Official comment Plugin

I meant *but what is ‘comment loop’

You can read about The_Loop in the Codex. And a similar code should be found in the comments.php file.

The comments loop is pretty basic. In most comments templates it’ll start like this:

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

Sigh, this only confused me more! Simply, where do i put both the php and css codes. I m sure there must be a simpler method for someone who is seeing PHP for the first time in life!

PHP: Example from the plugin page:

<li class="comment <?php echo (is_wpuser_comment() ? ' commentOfficialUser' : ''); ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

This means whatever your comments is using to define a comment block, make use of the class attribute for it (or add one if it doesn’t have it) and stick in the <?php .. ?> portion echoing out the proper value. Most comment templates will have each comment in an <li> (list) element, hence the example provided.

CSS: Goes into your stylesheet.

Really sorry to be so much troublesome. But I still dont get it at all. My bad day I suppose!

I have now found the loop, and done the following:

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

<?php if(is_wpuser_comment() != 0) {echo “Official”;} ?>

<li class=”comment <?php echo (is_wpuser_comment() ? ‘ commentOfficialUser’ : ”); ?>” id=”comment-&lt?php comment_ID() ?>”>

IN the Style sheet I have put this up:

/* Begin Comments*/
.alt {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
}

.commentlist {
padding: 0;
text-align: justify;
}

.commentlist li {
margin: 15px 0 3px;
padding: 5px 10px 3px;
list-style: none;
}

.commentlist p {
margin: 10px 5px 10px 0;
}

.commentOfficialUser {
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #999999
}

BUT – All I get is one small thin grey strip OVER the comment.

ALL I WANT to do is – have my comments in a solid colored box, so that they are differentiated.

Would also want the word “Official” to go, as it doesnt gel well, and merges into the comment over it! I removed it from the quotes after ‘echo’, and it seemed to go, but was that the right thing to do?

As of now its looking like this:https://www.deepakjeswal.com/?p=9#comments

Once again apologies for being a pain!
