Hopefully this will give you all the information you need: Nested (Threaded) Comments and Styling

Absolutely!

I’ll start a thread in the support forum here with the details.

And the netbook I’m looking at is the Acer Aspire 1410.

Can you provide us a sample *CSS script for us to customize our own threading comments? if possible. Where will we place the CSS script?

Sorry to be a pain though.

By the way, what netbook are you looking for?

It’s the built-in WordPress threaded comments function with custom CSS.

If you could share it. Tnx! Happy holidays!

Generally, GERC is a widget-only plugin, but you can manually call the function by adding this code to your template files where you want GERC to appear:

gren_reco( array() ); ?>

You don’t have to define array() but if you wanted to customize the way the comments are output, the array should be defined as:

array( 'before_widget'=>'',
'after_widget'=>'',
'before_title'=>'',
'after_title'=>'' )

Defined:

before_widget is the wrapper for the output and defaults to <div>
after_widget is the closing tag for the wrapper which defaults to </div>
before_title is the wrapper for the title as defined in your widget options – which is currently set to Recent Comments – and defaults to <h3>
after_title is the closing tag for the title wrapper which defaults to </h3>

Generally speaking, you could set before_widget to something like
<div class="mostRecentComments">
and you could use CSS to style the way GERC is presented using the class definition
.mostRecentComments { }
and you can style the listed comments using the ID definition
.mostRecentComments ul#gren-reco { }

Since you’re using a function defined as a widget, the title, number of comments, and gravatar size are all defined by the widget control. If you change any of these settings for the widget in your sidebar, it will also change for the manually inserted function. There is currently no way to separate them.

Hope this helps!

What is the code to manually insert Gravatar Enhanced Recent Comments ?
I wanted to have recent comments below my comment box.

Is this possible?
