For those of you who have looked at Reddit's source code, where exactly is the logic where it manages the comments hierarchial structure? I downloaded the code, but couldn't even find the database structure let alone where the reads and writes are for the commenting. Is it doing updates on lots of comments if someone replies to someone...
Whats the 7n5lu in the reddit URL http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7n5lu/man_can_fly_if_you_watch_one_video_in_2 how is it generated? update: @Gerald, Thanks for the code. I initially thought this is some obfuscation of the id. But, it is just doing the conversion from integer to a more compact representation. I am thinkin...
I'm wondering if someone has already built a system for threaded comments (for lack of a better term) in Rails or if I need to build it myself. In case it's not clear, what I'm referring to is a comment system like Reddit's that automatically indents replies so that they appear like branches of a tree (preferably with voting just as Re...
I want to represent threaded comments in Java. This would look similar to the way comments are threaded on reddit.com hello hello hello hello hello hello hello As in the example above, responses are nested in the HTML with appropriate indentation to reflect their relationship to prior comments. What would b...
I saw a PyCon09 keynote presentation (slides: http://www.slideshare.net/kn0thing/ride-the-snake-reddit-keynote-pycon-09?c55) given by the reddit guys, and in it they mention a CSS compiler called C55. They said it would be open sourced soon. It looks cool - does anyone have more information about how it works, why they created it (aside ...
I am trying to integrate vote-up-buttons similar as in Reddit to Google Moderator. However, Google Moderator does not give me Shell access. This suggests me that the only way is to use Vote-up-buttons from an external server set by iframes. I would like to know How can you can assign Iframe_A to a question in Google Moderator? How c...
I have a Drupal site that currently displays comments in threaded, reverse chronological order. I am trying to change it to work like Reddit/Hacker News, where the threads and comments within each thread are instead ordered by their current score, based on a voting system I've added. I've found the query used to render the comments rig...
I am considering to write an application that would covert the comments in reddit threads (example) to emails. The idea is to parse the reddit json data (example) and send new comments as plain EMails to subscribed users. One of the users can be gmane, so you can also read the comments over there. The motivation for writing this tool is ...
I am trying to read data from an RSS feed which has 25 items. When I request the RSS file through HTTP it says there are only 20 items. function test($location) { $doc = new DomDocument(); $doc->load($location); $items = $doc->getElementsByTagName('item'); return $items->length; } // Prints 20 echo test('http://www.red...

Hi, The following is my first cut at coding-up a reddit-like comment in html+css. I have a few questions about css and the general structure: How do I get the comment body ("The King took off his hat...") to align with the comment head ("Nathan, posted...") and the comment tail ("reply permalink ...")? I tried making the margin-bottom ...
I'm using Solr for search. I have documents that have an integer field "popularity". I want to rank results by a combination of normal fulltext search relevance and popularity. It's kinda like search in digg - result ranking is based on the search relevance as well as how many digs a posting has. I don't have any specific ranking a...
I was curious and downloaded the code but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I thought I might find a database table with user ids mapped to link ids or comment ids. But I can't seem to find anything like this. ...
I really like the way Reddit's comment system works - particulary the ability to smoothly fold/unfold a tree of comments. Is there some standard JavaScript code/library that does this? Or did Reddit develop this inhouse and is not portable? I'm fairly a beginner in JS, so browsing through Reddit's page source is not that helpful. ...
