Please visit awesome-new-update-to-commentluv-v25-out-now and see what’s new!
(it’s worth the update!)
If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may want to do a reset to default settings after installing.
please delete the old folder and upload the new one. this version changes the structure of the folders so it’s important that you upgrade with autoupdating or manually deleting and uploading the new commentluv folder.
in both cases please visit the settings page to make sure all is well. The support forum is always open for assistance

Hey Andy
#2Wow your on a roll and I love the plugin and ran it from day one.
I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and awesome attitude.
Each time I end my post with a little mini feature of a cool blogger and I had this lady in mind but as I get to install the new one I said
nah let me give this hard working young cat some love,even tho he’s British j/k so in an hour or so I hope your Google Alerts are bombing you.You deserve it and can’t wait to check the new features
I stumbled you and a few other things you will probably see
but that ain’t nothing YET watch.
I like your spirit
Peace
John Sullivan
PS did you realize most wordpress plugin developers are obnoxious arrogant jerks.So not only does everyone love your plugin you seem cool to back it up.

Ben: the prizes community thing might be very popular, I like that it can benefit all blogs using the plugin. once I get all the fandangles sorted in the back office I’ll get some more news up about it
POTPOLITICS: thanks very much for your kind words and actions, its this kind of thing that keeps me making new plugins and spending so much time making sure everyone gets it working!
Ute: that’s because you’re using feedburner redirects, if you link points to feedburner, the plugin doesn’t know where your real site is. Go to feedburner and turn off redirects so it uses your proper url that points directly to your post
#403.10.08 7:23 pm
Hi Andy,
thanks for your help – but…if I turn off my feedburner/feedsmith plugin (I need this plugin to redirect to my feedburner feed) then no feedreaders will be counted anymore.

Hi Andy!
Nice work with 2.5.3.
I don’t like to say this, but… there seems to be a little jQuery problem. It does not seem to affect the plugin working, but everytime after filling in a website and switching to the comment textarea, I get a “g is undefined (jquery.js?ver=1.2.6 – line 11)” in the Firebug console. Also, every link is – again – displayed twice in the selection box (I also described this in former versions and it was gone until now).
Funny… I also updated WP Ajax Edit Comments to 2.2.1.0 and it stopped working.
What’s going on with jQuery 1.2.6?

You’re on fire now Andy!
Thanks for your great work on this plugin!
#1306.10.08 10:48 am
byteful: it seems to work better than a black outline for sure!
marco: I think someone has reported that the latest version of ajax edit comments causes commentluv to stop working. I think it is do with ajax edit comments including it’s own version of jquery. I don’t know why it would do that instead of using the wp_enqueue command. I’ll see if I can contact him or find a workaround
#1406.10.08 11:17 am
@Andy:
Yip, someone told you that – I think it was actually me.
WP Ajax Edit Comments has been updated to include the latest jQuery 1.2.6, but it is not working on my blog. I deactivated it until the issue is solved.
Commenluv works fine except that JS error that is shown in the console – so don’t get confused: this error has nothing to do with WP Ajax Edit Comments.
Do you use Firebug for Firefox?
#15That’ll show the error in the console.
06.10.08 11:43 am
Marco: lol, I couldn’t remember who told me. I am getting tons of emails lately about commentluv so it’s hard to keep track. I just try and solve one problem or issue at a time!
I see ajax edit comments includes the jquery library from it’s own folder which kind of messes up any other jquery scripts that rely on the wp include
the g error can happen sometimes if the commentbox gets focused twice in quick sucession. this can happen because the first focus causes the ajax to fire which (for a teeny weeny time) defocuses the commentext area and trys to unbind the event but if you click for a long time (>25ms) it fires the event before the unbind can occur which makes two calls and one of them comes back in time to cause a g error
(or so I assume!)
firebug is the reason I use firefox and not chrome! I just wish firefox would not ask to update plugins or restore a session before opening the browser. and it would be nice if it asked if you wanted to save a password after you successfully log in. but that’s a whole other post!
#1606.10.08 1:06 pm
LOL
I had a look at the new WP Ajax Edit Comments: it uses wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’). Yes, there is a jquery.js in the js-folder, but I think that one isn’t being used – at least, I couldn’t find a reference to that file.
The g error does occur “sometimes”, but all the time. It is kind of interesting: I put my URI in, press tab… and there is the error (even here on your site). Also, the double appearance of the feed posts is still an issue for me. It didn’t show up twice in the prior versions. What have you changed in this current version 2.5.3, and could you please adjust it back to as it was: no g error, no double feed posts? That’d be great!
If I could only help… but unfortunately, I am a real beginner with jQuery.
Thanks for your ambition.
PS:
#17Does it come as a surprise when I say that the tooltip thingy is not working here (at this very moment)?

