Question

Hi,

When i use comment plugin without any parameters, the comments are posted without a bullet, but when I use the parameter type=top, a bullet appears before the comment. How can I disable this ?

Please help. Thanks a lot.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Take a look at CommentPluginTemplate and UserCommentsTemplate within your own installation for definitions of the "top" template. The distributed top comment template does not have a bullet (unlike bulletabove which does) but perhaps yours has been modified locally. If you have questions about the formatting of comment templates, see CommentPlugin#The_OUTPUT_template.

FYI, I have noticed the same issue with my TWiki installation (version TWiki-4.2.0), and I am sure I am using the settings as distributed, without local changes (since I'm the only user, and I downloaded and installed it only 2 weeks ago). Looking at CommentPluginTemplate, it seems that "top" (and "bottom") both use the "outputoneliner" template, which DOES use a bullet. Given LynwoodBrown's comment above, I wonder if this is the intended behavior for those templates?
