Setup

Table dc_comback is automatically created when you first enter the admin interface.

To display your replies, add {{tpl:CombackContent}} at the end of the comment-scanning loop, in the post.html of your theme:

...
<tpl:Comments>
        ...
        {{tpl:CommentContent}}</dd>
        <tpl:CommentsFooter>
                </dl>
        </tpl:CommentsFooter>
        {{tpl:CombackContent}}
</tpl:Comments>
...

Customization

To customize the style of replies, and for example give them a blueish background, add this at the bottom of the style.css of your theme:

...
#comments dd.comback_content {
        background: #dee;
}

You can modify $comback_display_str in config.php for deeper customization, but be careful not to loose it when upgrading.

Upgrading

To install a new version of ComBack, just delete plugins/comback/ directory and install the new ComBack package.

Advanced functions

To display the number of replies for a given post, use {{tpl:PostNbCombacks}} with 4 optional arguments: none, one, and more are the text displayed when there are respectively none, one, or more replies. prefix will prepend the resulting string if it is not empty. For example, in the home.html of your theme:

...
 {{tpl:EntryCommentCount}}
    {{tpl:PostNbCombacks one="one reply" more="%s replies" prefix=" ::  ")}}
    </tpl:EntryIf>
...

This version does not implement an RSS feed of the comments and replies for a given post; every contribution to add it is welcome.