Hope this shows it correctly:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML…TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>\n
Sorry, won’t bother you anymore so far.
You can also delete this comment and the one before… they were just to tell you the error.
#1906.10.08 1:16 pm
marco: I didn’t get the error on your site or here that you’re talking about, it happens maybe 1 out of 50 times for me. there isn’t any difference from the last version to this for the event listener so it can’t be that.
I noticed on some blogs wpajaxeditcomments uses it’s own jquery include, I think it depends on which thing enqueues first.
I’ve contacted the author so hopefully we can work out why his is stopping mine from running
the heart info box is ok but my server has changed IP’s so it may play up for a few hours until all is settled in with the DNS and stuff
the syntax error is occuring because of wp-post-count , I guess I’ll have to disable that plugin
#2006.10.08 1:29 pm
OK, I just can’t understand why you say it just happens 1 out of 50 times… I can see it in my Firebug console EVERY time!
I will send you a screenshot.
Please do this:
1. Open the Firebug console (which should be activated).
2. Type in a URI.
3. Use the >>TAB button<< to skip to the text area.
4. DO YOU SEE A “g is undefined” NOW???
If not, I am speechless…
The error does not occur if you use the mouse to change to the text area!
#2106.10.08 2:07 pm
probably because I use the mouse to focus on the comment text area 49 times out of 50
I tried using the tab to leave the url box on this post
http://www.imnotbeautifullikeyou.com/someday-i-suppose/
and I didn’t get the g is undefined error
also on this url with no error when I tab out of the url field
http://sarcasticmom.com/im-normally-gassy-but-now-johns-at-defcon-1/
and here
http://aeropama.com/diari-malam-raya-2008-looser/
and even here on this comment when I tab to the comment text area there is no error for me
the only consistent thing in the case of your errors happening is your browser. maybe you have an addon or other script thing that is causing it…
#2206.10.08 2:15 pm
It’s a drag: I get the error on each of those sites… :’-(
I don’t know what it is… at least, the plugin is working.
Thanks for trying to find out.
Keep up the good work!
#2308.10.08 10:39 am
Hi Andy,
in /js/commentluv.js (plugin version 2.5.3), I commented out line 39 where you bind the focus handler to the text area:
// jQuery(cl_settings[3]).bind(‘focus’,cl_dostuff(cl_settings));
Now, everything seems to work fine without the “g is undefined” error!
I guess the problem is that you already assigned the .focus handler in line 26, so that there is a double request that somehow leads to this error (and shows the links twice).
Have a try.
Marco Luthe´s last blog post..Spider-Man 30 Variant-Cover-Edition (German)
#2408.10.08 11:18 am
thanks for that marco.
problem is if I take out that line and the user changes their URL it wont fire the fetch routine again.
this is because I unbind the focus event after it has fired to prevent it firing every time the comment text area is clicked.
the error doesn’t cause any invalid xhtml or freeze the program and the functionality is better with it than without. I think the majority of people who don’t have firebug installed will notice it at all.
it must be the geek in you that can’t stand to see the little red X mark down in the systray of firefox!
#2508.10.08 11:37 am
Andy,
I am so sorry… I actually forgot to mention that I filled in another command! Changes have to be made as follows:
line 39 (commented out):
// jQuery(cl_settings[3]).bind(‘focus’,cl_dostuff(cl_settings));
(new) line 40 (inserted):
cl_dostuff(cl_settings);
Without the line 40, it will – of course – not fire the request when the URI is changed.
I left the unbind, because somehow it prevents the links from being shown twice…
That way, I haven’t found any unnecessary AJAX requests.
The only thing I still wanna change geek-style is that when you type in a URI and then change via TAB the FIRST time, posts are shown twice, because I think” .change” as well as “.focus” is fired…
And… if you have registered with “www.” and you just type in your domain without that, it will not show the last 10 but only the last post.
Yeah, I admit:
LOL
#26I am a geek…
I HATE THOSE RED FIREBUG X’s!
08.10.08 1:12 pm
how about changing the if statement for the url change to add another check (line 38)
if(jQuery(‘#luv’).is(“:checked”) && jQuery(‘#cl_post’).val()!=”")
that way, it only fires for a url change if there has been something returned from the fetch previously.
I kept line 40 as
cl_dostuff(cl_settings);
and removed the bind function.
as for the www / no www thing. Wordpress redirects to a non-www if it is set in the settings as the blog URL so it’s common sense to use only the url that you have defined there for registering at commentluv and for making comments.
if I put in a check for www too in the remote script, it could mean having to search through the database twice which slows it down for everyone. shame to do that because someone can’t decide on www or not!
thanks for your feedback, I’ll put the changes in the new update (you get in the credits too!)
this will prevent it from showing two lots of posts in the select box
geeks unite!
#2708.10.08 1:38 pm
Well… actually… getting rid of the “.focus” and the “.unbind” seems to do the trick. I send you the edited file so you can do a diff.
IF YOU’RE A GEEK AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS!
LOL
#2808.10.08 1:51 pm
Damn… now it doesn’t work if your URL is already filled in (e.g. if you have a cookie or do a reload). I will now wait for your changes, I know you can do it…

