Implementing in WordPress 2.7

The TweetBacks WordPress plugin imports tweets as comments, storing them in between your other comments in the database. When it does that though, it gives them a specific type "tweetback". Because of this, you can separate the tweetbacks from normal comments and pingbacks/trackbacks.

To do this on WordPress 2.7, follow the following tutorial:

First, let's have a look at the default comment loop:

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
  <h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to &#8220;<?php the_title(); ?>&#8221;</h3>
  <ol class="commentlist">
  <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
  </ol>
  <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
    <div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
  </div>
  <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
      <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->
    <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
      <!-- If comments are closed. -->
      <p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>
    <?php endif; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>

That's actually pretty simple, simpler than before 2.7, but we'll need to do a couple of things to separate the tweetbacks and trackbacks/pingbacks.
First, open up your themes single.php file, and locate the following code:
```
<?php comments_template(); ?>
```
And change it to:
```
<?php comments_template('',true); ?>
```

Now open up comments.php, and find the following:

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

Add this below it:

<?php if ( !empty($comments_by_type['comment']) ) : ?>

And change this:

<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>

Into this:

<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment'); ?>

Directly underneath this wp_list_comments function you'll find </ol>, below this, add:
```
<?php endif; ?>
```

Now we'll add the tweetbacks below it:

<?php if ( ! empty($comments_by_type['tweetback']) ) : ?>
  <h3 id="pings">Tweetbacks</h3>
  <ol class="commentlist">
  <?php wp_list_comments('type=tweetback'); ?>
  </ol>
<?php endif; ?>

And the pingbacks below that:

<?php if ( ! empty($comments_by_type['pings']) ) : ?>
  <h3 id="pings">Trackbacks/Pingbacks</h3>
  <ol class="commentlist">
  <?php wp_list_comments('type=pings'); ?>
  </ol>
<?php endif; ?>
