[Solved] Can't change the default template

[Nandee]

Okay it looks better just there is a huge space under the comments which gets bigger every second. You can see it for yourself here: http://www.gamevideos.hu/video/player/11/20. Can you please tell me how can I stop it? I'd also like to ask you whether it is possible to make the buttons before the textarea also appear like on the demo page (http://demo.gavick.com/joomla15/jul2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78:assassins-creed-2&catid=37:demo-articles&Itemid=59#comments).

Those are input fields, not buttons.

[BBC]

OK, i see now.
You have not activated all that you want your visitors can use in:
settings-permissions.

Different elements.

[Nandee]

Well, thank you BBC, the buttons are okay now. However this is not the real problem. Under the JComments area, there is a huge empty space and it keeps getting bigger as you stay on the page (http://www.gamevideos.hu/video/player/11/20). It is really strange for me. Can anyone help me to stop this? Thanks in advance.

It´s not Jcomments doing this, i think.

Go in your admin panel and disable plugins (not Joomla native) one after one, empty cache and make hard reset of browser and see what plugin is making this. This is some javascript.

When you find that plugin (or module) write it here.

[BBC]

When you disable one plugin and see there is no difference (same problem), go and enable plugin directly after test. Then go and disable another plugin (or module).

[BBC]

I believe it is videoshare autoHeight.js script making this.
Check at developer site if it is some update of the script. Or at developers support forum if someone had same problem.

[Nandee]

I'll ask them also, but this problem only exists since I made those modifications to the HDVideoShare source, so I must have done something wrong.

[BBC]

Test it allways localy before you go "live".

And use Dreamveawer. It has some nice "Undo" option in case you do something wrong.

It saves a lot of time when you test something new.


I never tested it with videoshare extension, so i can´t say more.

Use Winmerge and compare default videoshare folder with your customized folder and check if you missed something.

Maybe deleted something from videoshare code, or commented out something that should not be commented.

I've only changed the code of one file, and I saved the original to my computer so that's no problem. If I upload the original file, this problem disappears, but I can't use the gk_style template.

[BBC]

Where did you find info how to integrate Jcomments in that videoshare extension ?
I don´t see it here at forum.

Can you attach here both original file and customized file ?

[Nandee]

Try to read this topic again. The problem is not with the integration, it is with the HDVideoShare extension, because it loads the default JComments template. You can see the modifications I've made in smart's post on the first page of the topic. I only did what smart suggested.

[BBC]

I meant code for integration of Jcomments in videoshare. Never mind.

This code from Smart cannot byself make those repeating empty spaces. Some coding mistake has to be in some JS/PHP file.

[Nandee]

I don't know but the fact is that this space only keeps getting bigger with these modifications to the default.php file. If I replace the modified file with the original one, this problem is gone (but also the default JComments template loads instead of GavickPro's gk_style). I'll submit a ticket on HDVideoShare's website and see what they say.

[BBC]

I cannot download extension. Their website is down.
Smart will for sure fix it when he comes back to forum.
