Hello
I was playing around with comments (still trying to find a solution to nesting comments). I’ve got 2 questions with this.
1. Is it possible to set shown comments to 0 – so that you’d have to say “show X comments” to show the comments?
This would solve some of the issues with the replies not nesting like the comments do – but this should also include a “hide” function.
I know this is possible with some PHP functions and I’ve played around with it a bit, but can’t seem to make it work like intended.
I would like not to display any comments – until people click the “show X comments” button – but they should be able to hide this by clicking it again somehow.2. Missing structure in the comments.
I’ve noticed that some of the comments are missing their separation lines and looks funny – they do work on the replies though.
Seems like a bug and that something went missing somewhere. 🙂
It would be pretty cool to use the current setup and configure a “toggle” possibility.
So that it would be possible to show comments but also hide them again with the same button (so button stays).
Hi Katrine,
Unfortunately, this feature is not available with BuddyPress and to our knowledge, there is no plugin that you could install to add this feature to your website. We think that this feature requires custom development work. In consequence, our recommendation is to hire a developer to do this job for you.
If you’re on a tight budget, we recommend you to require the services from Fiverr. This web platform gives you access to developers who already have experience with theme customizations, and for very competitive prices.
Disclaimer : we have no affiliation with Fiverr and are only recommending it as a starting point and a popular option for those who might not be sure where to look when in need of some custom work.
Concerning the missing space on top of some replies, it is because this reply is a reply to the comment above. So, there is no space to show the link between these two. Hope it will be clear. 🙂
Best,
I’m still looking into the nesting feature and I’m talking with a developer at the moment to see if this is possible *fingers crossed*.
Regarding the comments and separation – I get that you’re trying to show the link between the different replies and comments – but this is shown pretty clear already due to the current nesting feature and lines on the other comments. However replies (when multiple) should also be “separated” in my opinion since it currently looks wierd.
When there is multiple replies to the same comment they’re all just in one big mess – even if they got divided by the line (like the rest of the replies/comments) it would look way better since it would make more sense for the user. They would all still be “aligned” in a row to showcase where they belong.
Are there any CSS I can add to this – in order to create that line and separation?
Thanks! 🙂
I’ve been playing wround with the following, but can’t seem to figure it out. lol. 😀
#buddypress:not(.youzer) #activity-stream.grimlock-buddypress-activity-list .activity-item div.activity-comments > ul > li ul:not([class]) li, #buddypress:not(.youzer) #activity-stream.grimlock-buddypress-activity-list .activity-item div.activity-comments > ul > li ul.has-comments li { border-top: 1px solid var(--grimlock-table-striped-background-color); padding: 10px 0 10px; padding-left: 0px; }
Hi Katrine,
I understand your point of view. However, this is standard design with our theme, I’m afraid. As this is not breaking the page, changing this is considered customization work. Unfortunately, this is a service that we do not provide.
We only share snippet only to solve issues with our theme. Any further request for CSS snippets will have to be part of a defect that needs to be fixed urgently. No snippets will be shared otherwise.
If you want to go further with the customization of your website, we advise that you hire a developer to do it for you.
Thank you for your understanding.
