Comment Goodness indented boxes (lines) and re-arranged reply/edit/etc. buttons, all vanish. Change themes to Bartik and all ok. Many other themes don't work with Comment Goodness.

Anybody got any ideas? My whole site is set up on AT Commerce and I don't want to change theme but then can't have basic looking hard-to-follow comment threads either. I found a video that said I could add a template TPL file to the AT Commerce theme to change the theme of a field or box or any other element. Tried copying the Bartik theme tpl file over for comment but didn't work, even after clearing cache. Also tried the wonderful advice from this video: http://lin-clark.com/blog/intro-drupal-7-theming-fields-and-nodes-templates but still couldnt get there. Must be close I reckon!

Any help or pointers gratefully received. :)

Thanks

I'll take a quick look, not really sure why it doesn't work with this theme, could be a fundamental flaw in the module because this theme is not really doing anything outrageous with comment templates.

This is really a feature request and should in the first instance be against the latest version.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it. I am using 7.x-2.0-rc3. Tried latest 3.0 but screen layout (blocks) got lost and went weird after upgrade, and the problem with the comments was the same as with 2.0-rc3. Probably something simple but am up against the line right now to get site live, so I downgraded again. When I get more time, I can try again and report back on that if helpful?

Sure, don't upgrade mid build is what I normally say, unless there are features you can't live without.

Now - this problem is caused by comment goodness module using a bespoke template, so any theme that overrides the comment-wrapper.tpl.php template won't work with this module - really this should be documented by the module as almost every HTML5 theme will override this template.

The fix is pretty strait forward, just use the template I have attached here in your subtheme and, afaict, it should work OK - I have ported the comment goodness template to AT.

Just gave it a try and it didn't work for me. Wonder if I put it in wrong folder? I put it in AT Commerce theme Templates folder. Didn't work so put it in AT Commerce Theme folder. Cleared cache each time. :( Must be some other setting or location? With your template, I must be close now!? Any thoughts?

Many thanks
