Playing with nested comments

Posted on 23rd Feb 2007 in : Plugins & Widgets

I finally decided to have a play with nested comments for b2evo, which is something Scott asked me about a fair tad ago and, barring a few bits and bobs, I've now got a plugin that achieves this.

At the moment it's not available for download as it still needs work to add the depth to each of the comments so that they can be styled easily, and I still need to work out what to do with child comments if you decide to delete their parent. The basic choices are to change their parent to the grandparent, remove the parent completely and return them to their date order position, or to delete them along with their parent. Of course the ideal solution would be to offer all three choices and leave it to you to decide when you delete a comment, but I haven't even begun to look into how achievable that would be.

Once I've sorted out all of that I'll make another post and attach the plugin, along with basic instructions for installing and using it.

What happens to the child comment should the parent comment get killed is easy. Any and all children inherit all of the properties of their deceased parents, including any debt. Just like real life. :p

Gary ...

Yabba got the nested comment idea from me & the date 'card' from Topanga (i.e., from his own head and from enhancement requests from the forums and other users).

He's the ace that makes all the cool shit!

Hi Paul
Just having a mess at home and can't seem to login to ftp for Garys Blog.
When I atempt to go in it lets me in but my skin KELJEM isn't there ?

Any ideas, have you moved it somewhere when you have been coding ?

I tried ftp.garysblog.co.uk and www.garysblog.co.uk

I am sure it will be me, but any idea ?

Mmmmm. Can't seem to add anything the the _main.php I can edit it but then it just wont go back on.
Have a try in the Link Section as I was going to add something under the I collect patches bit (bottom right) in there, but just can't get it to work ?

I think I have just lost the plot mate :-)
