comments, need help?? Options

[omgstfu]

Well, usually myspace comments say "Display 50 of 4549584". Well on a profile i saw that it said "Display 3 of 45454545". Whats the code to display less comments on the page, so that it appears as ""Display 3 of 45454545"???

please help.

is that possible without using javascript? you can try using overflow.

however, you have to change from

CODE

overflow:auto;

to

CODE

overflow:hidden;

but you'd have to change it everytime someone makes a comment on your page. or i guess you can try editing the comments itself? like the height. i'm still a rookie so you can try but i'm not 100% sure.

hmm that didn't work. thanks anywayss.


anyone else??

please help.

oh. wait. do you mean displaying only 3 comments. or it just says "display 3"

[omgstfu]

yeahh like both, like it displays 3 comments and says "displaying 3 comments" instead of "displaying 50 comments".

does anyone know how??

if you can find a profile with that and you're pretty handy with HTML and such, you could view the source and look through the codes for something that looks like it's doing that.
or you could even give us a couple links and i'm sure somebody would gladly look through the source.

maybe they did it themselves and it's a custom comment thing?

p.s.-don't double post, just wait. :]

you can search through google. i found it once but i don't know where the site anymore.

The only way to do what you wish to is to specify a length which will show only the first few comments. Something like this:

CODE

<style>
.friendsAndComments {overflow:hidden; height:900px; width:435px;}
.friendsAndComments table {width:100%;}
</style>
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
<div class="friendsAndComments">
<table style="display:none;"><tr><td>
<table><tr><td>

Changing the pixel height will increase or decrease the amount of comments that are viewable on your Myspace page.

omgstfu is also asking how to change the number for "Displaying # of # comments".

this will hide it

CODE

<style>
.friendscomments b{display:block;}
</style>

and then you can create a div with transparent background

CODE

<div style="background-color:transparent; position:absolute; top:##px; left:##px;">Displaying # of # comments</div>

and change the ## to position where you want it to show. also change the # to how many comments are shown.

there's one for friends but i don't think it's possible for comments.
