Does anyone know if it's possible to use JComments styling from another template?
For example, I am using the Crystalline template which doesn't come with JComments. Let's say I wanted to install JComments but I wanted to use the JComments styling that comes with the Dominion template. Is this possible? Is a matter of copying the files over?
If this is the case, what would be the correct steps to doe this?
If anyone could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,

Hi Matt,
Yeah it's pretty easily done. Find where the styling is coming from for Jcomments in Dominion. Most of them are in the individual style css. i.e. style6.css
Copy could copy whatever one suits into your crytalline css. Make a note of what image files you need to bring over as well and make sure you change the paths to the images.
But a better solution would be to create a custom css file, and then add it there instead of the templates css file. Use Arifin's tutorial so that Gantry knows where to look for it as well. That way you don't have to worry about upgrading your crystalline template.
You should probably also check the browser specific css files in dominion to see if any changes need to be made. The CSS Files are pretty well documented so you can look for any references to /* JComments */
Other than that, it's a matter of trial and error to get them looking the way you want.
Hope it helps.
