Customising Comments

  • Hi,

    I havent had much look with my last thread so let me re-phrase my question.

    Can anybody give me advice or point me in the direction of documentation telling me how to customise comments. I need to be able to change the required fields and the appearence depending on who is adding the comment.

    Hi,

    Thanks for these, they are useful. However this mainly looks at changing the comments so that every other comment has a particular colour.

    I want my blog to recognise that the user adding the comment is an administrator and apply a different css style to the comment box.

    Can anyone offer the php if statement that would be required to make this change?

    A good example of this is in Andreas blog where his posted comments differ in style from others.

    Thanks

    I’ve seen some examples around here, didn’t save a link though. Seem to remember a ‘My Comments’ plugin that allowed you to apply different css to ‘your’ comment…

    EDIT: Found the author of that one: Martin H?egh Mortensen

    Hi,

    Thanks for that Yosemite, sorry for me being a pain, but I cannot speak any other languages and I cannot understand the blog you sent me.

    Sorry about that, do you know where I can simply click to download the plugin / widget?

    Thanks

    I’ve been trying to implement Brett’s Official Comments plugin, but I’ve run into a problem with the PHP that I can’t seem to troubleshoot. I’ve activated the plugin and added the class “commentOfficialUser” to the stylesheet, then I edited comments.php to include the following inside the loop:


    <?php if(is_wpuser_comment() != 2)
    echo "<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?> ">";
    else echo "<li class="<?php echo ' commentOfficialUser '; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">" ?>

    I’m trying to test if user #2 (me) is the user, if not then use the alternating backgrounds as normal, but if it is, use the “commentOfficialUser” class.

    Unfortunately, I get an error about an unexpected “?” in the line and I’m lost — any ideas?

    Thanks,
    gpence
