Membuat Threaded Comment (Komentar Bercabang) di Blogspot

Saat ini, Blogger/Blogspot sudah melakukan banyak improvisasi dengan penambahan berbagai fitur yang dulu tidak ada di blog blogspot. Namun, ada satu fitur yang sebenarnya aku sukai, namun belum diakomodasi oleh Blogger, yakni threaded comment alias komen bertingkat, dimana kita bisa langsung membalas komen yang masuk, tepat di bawahnya.

Beruntung aku menemukan blog Shams Mahmood yang memberikan panduan lengkap tentang bagaimana membuat komen bertingkat atau threaded comment.

Adapun dalam tutorial tersebut, kita nantinya akan dapat :

membalas komentar sampai kedalaman beberapa tingkat
memberi warna background berbeda untuk komentar pemilik blog
menyembunyikan/menampilkan komentar

Bagaimana cara membuat comment threading ? Simak panduannya berikut ini. Sebelumnya pastikan anda membackup template lama anda.

1. Cari tag <b:skin> dan Kopi file javascript berikut di atasnya :

2. Kopi kode css berikut di bawah tag <b:skin>

.comment-segment {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.comment-level-0 {
margin-left: 10px;
}
.comment-level-1 {
margin-left: 25px;
}
.comment-level-2 {
margin-left: 40px;
}
.comment-level-3 {
margin-left: 55px;
}
.comment-level-gt3 {
margin-left: 70px;
}
.blog-author-comment {
background-color: #F0F0BE;
border: 1px solid #FFFF99;
}
.blog-nonauthor-comment {
background-color: #B4C8F0;
border: 1px solid #7296E2;
}
.deleted-comment {
color: gray; font-STYLE: italic
}
.delete-comment-icon {
background: url("http://www.blogblog.com/rounders3/icon_delete13.gif")
no-repeat;
}
.comment-time {
font-size: 80%;
margin: inherit;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.reply-guide {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: #076a93 1px dotted;
display: none;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-bottom: 0.75em;
padding-top: 5px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.reply-guide-header {
color: #076a93;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.reply-guide-list {
list-style: none;
padding-left: 2px;
margin-left: 2px;
}
.reply-guide-example {
font-size: 85%;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float: right;
border: 1px dotted #076a93;
padding: 5 5 5 5;
}

3. Cari kode di template anda yang menampikan komen. Di template yang aku pakai, dan mungkin di kebanyakan template, kode tersebut kira-kira begini :

<b:includable id='comments' var='post'>
<div class='comments' id='comments'>
...
</div>
</b:includable>

Dan gantikan kode tersebut dengan kode yang akan membuat komentar mempunyai link untuk langsung membalas (comment threading) langsung di bawahnya. berikut kodenya :

<b:includable id='comments' var='post'>
<div class='comments' id='comments'>
<a name='comments'/>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<h4>
<b:if cond='data:post.numComments == 1'> 1 <data:commentLabel/>:
<b:else/><data:post.numComments/><data:commentLabelPlural/>:
</b:if>
</h4>

<b:if cond='data:post.numComments > 0'>

<p class='comment-footer'>
<b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'>
<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
<b:else/>
<b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
<a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl'
expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
</b:if>
</b:if>
</p>
</b:if>


<b:loop values='data:post.comments' var='comment'>
<div style="display: none;" expr:id='"comment-body-" + data:comment.id' >
<data:comment.body/>
</div>
</b:loop>

<script type="text/javascript">
// USE THIS if YOU Have multiple Authors adding them in a comma separated form after removing the '//' from the next line

4. Ganti profil author :

* Jika blog anda punya beberapa penulis

var BLOG_AUTHORS =
['http://www.blogger.com/profile/firstauthor',
'http://www.blogger.com/profile/otherauthor'];

* atau jika hanya anda satu-satunya penulis =

var BLOG_AUTHOR = 'http://www.blogger.com/profile/onlyauthor';

dengan profil blogger anda sehingga nantinya komentar anda atau penulis artikel akan mempunyai background warna yang berbeda dengan komentar pengunjung lain. Lihat di profil blogger anda. Contohnya profilku adalah http://www.blogger.com/profile/01192650621511787382
