Thread

We currently allow people to comment without registering. We would like to display the comments of registered users in a different font color than the comments of unregistered users. I’ve looked at http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/comment/entries.html and don’t see any conditional that would let me differentiate the two types of comments, but I thought I would ask here. Thanks!

I believe the {author_id} is what you are looking for.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Hiya,

I could be wrong on this one but I think that if you allow anonymous comments to be posted then because the user doesn’t have an account their author_id for that comment will equal 0. You may be able to use that in a conditional to do what you want?

Something like :

{if author_id == "0"}
This comment was made by someone without an account
{if:else}
Standard comments code
{/if}

Not tested but I think it would work?

Best wishes,

Mark

These posts solved my problem - I just wasn’t reading the manual closely enough. Thanks!

No problem.

Let us know if you need anything else.
