Comment system help

CaioCaio ✭
edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I need help with the comment system. On my site, Apple Monster, I am using the comment system self hosted. It is Wordpress, but the comment system has a ridicously big iframe. I was wondering if there was a way to fix this and make it self expanding like Cult of Mac's without using the script (I can't code javascript, I tried to learn but couldn't). If there isn't, can someone help me with the script to post to the forum like the plugin?

    The vanilla embed plugin makes it a bit smaller, but doesn't make it the correct size. I was hoping I didn't have to use this plugin because every plugin make the site slower

    Looks cool... Can you post pic of what you WANT it to look like

    I want it to look like http://www.freeimagehosting.net/6w3e1, not http://www.freeimagehosting.net/hirex as top and http://www.freeimagehosting.net/pckko as bottom combined.

    Clear as mud, please use image tags when posting image, just click the landscape icon on a post.

    You want to close the vanilla logo up to underneath your comment box!

    Ok thank you for the info, didn't notice the image tag.
    And no, make the iframe smaller. If that's what you meant, sorry didn't understand.

  • 422422 MVP

    Your iframe is set to a height of 1000px

    change to 100%

    eg.
    iframe id="vanilla92329" width="100%" scrolling="no" height="100%"

    didn't work, the submit button became hidden Edit: I mean the box became so small, the button was gone.

  • 422422 MVP

    try this:

    there are two places to change height:

    < iframe id="vanilla1727" width="100%" scrolling="no" height="300px" name="vanilla1727" src="http://forums.applemonster.co/index.php?p=/vanilla/discussion/embed/?vanilla_discussion_id=0&amp;vanilla_identifier=51&amp;vanilla_type=page&amp;vanilla_name=&amp;vanilla_url=http://www.applemonster.co/2012/04/10/how-to-delete-your-instagram-account/&amp;vanilla_body=&amp;vanilla_category_id=2" style="width: 100%; border: 0pt none; display: block; height: 300px;" >

    Sorry if i'm bothering you, but now it doesn't self expand anymore

  • 422422 MVP

    did you embed this yourself, or is this STOCK from vanilla...

    Because your comments ( replies ) are outside of the iframe... it appears... the iframe itself doesnt look like it is constructed properly.

    I got it from the Wordpress plugin by Vanilla

    I may be totally off base but you have this
<textarea class="TextBox" cols="100" rows="6" name="Comment/Body" id="Form_Body" style="overflow: hidden; display: block;"></textarea>

change the rows to 4, also possibly change the lineheight for the text box

    Peregrine, didn't work

  • peregrineperegrine MVP

    you changed the css or the html somewhere - where? Is there a statement that you can find that sets the rows.

    I didn't change it to go live, I just changed it with firebug.

    well! there you go. It won't show in firebug. It's not css - its hard coded into your form html isn't it.

    i'm afraid I'm not following you. Why doesn't it show in firebug? Also, how do I edit it?

    Aren't you changing css characteristics in firebug. You are not changing hardcoded html I don't believe firebug can change the rows properly - also sometimes there is a problem in fire bug with frames. your choice to see if it works - change the html or don't, it doesn't matter to me.

    I tried it with both firebug and built in firefox inspector and neither worked

  • 422422 MVP

    Mate.

    Firebog makes changes LOCAL to you ONLY !

    To see REMOTE changes you need to edit the actual files, and re upload them to your server, so that they may take effect
