Simple Author Highlighting and alternate post highlighting combined

can we nest an if this for two authors?

btw very nicely done.

This is how I addapted it for two authors ??

Then of course make your style sheets different.

<li class=”<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == “[email protected]”) echo ‘christopher’; else if ($comment->comment_author_email == “[email protected]”) echo ‘christine’; else echo $oddcomment; ?>” id=”comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>”>

Is there a way of doing this by fetching the author’s email direct from WordPress?

Great question. I would like to be able to do the same!- jeremy

What if you have 20+ writers on a blog? it wouldnt make sense to go into comments.php each time I have a new user, right? I bet there is a more efficient way.

Mod to Simon’s original:

<li class="<?php if ( $comment->comment_author_email == get_the_author_email() ) echo 'authorcomment'; else echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

Change the .mycomment class to .authorcomment in the css.

Thanks Kaf, I was looking at the functions on how to do this, and thought, maybe it’s already been asked in the forums, and lo and behold, it had. Worked like a charm.
