 Different style when author posts a comment? |
 |
Is there a way you could have an "Author" image or a certain effect of your choice (different cell color, larger name font, etc.) that appears when the article's author posts? I just think it creates separation from ordinary commenters is all.

Cool trick, thanks! But I'd really like an author image to pop up and maybe someone can fill me in on that.

Just follow the instructions and modify it a little bit. Experiment!
For example, instead of
 | | if($tpl['comment']['author'] == "admin1"){
echo '<font style="color:red">'.$tpl['comment']['author'].'</font>'; |
you could put in
| | if($tpl['comment']['author'] == "admin1"){
echo $tpl['comment']['author'].'<img src="link to image here" />'; |

Okay, I'll give that a try but I have two more questions:
1. I noticed that the code was for Strawberry. Would it work in Cutenews.ru?
2. Where do I place this code? All it says on that thread is "template" but that doesn't look like the typical code you can run on your template. It has to be one of the *.inc files, but which one?

1. Add this to functions.inc.php:
| | if(!function_exists('commenter_is_author')){
function commenter_is_author($id, $commenter){
global $sql;
$query = reset($sql->select(array('table' => 'news', 'where' => array("id = ".$id))));
if($query['author'] == $commenter){
$return = true;
}
else{
$return = false;
}
return $return;
}
} |
2. In show.comments.php change this:
| | $output = str_replace('{author}', ($user_name[$row['author']] ? $user_name[$row['author']] : $row['author']), $template_comment); |
to this:
| | $output = str_replace('{author}', ($user_name[$row['author']] ? (commenter_is_author($id, $row['author']) ? $user_name[$row['author']].' <img src="path_to_image" />' : $user_name[$row['author']]) : (commenter_is_author($id, $row['author']) ? $row['author'].' <img src="path_to_image" />' : $row['author'])), $template_comment); |
Replace "path_to_image" with the path to the image you want to show.
(Not tested.)

One other thing: how do I change the text color for the username too?

I think it's better to change the <img>-tag to a span or div with a class attached and control everything from CSS.

Good idea, but where do I put the <div class="namehere"></div> on that code so that the author name would be included? Putting it here (see below) wouldn't affect the color, it'll just show the image.
 | | $output = str_replace('{author}', ($user_name[$row['author']] ? (commenter_is_author($id, $row['author']) ? $user_name[$row['author']].' <div class="namehere"></div>' : $user_name[$row['author']]) : (commenter_is_author($id, $row['author']) ? $row['author'].' <div class="namehere"></div>' : $row['author'])), $template_comment); |
