Hi all,

I need to create a collapsing/expanding comment field. What I need is a link inside a completed comment that expands the comment box to its full size when you click on the "read more" link.
Once the full comment is displayed, I need to have a corresponding "read less" link. If possible I would like to have a "reply link inside the comment box.

The reason I need to do this is that I have expanded the comments field to 5000 characters to allow more of a review type comment.

thanks for any help.

Hi,

I will see if I can add this for the next version.

Thanks Steven

Just wondering, do you have estimated date for the next release?

[Steven]

I'm not sure at the moment. I'm going into hospital tomorrow for a couple of weeks. After I get back there are a few things that I need to add to the script. It might be the end of October at the earliest.

Thanks Steven,

I hope whatever you are having done works out ok for you.

Take care and I wish you all the best.

Hi,

I'm working on this feature at the moment but it's a little more difficult than I thought.

The problem is that at some point in the comment, let's say 300 characters, a div needs to be inserted to initially hide the remaining part of the comment. As Commentics uses BB Code and Smilies, that div might be inserted into the middle of a HTML tag like an image or a bullet list etc, which would break the comment and even affect the rest of the page.
