comment count & icon browse

[delphinapterus]

I don't really know much about programming css so hopefully these will make sense.

1. The page summary sidebar on LJ would give me [#] after the title of the post to show how many comments had been made on that post. Is there a way to do this in DW? The style I'm using now is crossroads if that makes a difference. [Solved]

2. One some posts when I comment there is an option to preview my icons to select from a pop up that has them as thumbnails which I really liked. However, on other posts this option isn't available. Is that because of the journal style being used? Why is it there some times and not others? [Solved]

Finally remembered how to get #1 to work as you want. Go to the Modules section of the Customization page and find the Page Summary module. Where it says Comment count as tooltip , uncheck the ticky box and save changes. That will give you the comment count next to the entry link.

Let me know if you need more help. :D

Thank you! That's got the comment count coming up as +#.

[auroraprimavera]

Yeah, that's how it shows up on mine as well. I'm not sure if it can be changed - did you want the [#] instead?

As long as I can see the comment count for the posts that's all I'm really concerned about - the rest is just style. Ideally the comment count in the page summary would link directly to the comments on each entry but that's really not a big issue for me. I"m just happy to have the comment count available to me.

Awesome :D And that's not a bad idea, I'm not sure if it's been suggested, but if not, you might try submitting it to see what happens.

I have the linked comment count on lj and it's quite handy. I checked dw_suggestions and there is already a suggestion for it although the description on it is a little convoluted and it's from Nov 2009 so I don't know if that means I should resubmit it.

[auroraprimavera]

Hm, I'm not sure how that would work. I've asked - once I get a response, I'll let you know. :D

[auroraprimavera]

Okay, here's your answer: The suggestion was actually moved to Bugzilla, which means that when someone has a chance to work on it, it will be implemented. So no resubmit necessary. :D

[delphinapterus]

Awesome. Thanks for tracking the info down for me.

[auroraprimavera]

No problem! :D
