FAQ
- What Do I Enter in the Options Page?
-
The plugin Options page just has couple of text boxes where you put the bits of CSS you want to apply to highlighted comments. Don’t include { or }: just the CSS. For example, by default the plugin applies the CSS
padding: 1em
which ‘indents’ the comment a little all round. If you wanted to also make the text red, for example, you would usecolor: red; padding: 1em
.You can style the body of the comment itself and/or the link to the comment author.
- CSS Styling… What’s That?
-
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is too complex a subject to go into here. A good resource is provided by the Web Design Group.
- How About Some Examples?
-
Here’s where some artistry would be a help! In lieu of skill here are some examples to play with:
- padding: 1em;
- padding-left: 20px;
- background-color: #FFFF95;
- border-left: 1em solid #DDD; padding: 1em;
- background: white url(http://www.yourblog.com/images/fluffy-clouds.gif)
- background-color: silver; margin-left: -2em; padding: 1em 1em 1em 2em;
- etc.
- How Does It Know Which Comments to Highlight?
-
The plugin simply compares the email of the post author with the email of the commentor. This works fine as long as a post author is logged in when commenting. It will fail if the author is not logged in and uses a different email.
