I have finally completed the code for CommentLuv 1.0

phew! I had a mammoth amount of work to do this week but I got a few hours out of nowhere and I’ve managed to get it stable with these features:

  • Options page where you can change
    • Text displayed under the comment box
    • Text used within the comment
      can choose to show name , site and last blog post
    • Choose to enable CommentLuv by default
    • Add styling to last blog post text
  • Uses an external script to do the fetching
    This means that the magpie library included with wordpress doesn’t get used. Instead I try to curl a page I host on my dedicated server which outputs the last post link. If curl isn’t enabled, it tries to fetch it another way. This way I can keep the most up to date fetching routine on my server and when I update that, all people using commentluv will use the most up to date routine

I will be adding AJAX to it later but for now it is working quite stable, I need to run it on here for a few days to make sure it can behave well and then I’ll package it for a 1.0 release and put ajax in for the 1.5 release…

please feel free to make a comment and test it out for me…. thanks!
