So far I'm really enjoying my Geeklog system, but I would like to make the change so that the comments on a post appear as nested as default, instead of threaded, so they are easily visible on each post. Is there any way to do that?

Configuration > Geeklog > Users and Submissions > Comments > Comment Mode

Note that the user's preferences (under My Account) can override this.

Thanks for the help, but this must be why I'm such a dummy... I can't find a tab, icon, heading or anything for configuration. Should it be in the "Geeklog 1.4.1 -- Command and Control" panel or somewhere else?

Sorry, I was assuming Geeklog 1.5.0 :-)

In earlier versions, that option is in config.php:

Changing that setting works in so far as the first comment will appear, but any replies to it are still hidden behind a click. Any way to fix that?

Did you change it to "nested" (not 'threaded', as quoted above)?

bye, Dirk

This is what I have.


Yet if you look here: http://vglosers.dirtmound.com/article.php?story=20080725083633338 you'll see that the first comment is showing but the reply to it is still hidden behind a link.

(also, can you point me in the direction of a FAQ or walkthough of how to upgrade Geeklog to the newest version without losing any data?)

Shows up as "nested" for me (i.e. I see both comments).

As mentioned above: The settings in "My Account" will override the global setting. My guess is that you have it set to "threaded" there.


Upgrading instructions are included with Geeklog of course (in the "docs" directory).
