-Notes (v.4)

  • Reasons why this might not work for you:
    1. you have not completely removed a previous code used to hide the comments or place comments in a scrollbox.
    2. you have added extra <table> tags or closed off default tables in order to hide sections of your profile.
    example: <div style=”display:none;”><table><tr><td> ect ect..
    3. there’s quite a few things that will conflict with this.. trial and error!
  • (FireFox Only)- If your friend has a long name with no spaces (example: ihavealongannoyingnameXcore) it will stretch out the table cell that it’s in and throw everything off. Check that out if something doesn’t look right.
  • quick lesson on “position: relative”
    top: -45px = moves up 45px
    top: 45px = moves down 45px
    left: -15px = moves left 15px
    left: 15px = moves right 15px

  • Any attributes in red can be adjusted to your preference.
  • Steps 2 & 3 go in your style tags!

STEP 1. - Choose your type of profile.

(PERSONAL) - place at the very bottom of your “I’d Like To Meet” section:

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<div class="comt"><table class="off"><tr><td><table><tr><td>

(BAND) - place at the very bottom of your “Bio” section:

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<div class="comt"><table class="frnd"><tr><td>
<table class="off"><tr><td><table><tr><td>

STEP 2. - Add ONE of the codes to either hide or keep the top 8+ friends.

Comments WITH top 8+ (DO NOT EDIT)

.comt td, .comt table{width:0px!important; height:0px!important; background-color:transparent!important; border:0px!important; _padding:2px!important;} .comt .comt td, .comt table, .comt td a img, .comt td td td a, .comt td b a, .comt td .redlink{visibility:visible;} .comt td td td b{top:0px; display:inline;} .comt .redtext15{display:none;} .comt td b, .blacktext10 {display:block;} .comt table, .comt td b, .comt .btext, .redlink{position:relative; top:-9px;} .comt {z-index:7;}

Comments WITHOUT top 8+ (DO NOT EDIT)

.comt td, .comt table{width:0px!important; height:0px!important; background-color:transparent!important; border:0px!important; _padding:2px!important;} .comt, .comt td, .comt table, .comt td a img, .comt td td td a, .comt td b a, .comt td .redlink{visibility:visible;} .comt td td td b{top:0px; display:inline;} .comt td td td table, .comt .redtext15, .redlink, .comt .btext, .frnd{display:none;} .comt td b, .blacktext10 {display:block;} .comt {z-index:7;}
.comt table, .comt b {position:relative; top:-39px; _top:-30px;}

* DO NOT add the code in red to band pages.
“_top:XXpx;” should always be about 9px less than the “top:XXpx;”

STEP 3. - Changing Position, Sizes, & Styles.

The MAIN COMMENT DIV

JB{The Main: comment div;}
.comt {width:450px; height:390px; overflow:auto;
background-color:white; border:1px solid; border-color:black; position:absolute; top:400px; left:50%; margin-left:-100px; }
JB {Timestamp: width;}
.blacktext10 {width: 320px;}

* the timestamp width should be roughly around 130px less than the main Comt Div.

- HIDES AN UN-HIDES -

JB{hides: online now images in comments & top 8}
.comt td td td .ImgOnlineNow{display:none;}

JB{hides: online now images only in top 8}
.comt td td td td .ImgOnlineNow{display:none;}

JB{hides: comment timestamp}
.blacktext10{visibility:hidden;}

JB{hides: Displaying XX of XX comments(View/Edit All Comments)}
.comt td b{display:none;}

JB{hides: name has XXX friends}
.comt .btext{display:none;}

JB{hides: View All of names Friends link}
.redlink{display:none;}

JB{hides: friend name links}
.comt td td td a{visibility:hidden!important;font-size:0px!important;}

JB{unhides: friend name links in top 8 (fix for above code)}
.comt td td td td a{visibility:visible!important; font-size:10px !important;}

JB{hides: friends name links only in top 8}
.comt td td td td a{visibility:hidden!important; font-size:0px !important;}

JB{hides: the Add Comment link}
.comt td a{visibility:hidden;}

* hiding friend name links also hides all links in comments.

- RESIZE COMMENT IMAGES -

JB{resizes: images posted in comments}
.comt td td td img {width:300px; max-width:300px; _width:300px !important;}

JB{resizes: linked images including friends profile pic}
.comt td td td a img {width:90px; max-width:260px; _width:90px !important;}

JB{resizes: online now image}
.comt td td td .ImgOnlineNow {width:80px!important;}

JB{resizes: top 8 friend pics}
.comt td td td td img {width:80px!important;}

* the “_width:” is for IE only

- ADDONS & EXTRAS -

JB{moves comment timestamp down}
.blacktext10 {position:relative; top:20px;}

JB{adds comment spacer line}
.blacktext10{border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:black;}

JB{add background image to timestamp}
.blacktext10{background-image:url(url_to_pic.gif);}

JB{center Displaying XX of XX comments View Edit All Comments}
.comt td b {text-align:center;}

JB{comment section scrollbar color}
.comt {
scrollbar-face-color: 000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: 000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: 000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: 000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: 000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: FFFFFF;
scrollbar-track-color: FFFFFF;
}

- SELECTORS FOR MORE ADVANCED CODERS -

JB{all text in comments}
.comt td td td, .comt td td td b {}

JB{Add Comment link (all links)}
.comt td a {}
.comt td a:hover {}

JB{links in comments and friends name}
.comt td td td a {}
.comt td td td a:hover {}

JB{Displaying XX of XX comments View Edit All Comments}
.comt td b, .comt td b a, .redtext {}
.comt td b a:hover {}

JB{View All of names Friends link}
.comt td a.redlink {}
.comt td a.redlink:hover {}

JB{name has XXX friends}
.comt td .btext, .comt td .redbtext {}

  1. you give GREAT tutorial

  2. haha :P

  3. I’d be such a loser without this tutorial.

  4. It’s amazing how much you can customize.

  5. Disco D from Div SPace 9:01 pm Thu Aug 17 2006

    fuck every other site…joy boner made me rich!!!!!

    bitch

    $$$$$$$

  6. Awesome tut for us nubs.

  7. Awesome Tutorial !!!!

    Just one question….How do you change the Background of each individual comment and other parts of the comment? Thanks ….

  8. you can’t :/ it’s the same exact selector so there’s no way to do it unless you processed the comment through a comment box that gave each comment a class name. but you’d have to write a script for it and everyone would HAVE to use the comment box.

    i did this a while ago and it turned into a big pain in the ass when somebody pressed didn’t use the box. i would just make a background image ;)

  9. The best there is. :)

    Only one suggestion. Small. In your ‘Resize comment images’ you might wanna include an embed element resize… er thing.
    .comt td embed { max-width: XXXpx !important; width: XXXpx !important; }
    Somtimes those crazy myspace kids leave huge youtube movies. :-P

  10. eric! that’s the best suggestion i’ve ever got for this tutorial. thanks a million! i would have never thought about that cuz i’ve never accepted videos in my comments :P

  11. i have a question. is there anyway to have…
    JB{hides: Displaying XX of XX comments(View/Edit All Comments)}
    .comt td b{display:none;}

    showing without the comment div? like is there anyway i can position that? maybe with margin-left: XXXpx; margin-top:XXXpx; ? i have no idea im just guessing.

  12. sorry, im very slow at this time of night.

    i get the ‘personal’ bit that you copy RIGHT at the bottom of the id like to meet section, but where do you put the second bit :S sorry….
