comments won't take class or id

cpk · 2006-09-25 06:55:49

This may actually belong in the presentation section but here goes…

I am trying to customize my comments forms (not the actual input forms but the txp presentation forms) and want to insert a class attribute for each of the comment divs. According to the TxP wiki, this can be done easily by placing the attribute into the <txp:comments class="myclass" /> form.

Problem is that once I insert the class attribute and review the source code of the updated page in which the comments appear, all I see are plain div tags surrounding each of the comments.

Am I doing this wrong or is my TxP installation misbehaving?

I am running TxP 4.0.3 with the comments NOT displayed as a numbered list.

Thanks,

You need to apply the class to the comments themselves, which isn’t controlled by <txp:comments />. Presentation>Forms>comments. The comments form represents an individual comment. Add your classes and other styles to that form, including the <div> and </div>. Then, change <txp:comments /> to <txp:comments break="" wraptag="" />.

I am a bit confused. I currently have no divs applied in either the <txp:comments_display />, <txp:comments_form />, or <txp:comments /> TxP presentation forms but when I look at the source code of my page, each of the comments is wrapped in a plain div tag with no id or class applied.

When I attempt to modify the <txp:comments /> form by adding a div, with the desired class, I get new div applied to each individual comment with whatever class attribute I have specified but it’s nested within the automatically generated div for each comment.

I can’t seem to get at the generic div that appears to be automatically generated by TxP to add a class attribute.

The div is added when you turn “Wrap comments in a list” off in the Admin>Prefs tab. That’s why you use <txp:comments break="" wraptag="" /> in the form, comments_display.

Thanks jm!

With your help I got it working.

I think I finally get it now. ;-)
