Comments, Add Comment, Open the form and the comments are all centered on my web pages. However, I can't get the "No comments yet" to center. The suggestions on the forum regarding centering elements have not solved my problem. When I added text-align: center to .cmtx_no_commentx_text in the css file, the "No comments yet" still stays on the left side of the page. If I add other variables such as changing the font color, the changes work.


I believe I'm using version 2.3.

Thanks for you help.

Hi Jim,

You'll need to change the HTML from a span to a div in the template file. In /comments/includes/template/comments.php, change this (line 304):

PHP Code:

<?php 

echo "<span class='cmtx_no_comments_text'>";

echo CMTX_NO_COMMENTS;

echo "</span>";

Thank you, Steven. The change worked perfectly. I appreciate your help.

Could you tell me why a span was used for the cmtx_no_comments_text but wasn't used with cmtx_comments_heading or cmtx_form_heading.

Thanks again. Commentics is a great program.

Probably because a <span> tag is more semantic for a piece of text than a <div>, but <span> has the disadvantage that it's not a block level element so it can't be positioned properly.

cmtx_comments_heading and cmtx_form_heading use <h3> tags because that's the best and most appropriate tag for headings and is block level so can be positioned fine.
