jQuery Comment Replies 0.2

Basically, I wanted to have my comment replies hidden, and have them expand only when I clicked (what's used in this case) a div, using jQuery. So top-level comments are down, but of the comment has children (i.e. has any replies to that specific comment) they would be "folded shut". When you click the "link", they expand using jQuery easing.Yes, I am aware this is possible by using the default OL/LI listing (since the necessary class is provided), however, I'm anal-retentive when it comes to validation. My comments were using a custom display that required some interesting styling - and for something else I was using, I had to use the Strict doctype for my site - the end result was Quirks mode, making my site invalid and the other function I needed to cease working.This solved the problems. Now I have valid code (using a strict doctype) and I have all of my "cool stuff" working as it should.FeaturesThis keeps most of the default wp_list_comments features. The only difference is that the child comments will have the added "" added to it (ol and ul already have this class by default), but also have the div that provides the action to expand the replies.Otherwise, you can use anything you would normally use with wp_list_comments - callbeack features, everything - it's all there, so you can re-style however you like.This also works with pagination and level depths - if you set "3 comments per page" then 3 top-level comments will show and all replaies will display under it. if you have your depth level set to 5, then each level will have it's own show/hide link.installation : 1. Unzip the package. 2. Go into the filesystem, and rename "YOUR THEME" to the theme name you're using. 3. Upload the "jQuery-Comments.php" file to your plugins directory. You will also want to upload the "scripts" folder to your theme directory** 4. Go to "Plugins" and activate. 5. Open up your comments.php file (in the theme you are using) and replace "wp_list_comments" with "bb_list_comments". Keep any arguments you might be already using, so you don't lose your stuff.** if you already have the jquery library installed, you probably don't need this folder. I'm including the jQuery 1.3.2 library, which is required for this to work, so you probably don't want a second copy of it in your theme files (but I've renamed it, just in case - I don't want to overwrite what you already have). You will alos need to edit a few lines in the plugin (it's not that hard, I swear.): 1. scroll down to the bottom, where "function bb_add_jQuery()" is located. 2. edit this line to reflect the actual already-existing location of your jQuery library: < ?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/jquery/jquery132.js 3. Save, and upload as usual
