   Author Comment @Zach The problem, sadly, falls with Gravatar and their service. It seems to be a little unreliable at times. The next version of SexyComments will cache the avatars. I’ll be working on that over the next week. Reply to this comment.

   Hi Im trying to get this plugin working on my blog but being new to wordpress cant find the code in my theme to edit. I am using the default theme which seems to be based on the kubrick theme. Any help on the code i need to edit to display this plugin Thanks in advance Dave Reply to this comment.

9. Matt Posted: Apr 12th, 2007 at 6:04 am

   Author Comment @Dave Sure. In Kubrick (and most themes), the file you want to edit is comments.php. Find the section that looks like: < ?php if ($comments) : ?> <h3 id="comments">< ?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “< ?php the_title(); ?>”</h3> <ol class="commentlist"> < ?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?> <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-< ?php comment_ID() ?>"> <cite>< ?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> Says: < ?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?> <em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em> < ?php endif; ?> <br /> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ? rel="nofollow">" title="">< ?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at < ?php comment_time() ?></a> < ?php edit_comment_link('e','',''); ?></small> < ?php comment_text() ?> </li> < ?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */ if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = ''; else $oddcomment = 'alt'; ?> < ?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?> </ol> < ?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?> < ?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?> <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --> < ?php else : // comments are closed ?> <!-- If comments are closed. --> <p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p> < ?php endif; ?> < ?php endif; ?> Remove that and replace it with the sexycomments function call. I would suggest making saving a copy of comments.php prior to deleting the code, however. Reply to this comment.

    Hi Matt, Is there any way to get long URLs to break rather than extend thru the columns? Someone left a long URL on a comment to one of my posts and it hangs out past the column width. Mostly asthetic but figured I’d ask. URL: http://www.whitemountaintech.net/wordpress/2007/04/11/pbwiki-yackpack-voice-enabled-wiki/ John Reply to this comment.

    Author Comment @fionaheartist I know this is an odd question to ask…but…Are you sure you replaced the code in the appropriate theme? (I’ve been prone to editing the wrong theme from time to time). Do you have a page with comments that I can see? Reply to this comment.

    The plugin seems to be working great aside from one problem. The only gravatar that seems to be showing is my own. All of the gravatars from other peoples comments are now just the grey shadow man. Any ideas as to what is going on? Reply to this comment.

    Just wondering if you could incorporate mybloglog.com avatars into this plugin? They are used a lot more than gravatar. This plugin uses them, if it is of any help to you…. http://www.napolux.com/2006/12/14/myavatars-a-wordpress-plugin-for-mybloglog/ That is currently the plugin that I use to get avatars, but I like the layout of yours much better. I would love to see the mybloglog avatars integrated. :) Reply to this comment.

    thanks very much for this plugin matt. even though i’m not an coding-crack i managed to replace the code as needed and made a few cheanges to the appearance. but one problem is left: the font-size of the normal text is a bit small and i’m not sure how to make it bigger. do i have to create a new div-tag with an font-size 1em for the normal text?

    Hi, is Sexy Comments compatible with WP 2.2.1? Getting the “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.” message. BTW, I’m using WAMP on my local machine as a test site whilst I get a VPS set up. If anyone knows of a way to dump the error logs to see what’s happening, I’d be glad to post them up.
