description = 'Comentarios';
$view->tag = 'comentarios';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'comments';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Valores por defecto', 'default');
$handler->override_option('relationships', array(
  'nid' => array(
    'label' => 'Nodo',
    'required' => 1,
    'id' => 'nid',
    'table' => 'comments',
    'field' => 'nid',
    'override' => array(
      'button' => 'Override',
    ),
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('sorts', array(
  'timestamp' => array(
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'granularity' => 'second',
    'id' => 'timestamp',
    'table' => 'comments',
    'field' => 'timestamp',
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('access', array(
  'type' => 'none',
));
$handler->override_option('title', 'Índice de comentarios');
$handler->override_option('use_pager', '1');
$handler->override_option('style_options', NULL);
$handler->override_option('row_plugin', 'comment');
$handler->override_option('row_options', array(
  'links' => 1,
));
$handler = $view->new_display('page', 'Página', 'page_1');
$handler->override_option('path', 'coments');
$handler->override_option('menu', array(
  'type' => 'none',
  'title' => '',
  'weight' => 0,
  'name' => 'navigation',
));
$handler->override_option('tab_options', array(
  'type' => 'none',
  'title' => '',
  'weight' => 0,
));
$handler = $view->new_display('feed', 'Feed', 'feed_1');
$handler->override_option('title', 'Últimos comentarios');
$handler->override_option('style_plugin', 'rss');
$handler->override_option('style_options', array(
  'mission_description' => 0,
  'description' => 'Últimos comentarios publicados',
));
$handler->override_option('row_plugin', 'comment_rss');
$handler->override_option('row_options', array());
$handler->override_option('path', 'comments/rss');
$handler->override_option('menu', array(
  'type' => 'none',
  'title' => '',
  'weight' => 0,
  'name' => 'navigation',
));
$handler->override_option('tab_options', array(
  'type' => 'none',
  'title' => '',
  'weight' => 0,
));
$handler->override_option('displays', array());
$handler->override_option('sitename_title', 0);

Upgraded to 6.x-2.3. Same behaviour.

Further testing has confirmed that this happens only in page displays, only if using node as the row style (does not happen with fields for row style or in feed displays).

Thanks

"The view as simple link is OK, btw. So I made a temporary workaround using this one."

Can you explain what do you mean by that, varkenshand? And what was the workaround?

Cheers

PS: I have tried to identify the error by having a look at the code. I was not clever enough to find it, though.
:-(

Yeah, well, I saw that one already, but my understanding is that fix is only valid for field row styles.

This bug is happening in comment row styles used in page displays. Comment row styles actually work in feeds!

The fix must be quite similar to the one you point out, but my poor coding skills (none) have not allowed me to find anything relevant (I tried, though).
:-(

Mmm ... another clue just recapping a bit.

In my HTML output I can find something like this:

<h3><a href="/comentarios#comment-5" class="active">Re: Why Drupal</a></h3>

Notice the "/comentarios" in front of the comment link (in bold). "comentarios" is the page url in my view (i.e. the page to display comments).

So the "/node" bit is actually been included (it would be something like <h3><a href="#comment-5" class="active"> otherwise), but the problem is, the current page node info is being inserted, instead of the original comment node info.

Do you think this could not be related to views but to Drupal core code? Maybe I forgot to add any extra info in my View?

Just in case, I also tried adding a Comment: Node relationship, just in case it was needed to build the full url (it was not needed in feeds). As expected, does not work.

I'm sorry about the delay, merlinofchaos, but I have been checking this a few times and can't see that Drupal is using only an anchor to point to the comment.

This is actually working fine and outputting the full URL path (with or without the server name) in [a] the node page itself, [b] a Block display in the same view (using fields row style, had to use field "id" instead of View link, probably not related), [c] a Feed display in the same view (using a RSS feed Style) with the same deafault values. But not in the Page display for that view (obviously using a Comment row style).

Being totally blind to php code, I could only look at the output for these in my browser:

This is what I see for the feed (right):

    <title>Primer comentario</title>
***    <link>http://test.server.com/entradas/1/primera-entrada#comment-1</link>
    <description>Here goes the content.</description>
     <pubDate>Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:48:00 +0000</pubDate>
 <dc:creator>Author</dc:creator>

This is what the actual node displays (right):

<div class="comment comment-published odd">

  <div class="clear-block">
      <span class="submitted">Sáb, 01/02/2010 - 17:48 — <a href="/usuarios/author" title="Ver perfil del usuario.">Author</a></span>
 
***    <h3><a href="/entradas/1/primera-entrada#comment-1" class="active">Primer comentario</a></h3>

    <div class="content">
      <p>Here goes the content.</p>
          </div>
  </div>

      <div class="links"><ul class="links"><li class="comment_delete first"><a href="/comment/delete/1">eliminar</a></li>

<li class="comment_edit"><a href="/comment/edit/1">editar</a></li>
<li class="comment_reply last"><a href="/comment/reply/1/1">responder</a></li>
</ul></div>
  </div>

And this is what I get in the page (wrong):

      <div class="view-content">
        <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first">
    <a id="comment-1"></a>
<code>
<div class="comment comment-published odd">

  <div class="clear-block">
      <span class="submitted">Sáb, 01/02/2010 - 17:48 — <a href="/users/author" title="Ver perfil del usuario.">Author</a></span>
    
***    <h3><a href="/comentarios#comment-1" class="active">First comment</a></h3>

    <div class="content">
      <p>Here goes the content.</p>

          </div>
  </div>

      <div class="links"><ul class="links"><li class="comment_delete first"><a href="/comment/delete/1">eliminar</a></li>
<li class="comment_edit"><a href="/comment/edit/1">editar</a></li>
<li class="comment_reply last"><a href="/comment/reply/1/1">responder</a></li>
</ul></div>
  </div>
  </div>

I have marked with three stars (***) the important bits.

Excuse me if I got it wrong, but from that I'd say there's something missing in the Comment Row style.