danysworld: I think something is halting the jquery include because of a styling issue. try disabling the heart info box on your plugin settings page to see if that makes a difference.
#3409.10.08 2:46 pm
@Andy : I validated your comment on my blog. It’s appear something now but it does not like that it must be…There is only Commentluv and not someting like

@Andy : I put “FALSE” in the property : Choose to have CommentLuv Info box?
Does I understand correctly ?
Danysworld´s last blog post..ExpressPDF, convertir vos documents facilement!
#3709.10.08 3:06 pm
ok you did that correctly but now there is something else causing the jquery include to halt. I think it is your ajax comments plugin. you could try disabling that and seeing if commentluv works, if it does then it isn’t compatible with ajax comments on your blog
it may be your theme as other blogs I have seen that are using ajax comments work fine with commentluv.
#3809.10.08 3:10 pm
@Danysworld: I suggest validation with the W3C Validator… man, 396 Errors, 22 warning(s)…
#3909.10.08 3:42 pm
@Andy : it was because of ajax comments as you suggest to me…thanks for that. Which kind of plugin can I put to replace it?
My second question is about the heart. I re-active it at “TRUE” but when I put the mousse on it, nothing appears, I have to click on it to do so and it came in the same page…Why?
My third question : I registered on commentluv and get an ID that I put in my setting but when I go to my heart’s comment he told me that I am not a member…do I have to wait or there is a problem?
@Marco : thanks for the link…very nice to see all my errors, it makes me happy!!

#4009.10.08 4:32 pm
I think if you search on wordpress.org in the plugin section that you will find another ajax comments plugin.
I tried it out at your site and was able to get the heart box working. maybe it’s your browser?
you are not getting your site shown as member because you are using feedburner redirect links, if you hover over your link you can see it points to feedburner and not your site so it cant tell who made the comment
look here for how to turn off feedburner redirects without affecting your feed
http://www.scratch99.com/2008/02/commentluv-benefits-lost-feedburner-redirect/
hopefully that answers all your questions!
#4109.10.08 4:58 pm
Thanks a lot Andy!!
You gave me all answers that I was expecting from you! Hope I was not too much bored or freak for you!!
About heart, it because of IE7 that I use and there is no soucy with firefox.
About feedburner, I change the property and it will be ok now.
About ajax comment plugin, I asked you just in case you have some suggestion to propose because i was lost the last time to make a choice and today my choice “ajax comment” is not the best so, if you have any suggestion, I will catch it!
See u soon so and take care

Marco Luthe´s last blog post..First CommentLUV Contest About To Start
#5229.10.08 9:04 pm
if you use feedburner and commentluv doesn’t bring back the right post then it will always be feedburners fault.
there are hundreds of forum messages I have seen trying to find out why feedburner doesn’t send back the right post to scripts remotely but it’s fine for feedreaders.
feedburner don’t answer our questions on their own forums.
it’s a useful service but not without it’s faults and it’s quite a pain to my eyeball when people assume its commentluvs fault if their feedburner feed doesn’t send back the latest results. it makes me mad!!
if a script doesn’t use caching in it’s request to your feed then feedburner can sometimes send back a cached version which is sometimes days old!
if your feed is being read direct from your blog then it will always retreive the latest post.
thanks for your feedback Marco!
#5329.10.08 9:16 pm
Well, I guess one has to decide which is more important:
fresh links or the convenience that Feedburner offers.
Nevermind… I never said it was your fault!
