Styling the comments left by the author of a post differently - movabletype/Documentation GitHub Wiki

This is the code used on MovableType.org. It achieves two things:

  • it alternates the CSS class for odd and even comments
  • it applies an additional class to comments left by the author of the post
 <div class="comment pkg 
     comment-<mt:if name="__odd__">odd<mt:else>even</mt:if>
     <MTIfCommenterIsEntryAuthor> comment-author</mtifcommenterisentryauthor>"
     <MTIfArchiveTypeEnabled archive_type="Individual"> id="comment-<$MTCommentID$>"</mtifarchivetypeenabled>>
   <div class="inner">
     <div class="comment-meta">
       <h4 class="commenter-name">
         <$MTCommentAuthorLink default_name="Anonymous" show_email="0"$> 
         <MTIfNonEmpty tag="CommentAuthorIdentity"><$MTCommentAuthorIdentity$></mtifnonempty>
       </h4>
       <p class="byline"><a href="#comment-<$MTCommentID$>" title="Permalink to this comment"><$MTCommentDate format="%x %X"$></a> | <MTCommentReplyLink></p>
     </div>
     <div class="comment-body"> 
       <$MTCommentBody$>
     </div>
   </div>
 </div>
