Hello all. I have almost completed my recipe project and am now again at a stage of implementing the comments and comments rating system. From my past notes of NowKnow I am able to make the custom form using the API sample here however I had no need to allow rating the comments and eventually use the comments to rate the recipe. Now I decided to try to implement the comments system by the standard way of rendering them. For the purpose I created a field 'comments' and assigned it to my recipes_inner template. After adding a feew comments I was able to see them in the page as well as the form to add a few new. So this proved that the setup works and now I am at a stage of applying my custom styles to make the comments and the submission form appear properly. So reading any posts in regards to that matter i got a bit confused as to should I make a copy of the fieldtypecomment in my site/modules folder and apply the modifications directly there, or use some of the arguments provided here . As far as I am not in a need of some heavy modifications of the code, other than applying my styles, would it be possible to apply all my classes via the arguments or it would still make more sense to edit the code of the module to make the changes there? I am facing a few strange issues with the stars rating and comments votes: 1. When I mouse over to the stars, I am shown a number field above them with the chance to select a number from 1 to 5 instead of just hovering to the stars to set the rating. 2. When I select the rating to 0 using the down arrow and then try to go lower than 0, I get a message: Automatic Credit Card filing is disabled because this form does not use a secure connection 3. If I click on the comment voting buttons (up/down arrows) the number does not increase or decrease other than bringing me to the comment posting form. At first I thought I am doing something wrong, but I do not have anywhere in my code the error about the credit card, so smth. else is happening. Would a behavior of point 1, 2 or 3 be normal for the out-of-the box module installation and my calls: <div class="recipe-comments"> <?php $count = count($page->comments); // Count the comments number echo $page->comments->render(array( 'headline' => '<h3 class="lined">There are (' . $count . ') opinions about this recipe</h3>', 'commentHeader' => '<h5><a href="#">{cite}</a></h5><span class="time">({created})</span> {stars} {votes}', )); ?> </div> <div class="comment-form"> <?php echo $page->comments->renderForm() ?> </div> Besides that, what would you consider best option of applying my custom styles, as I don't see a way to provide any arguments for styling the comment appearance (other than the one for the comments posting) ?
