No space between comments

1 Mar 22, 2007 00:41    

I am using the custom skin at http://madrigalmaniac.com with version 1.9.2

User comments have no space between them, they are all bunched together. I don't remember it being that way in the previous version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

I can't find any difference between 1.8.x and 1.9.x that should explain why there isn't an empty line between two comments. But you could add one.
Open the file ../blogs/skins/_lastcomments.php and find line 54 where it reads:

	<!-- ========== END of a COMMENT ========== -->


add a <br /> right before this line.
Save and upload the file and things should show the way you want them to.

Thanks Afwas, but it didn't work. I tried the <br /> in a few other places with no success.

Here's what the code looked like after the change.

</div>
<br />
<!-- ========== END of a COMMENT ========== -->
<?php
} // End of comment loop.<br />

Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately I can't duplicate your setup on my machine, so I can only help you on a trial and error base.

If one <br /> doesn't work, often a second will, so try:


</div>
<br /><br />
<!-- ========== END of a COMMENT ========== -->
<?php
} // End of comment loop.

Good luck

Your issue is that the CSS file for "comments.css" doesn't appear to be loaded on your installation.

<html><head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<h1>404 Not Found</h1>

The requested URL /rsc/comments.css does not exist.

</body></html>

I would take a look at your header set up for that skin as it's only loading "custom.css"

Until you have the css file issue sorted, just add the following to your "custom.css" file

.bCommentSmallPrint{margin-bottom:2em;}

Good catch John. MadrigalManiac: none of your included css files are loading. Somewhere along the line you upgraded your blog and didn't upgrade your skin, or didn't upgrade it properly. Open your custom.css file, and everywhere in the top where it says "......rsc/filename.css" make it say ".....rsc/css/filename.css".
