Always Show Create Comment Form

[JMKelley]

Love the gem.

But currently there is no option to show the 'add comment form' automatically when the page loads. Always have to click 'New Comment' to fetch the form, would love it if there was a config option to do this.

At the moment after digging around in the files I've had to do a botch job of copying the HTML there and displaying it on the page without commontator running it.

You should be able to do this with just CSS. The default is:

.thread_new_comment {
  display: none;
}

.thread_new_comment_link {
  display: block;
}

Swap those and you should be good.

I will try this out - thanks!

Few notes

After close inspection, it looks like it's dynamically inserting the Div when you click "new comment", would the fix you suggested automatically display the div?

Thanks again!

Oh you are right. Although the div is there, it has no content until comments/new.js.erb runs.

I guess I'll add a config for that on the next version.

Brilliant - thanks a lot! Any eta? Love the gem and don't want to switch it out!

Keep up the great work.

Just released version 4.9.0. Give it a try (make sure to reset any style and view changes done to Commontator).

[Dantemss]

Oh and I forgot to tell you: there's a new option called new_comment_style that you can specify in the config file.

Thanks a lot for this - it's much appreciated!
