How can I show multiple hashover comment areas on one page?

[Dave Chambers]

Hi.

I really like hashover.

Is it possible to have multiple hashover comment areas on one page, for example if I am showing many blog articles at a single URL, say mysite.com/blog, can I have a hashover area beneath each post and have the comments written to 'blog/somePostID/1.xml' etc.

Thanks in advance

No, for simple fixable reasons, but no.

Mainly, HashOver uses specific element IDs, like hashover, and for comment permalinks c1 and c1r1, for example. So you could place multiple HashOver script tags on the same page using different URLs, but HashOver would use the same div tag for each, overriding each comment form and thread.

Like I said, it's simple to fix (by appending the script number to the relevant elements), but in general this is going to be implemented in a much more efficient way soon, allowing for a single HashOver instance to place all of the comment threads. So look out for that.

Multiple comment threads per page is now implemented in HashOver 2.0.
