How to highlight an administrator's comment?

[KiusteR]

I really need help to... (how do you say) HIGHLIGHT de admin comments. I mean... when visitors see the comments, can distinguish comments from others visitors to the comments of the manager.

Good com

At current version it could be implemented via small hack.

Open /components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php and replace code (twice):

Code: (php)

."\n, v.value as voted"
."\nFROM #__jcomments AS c"
."\nLEFT JOIN #__jcomments_votes AS v ON c.id = v.commentid " . ( $my->id ? " AND  v.userid = ".$my->id : " AND  v.ip = '".$acl->getUserIP() . "'" )

with

Code: (php)

."\n, v.value as voted"
."\n, case when c.userid = 0 then 'guest' else replace(lower(u.usertype), ' ', '-') end as usertype"
."\nFROM #__jcomments AS c"
."\nLEFT JOIN #__jcomments_votes AS v ON c.id = v.commentid " . ( $my->id ? " AND  v.userid = ".$my->id : " AND  v.ip = '".$acl->getUserIP() . "'" )
."\nLEFT JOIN #__users AS u ON c.userid = u.id"

And after that you need edit template: /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php:

Add after line:

Code: (php)

$commentBoxIndentStyle = ($this->getVar('avatar') == 1) ? ' avatar-indent' : '';

next code:

Code: (php)

if (isset($comment->usertype)) {
$commentBoxIndentStyle .= ' usertype-' . $comment->usertype;
}

After that all your comments will have additional style like: usertype-guest, usertype-registered, ..., usertype-administrator, usertype-super-administrator

It is very strange because same modification installed on demo.joomlatune.com and I can see that it working:

Code:

<div class="comment-box avatar-indent usertype-super-administrator">

If you want I can send you upcoming version where is this modification already applied.
