For The Love Of Commentators – My PluginTuesday, December 16th |
Well as you might know from yesterdays post, I created a nice little plugin. However, I found there was a niggling little issue with it which screwed up the home page. I managed to find what it was that was going wrong (to do with database access), and now it is all fixed, and ready to be used! If you’d like to know more about the plugin, check out yesterdays’ post, which describes exactly what it does. If you simply want to download it, you can do so here.
To view the plugin (and its output), head to the settings part of your wordpress admin panel, and choose ‘FTLO Commentators’.
Hope you guys get some use out of this, and let me know what improvements you might like to see!

Hey, cheers, hope it works ok for you
Its a bit tricky to start with – depends if your any good with php coding. If your ok writing software in php, its not too hard to grip writing the plugin.

Nice job. I like the idea of aliases, as well, but I’m having a bit of a problem with it. My second highest entry is built like this:
# of posts – “Dan” but linked to the FTLOC options page – a list of a huge number of aliases, including everyone commenter who didn’t use a URL plus a lot of spam authors (none of whom were actually approved, I believe).
That’s the biggest problem I ran across. The other thing I have is a suggestion. You might want to equate URLs with and without “www” (so caddicks.com would simply count in as http://www.caddicks.com, for example). I know I have a couple commenters who have two entries in your results because in a few posts they used www, and in others they didn’t.

Hmmm, very interesting points you raise there, I’ll have to look into it’s workings a bit more. Any chance you could send me an email with a screenshot of the page? It just helps to have a visual image of what is happening…if that is ok by you?

I think I found a fix for Jeffs problem with in the code. Just needed to play around with it a bit. The problems was caused by the layout.
Thanks for a great plugin!
