Commentluv is having problems!!

April
18

oh dear, I tried to move commentluv to it’s own dedicated server and I did it too quickly without thinking it through properly and now all the versions above 0.999 are having problems..

sorry if you’re here to ask why it’s posting code instead of the last blog post.

I am in the middle of an important contract so I can’t fix the problem until the middle of the week, so sorry!

I think I have the problem solved now! please let me know if v1.5 is having any issues…

    Outside of Akismet, CommentLuv is the best plugin evah! I will continue to pimp it when your issues are resolved.

    I have tested the 1.5 on my site and it is working fine. Thanks for the great plug-in, and your diligence in making sure it works!!!

    mira: try adding this line in your comments.php file just below the form

    <?php add_text(); ?>

    avidreader: thanks for letting me know, I hope it runs well for you

    hi, thanks for the nice plugin.. i haven’t the error you told above, so it looks like fixed.. but i have another error. it doesn’t show the Turkish Characters properly. may be because of encoding, is there any option for this ?

    well, you may see at my comment that error ( because of my last post include Turkish chars ).

    Yes it is! here’s a bit of shameless self-promotion :) : did you ever think that buying ebooks instead of actual paper books was a green option for reading? I think it is, see if you agree with me.

    I can’t get commentluv to work at all. When it’s enabled and someone tries to post, nothing happens. The comment doesn’t show up, I get no mail… it’s as though they never tried to comment in the first place.

    Also, it doesn’t look like it does below under your submit button, my little checkmark is on a totally different line.

    *frustrated*

    I have had to disable it so that people are able to comment until I figure it out.

    I spotted one problem, but it’s ever since you added styling. The tag is missing the type=”text/css”. I know it’s just an XHTML validation error, but I use that validation to check my own mistakes with tags.

    I found two more errors:

    The checked=checked code on line 129 should read:

    { echo ” checked=’checked’ />”;}

    The label on line 130 needs a closing tag.

    RT: Nice one, thanks for pointing those out. I have updated the plugin to v1.6 now.

    Nicole: just about every book I have learned from these past two years has been downloaded. problem is, for a technical manual to be of any use, it needs to be printed out so maybe not so green…. I have listed to some audio books recently though, big fat ones if they’d have been books so maybe I saved a branch or two :-)

    skyquakes: I think this has to do with what character set is being used to parse the feed and what is being used on the blog for display. are you able to get turkish characters in the last blog post showing on your own turkish blog?

    i can’t get turkish characters with CommentLuv also at my own blog( as you can see here, under this comment). there must be some charset for commentluv, if you show the way, i can try turkish iso values etc..

    but no problem with my rssfeed or page display. here is my rss: http://blog.mavikalemler.net/?feed=rss2

    I’m not sure if this is my own fault, or not, but I thought I’d mention it anyway. On the Options page, CommentLuv 1.6 is still showing as 1.2.

    skyquakes: I will look into doing some experimenting this week to see if I can sort that out, I do know that Chinese and Japanese characters have worked ok before. I’ll have a play with it…

    Solomon: I have changed the default text to display no version number now because your database keeps the old option for the text to display, you can change it in your dashboard under settings/commentluv

    Wow, that was a quick response! :D

    The other thing I’ve noticed is that the CSS styling isn’t working. I have the default

    border:1px solid; display:block; padding:4px;

    as the option, but there’s no border on the actual post. I’m using a theme that I customised myself – do you think that that could be the problem?

    solomon: the styling uses .commentlist abbr and the last blog post is enclosed in <abbr> </abbr> tags. it looks like your addition to the comment is enclosed in <em></em> tags, just go to the commentluv settings in your dashboard and change the <em> tags to <abbr> and that should do it

    I’ve upgraded to 1.6 and it seems to be working better! I just have a few questions… has anyone noticed that the comments appear to be picked up by askimet more when using commentluv? I’ve gotten my husband to test using the URL for this site and it keeps going into my spam.

    Also, how do I get that black border around the last post like you have on here?

    breigh: Akismet might be picking them up as spam because they contain the extra link, there should be a setting for your akismet which states how many links a comment can contain before being put in for moderation, just increase that by one.

    for the styling, go to the commentluv options page in your dashboard and enclose the last blog post text with <abbr></abbr> tags

    You missed line 129: { echo ” checked=’checked’ />”;}

    If you check your source, you’ll see auto;’checked=checked

    well, I would do anything for plugins ….but I wont do that :-P

    it was just one space, changed that and updated the repository without adding another .1 to the version.

    But it still doesn’t validate without the single quotes around checked.

    the source of the plugin doesn’t use quotes for the checked option, it must be added by wordpress…

    Sorry, Andy. I edited the comment after submitting (and I know you got the first one by email) and meant “without” not “with”. The source isn’t altered, but the quotes are needed.

    Andy, Can’t seem to get it to work on my site. There is nothing in Akisment that is messing me up. I am not sure where in the comment php file to “” as you mentioned above. I tried several different places in the comment form and none of them worked. Any advice?
