Haloscan hack

Are you using Haloscan for your commenting system? Have you noticed many WAP devices (cellphones and pagers) could not access the commenting system due to the use of Javascript? Are you using Blogger/BlogSpot to run your blog? If so, you have 2 choices: one, go back to the Blogger's free commenting system, or two, make a small adjustment to the Haloscan code in your blog. I did a small hack that allow users with cell phones, sidekicks, wireless devices or WAP users to access and add comments to your Haloscan comments pages. The current javascript code blocks many mobile phones from accessing the comments pages.. Good news for you! The Haloscan's javascript can be bypassed. I added a line that will ONLY be seen on web browsers with no javascript.

All you have to do is follow the steps in the Instructions/Code section. When you get to Step 2, use the following code, but replace "YOURHALOSCANUSERID" with your Haloscan User ID:

<a href="javascript:HaloScan('<$BlogItemNumber$>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<$BlogItemNumber$>'); </script></a> | <noscript><a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/YOURHALOSCANUSERID/<$BlogItemNumber$>">mobile</a> | </noscript><a href="javascript:HaloScanTB('<$BlogItemNumber$>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCountTB('<$BlogItemNumber$>'); </script></a><noscript> | <a href="http://www.haloscan.com/tb/YOURHALOSCANUSERID/<$BlogItemNumber$>">mobile TB</a></noscript>

Click either link to see the difference between
enabled and disabled javascript pages.

To make it look more cleaner and ideal, you can also change the "mobile" and "mobile TB" to linked images as well. Enjoy the hack!

      

As for myself, I am removing Haloscan from my site because of stalking and assault incidents from my exwife's second husband. Childish people should be banned from the internet and Haloscan!
