Separete trackbacks/pings and numbered comments

Question

I've been googling around for tutorials of how to a) number the comments in the comment list and b) seperate trackbacks/pings from the rest of your comments.

All the tutorials seem to be out of date?! They all suggest you look for something in your comment.php file that I haven't seen in any newer theme lately, namely:

<?php if ( $comments ) : ?>

or

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

I don't seem to have anything like that in my comment.php. I also checked the comment.template and comment.php in the wp-includes folder, but couldn't find anything. Also no luck looking through the function.php.

Here's the comment-related snipped of my function.php:

function mytheme_comment($comment, $args, $depth) {
$GLOBALS['comment'] = $comment; ?>
<li <?php comment_class('clearfix'); ?> id="li-comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
 <?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='63'); ?>
 <div id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
  <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata clearfix">
    <?php printf(__('<strong>%s</strong>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?><?php edit_comment_link(__('<img src="http://www.zoomingjapan.com/wp-content/themes/alltuts/images/edit.gif">'),'  ','') ?> <span><?php printf(__('%1$s @ %2$s'), get_comment_date('Y/n/j'),  get_comment_time('G:i')) ?>
  </span>
 <div class="text">
      <?php comment_text() ?>
  </div>
  </div>
  <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
     <em><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.') ?></em>
     <br />
  <?php endif; ?>

  <div class="reply">
     <?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth']))) ?>
  </div>
 </div>

And here's my comment.php: pastebin

I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

For numbering, in your comment.php, change this:

wp_list_comments('callback=mytheme_comment');

To this:

wp_list_comments(array(
  'callback'=>'mytheme_comment',
  'style'=>'ol',
));

For separation into comments and pingbacks, you'd do something like this:

wp_list_comments(array(
  'callback'=>'mytheme_comment',
  'style'=>'ol',
  'type'=>'comment',
));

wp_list_comments(array(
  'callback'=>'mytheme_comment',
  'style'=>'ol',
  'type'=>'pings',
));
