To change the style... 

The write comment style (or read on) is composed with a css "write_comment" class (from the joomlacomment template) and the standard "readon" (from your joomla template).

To change the style you just have to use the following form of css instruction :

  • .write_comment { ... }

  • .write_comment a.readon { ... }

Add those lines in the joomlacomment template css file (customize your template ) OR directly in your joomla template css file. It should be better to add them after the existing "readon" lines.

Anothers 2 possibilities (first is the best) : 


  • change the text of the readon in the joomlacomment language file (components/ com_comment/ joscomment/ language). The text is
    • _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_0    for Read on when 0 coments
    • _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_1    for Read on when only one comment
    • _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_2_4 for Read on when 2 to 4 comments
    • _JOOMLACOMMENT_COMMENTS_MORE  for Read on when more than 4 comments
    • !! so much text can seems foolish for languages as english, french,.... but is important for others languages as romanian,... Word is not the same, depending on number of the object.
