threaded comments

when i first started working on the threaded comments hack for b2, i accidently dropped an important field in my comments database table. fortunately i caught a tech support from e-starr.net online. they restored my database but i lost yesterday’s entry about my button exchange and its comments *darn!*

i realize if i want the threaded comments to really look like the one on livejournal, i will probably have to go into recursion. hehe.. i’m too lazy to do that so now the replied comments have a link to the comments it’s responding it. what you think? is that confusing or helpful? I DID THE RECURSION YAY! i haven’t written the readme and database update script yet. i want to hear some feedback first.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A BETA TESTER? download here - if there’s anything wrong, i won’t be able to fix it until tomorrow. i’m going home from work now :)

oh yeah, i also want to thank those who commented in my past couple “dull entries” LOL Connie Daynah eftalia Grace Kim leah Lele Lizzy mar Rita

This a reply to your comment. hehe Can you replace the comment number with the commenters name Dodo? Or maybe space the reply in a bit? I like it though, you rock Dodo!

hi dodo! cool layout! i really like your attitude. keep it up!

June 5th, 2003 at 11:20 am
dodo [ Quote ]

wow, stop stretching my poor comments area.. i think three levels of threading is probably good enough for daily usage. of course my script will handle infinite threading. it will just destroy your layout if you keep stretching and stretching :(

stretch test 3 - What inspired this, btw, dodo? ^^ Did you have a set of comments that required it?

June 5th, 2003 at 8:34 pm
dodo [ Quote ]

at times i wish i can reply to certain comments. i just added a link to allow no thread view.

June 5th, 2003 at 10:19 pm
dodo [ Quote ]

the reason lj works is because they use the WHOLE PAGE for their comments section. you know what i mean?

sobby! it’s not working for me :( I’m getting database errors.. (and some lines from the readme didn’t quite match up with mine.. perhaps I am not using the most recent release)

June 6th, 2003 at 11:12 am
Lele [ Quote ]

oy I restored my database, and re-tried the script.. still getting “There is an error with the database, it can’t store your comment…” :( What do you think is wrong?
