Just upgraded one of my themes (the only one I’m still using that I can truly say I’ve created myself) to finally utilize WordPress 2.7’s new comment listing function<\/a>. This made separating actual comments from pings<\/a> a breeze compared to what it used to be.<\/p>\n

The only slight problem was with porting the old separation of every other comment with a different class; since I needed to use a custom callback to retain the old look, I couldn’t utilize the automated classification done by wp_list_comments()<\/code>. In the end all it took was these three lines added to my callback function:<\/p>\n

\n
global $comment_alt;\n$oddcomment = $comment_alt % 2 ? 'alt' : '';\n$comment_alt++;<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
With these in place I could now bring in the <li> tag from the old template without any further tweaking:<\/p>\n
\n
<li id=\"comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>\"\nclass=\"<?php echo $oddcomment?>\"><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
