European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch - 15 May | 124 comments (124 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

Oh, and I think what In Wales means by the header standing out on the front page is the top part above the fold. It has been pointed out in discussions that the previous above-the-fold bit didn't explain to the uninitiated what the Salon was about. Site regulars knew, but there was little incentive for a lurker or newcomer looking at the front page to click on Read more. This may explain why some critics at least felt that the Salon (an excellent feature) was for the ET initiated only.

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

oh i thought you meant the banner at the beginning of each new section.

as for the c & p part, couldn't a template take care of that?

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

I don't think there's a way of automating the copy-paste. The section headers are top-level comments in the thread. The People and Klatsch section we're in now, for example, is headed by comment

http://www.eurotrib.com/comments/2009/5/9/12218/40958/7

If you wrote a macro introducing the http://www.eurotrib.com/comments/ bit which is invariable, you would still have to copy-paste the variable part 2009/5/9/12218/40958/7. It's attributed by Scoop when the comment is posted and can't be known in advance.

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 1)

someone has a bright idea above that cancels what I said. It's good having real techies around.
