A small fix for JomComment

Written by Administrator

Friday, 26 January 2007

I have just written a small fix for the lovely comment system called JomComment. In case you use it, you might have seen that irritating smiley background that overlaps the comment area on the right.

It's just a small visual error, but hey let's fix it anyway. I have attached an image so you can see the before / after results.

You will need to open the css file for JomComment. It's located here:

../ mambots / content / pcajaxcomment / style.css

Open the file and find these lines of codes:

#bb_container, #bb_main , div.bb_front {
    height:26px;
    display:block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
    background-image: url(smilies/bbcode_bg.gif);
    background-position: right 0px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Change the margin part so it looks like this:

#bb_container, #bb_main , div.bb_front {
    height:26px;
    display:block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
    background-image: url(smilies/bbcode_bg.gif);
    background-position: right 0px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Once you save the modified css file and refresh the browser with a ctrl+f5 you should have a better looking comment system.

And if you haven't tried JomComment you should def. give it a go. It's good looking, secure, easy to install and Ajax Powered...

You can find JomComment here.

Any idea why I get an error in Internet Explorer, "Object doesn't support this property or method" after I do a submit on my test site?

That's not really my worry because I haven't really noticed it until you pointed it out.

The only thing about Jomcomment that make me tick is the fact that if you set the size of the avatar larger than 60x60 they start to stack on top of each other. I've changed the template of JoomlaComment secessfully when I was using it. I have try with JomComment

I just can't. I'll try again later though, thanks anyway.
