Question

good evening.
Do you suggest a script that shows a random comment of my blog, created with bloggers?
thank you

Answer 1

That should be possible to generate using the global comment feed provided by Blogger -
http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
A working snippet for the same would look like -
<div id='stylify_random_comments'></div>
<script style='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
var commentTitleOriginal, myLink, myDiv, myImage;
var main;
function getcomment(json) {
var s;
var entry = json.feed.entry[0];
var commentTitle = entry.title.$t;
commentTitleOriginal = commentTitle;
if (isNaN(titleLength) || titleLength == 0) {
commentTitle = '';
} else if (commentTitle.length > titleLength) commentTitle = commentTitle.substring(0, titleLength) + "...";
var commentUrl;
for (var k = 0; k < entry.link.length; k++) {
if (entry.link[k].rel == 'replies' && entry.link[k].type == 'text/html') {
var commentText = entry.link[k].title;
var commentUrl = entry.link[k].href;
}
if (entry.link[k].rel == 'alternate') {
commentUrl = entry.link[k].href;
break;
}
}
if (showThumbs == true) {
var thumbUrl = "";
try {
thumbUrl = entry.author["0"].gd$image.src;
if (imgDim == "80" || imgDim == "85" || imgDim == "90" || imgDim == "95" || imgDim == "100") thumbUrl = thumbUrl.replace("/s72-c/", "/s104-c/");
} catch (error) {
if ("content" in entry) s = entry.content.$t;
else s = "";
if (thumbUrl == "" && mediaThumbsOnly == false) {
a = s.indexOf("<img");
b = s.indexOf("src=\"", a);
c = s.indexOf("\"", b + 5);
d = s.substr(b + 5, c - b - 5);
if ((a != -1) && (b != -1) && (c != -1) && (d != "")) thumbUrl = d;
}
