Could you elaborate a bit more, I don’t understand exactly what you are hoping to do. Thanks. 🙂
first, u set ure wordpress to allow 2 threads of comments (comment, and a single reply lane)
k then, lets try this use case:
u post a post right? right.
post has a comment button right? right.
u comment.
u wanna reply to the comment so u press reply right? right.
u wanna reply the threaded reply so u press the reply button right? rong. cz theres no reply button on the last reply, so u’ll have to go up to the original comment and press reply in order to reply the reply.
i want my reply button on the threaded reply.
thx chelly
allow more levels of threading in settings->discussion (3 levels deep)
I’d already done that if i thought that was the solution. i dont want me blog looking retarded with 5 threads of comments. 2 is all i want
If I’m not mistaken, the depth of threading allows for the button
If you want the button, you have to increse the threading number
The retarded look of your blog has to do with the coding….. as in how the css is set up to handle the appearance of your threaded comments.
that doesn’t help me at all
my taste says: a blog threaded 2+ looks retarded – any blog
i want the reply button, i dont want the additional threads – solve this i solve u a marriage problem
my taste says: a blog threaded 2+ looks retarded – any blog
then restyle it
i want the reply button, i dont want the additional threads
I’m trying to explain to you that you have to have more than 2 levels to have the reply button. Simple as that. Or you will need to write your own plugin most likely. I don’t see any plugin that seems to do what you are after. Or, like I said earlier you have to edit your theme to change the css for comment layout.
3,4 or 5 level threading doesn’t have to look like 3 levels. Your css is just coded that way. As are most themes. I can’t give you specific guidance on recoding your theme, as all themes are different…. and it would be a pretty heavy rewrite.
solve this i solve u a marriage problem
I don’t have any marriage problems thanks, I’m very happily married
u actually are up to something here..
i suppose thread 3,4.. are also havin their own css..
i go hunting 4 the css now
if i fix this i fix ure marriage anyways!
thx doode
yup…. how things are displayed are all in the css.
You can make level 3, level 4, etc, look exactly like level 2.
Then they look the exact same, but you can reply up to 4 times.
I’m glad you are catching my drift! good luck!
doode?
is u ok with going a little technical?
i found the property lines:
.commentlist li.comment { margin: 20px 0px; background: url(images/content_line.png) repeat-y 117px 0px; }
.commentlist li.comment ul { margin: 8px 0px 8px 117px; }
but, as u can see, all the threads’ positions are defined by a single value that slides them: 117px. if i change that 117, everything shifts.
i’m sad again.
So what happens if you change the 117px by just a little at a time until you get the desired position?
all the threads move together
Could you post the url of the site? It’s easier to work with the CSS if I can see exactly what is going on. 🙂
sorry, working local at the moment
