Change Quip error/preview behavior

I’m taking Quip for a spin for the first time and, after carefully reading the docs, have a simple question: How do I keep the content of a post visible on the page when a comment is being previewed/errored out?

Thanks.

Revo or Evo ?

I’ve used Quip with Revo. It seems to me that what you are describing is the default behavior - at least I don’t remember going out of my way to get it.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you want.

If you post your QuipReply call we could see what you are doing

Revolution 2.0.7-pl Traditional.

Here are my snippet calls:

[[!Quip?
  &thread=`main`
  &threading=`0`
  &allowReportAsSpam=`0`
  &useGravatar=`0`
  &tplComment=`blog_comment_tpl`
  ]]

[[!QuipReply? 
  &thread=`main`
  &moderate=`1`
  &moderatorGroup=`Moderators`
  &tplAddComment=`blog_reply_tpl`
  ]]

If a message is entered, but no other fields are filled out, the blog entry will disappear from the page, leaving only the error/preview/form. Oddly enough, it behaves correctly - the blog entry remains present - if all fields are left blank.

Sorry I should said the call and any templates you are using- you are using a custom template perhaps the is something wrong with it - try it without the custom template and see if it works.

your call looks fine to me - I’m using basically the same, just a few different parameters

[[!Quip? &thread=`[[!get? &getname=`thread`]]` &dateFormat=`%b %d, %Y` &closeAfter=`0` &useGravatar=`0` &sortDir=`ASC` ]]

Removing my custom TPL didn’t change anything, but I did find out where the problem is - my CSS. Examining the source code, I find that the blog post is, in fact, still there - I just can’t see it because of a layout issue, probably with my columns vs. the preview chunk. I will get to work on it from that angle - thanks for your help.
