I had a eureka! moment this morning as I was fighting to stay asleep even though I was busting for a pee, those moments in semi-dream state where if you’re careful you can ‘watch’ the dream happen before you piss your pants.
I get this quite a lot but people I tell don’t seem to (I’m sure witchypoo would know someone) so maybe I’m as nutty as the floor on a pistachio eating contest.
but back to eureka!… I saw a tooltip thing on someones name at a German blog last night, I couldn’t understand it but it must have stuck in my head because this morning I was dreaming of a big floaty tooltip with a spinning Gravatar in it and I couldn’t get it back in the net which, in the way that dreams like to play things, was representative of a folder of old code.
Now, a whole load more boring stuff happened too but, that was the bit that (with hindsight) got me tinkering with a jquery plugin called Jtip as soon as the coco-pops had been finished. I failed miserably and in desperation opened up Dreamweaver to try some javascript things only to find that the last file I had opened in the big D was a page I made that used Jtip! haha, I normally do all my coding in ZendStudio. I don’t know why I used Dreamweaver this time.. woooOHHHHoooo 
Anyhooo, You can see the result of staying up too late doing code for too long and then getting psychotic with weird dreams where you’re a purple triangle and trying to turn it into a plugin….
When you hover over the little heart on the CommentLuv last blog posts, you get to see the members Gravatar and profile at commentluv.com if they’re a member and see how many times that link has been clicked before.
If the link owner isn’t a member of commentluv.com, they get how many times that link has been clicked and a message about commentluv.com
leave a comment and try it below!
Please note
If you use feedburner and your links point to your feedburner link then it wont be able to know who you are. See this post to switch off feedburner redirects.
Will be integrated to CommentLuv as an option
This should take about a day but I think it’s better to combine the two and have the little hearts as an option to be switched on by the user (not everyone likes tooltips!)

I love those Eureka moments…Except I don’t get them while I’m at the gym. I can get them while someone is talking to me and I’m not listening to half of what that person is saying simply because a great idea is going on…quite embarassing! Otherwise it’s really at random moments
Back to you… I love the feature, it’s really great!

It’s always a Sophie’s Choice, finish the dream or pee the bed.

frogstr: I know what you mean, I have to concentrate to listen to someone if they take longer than 5 seconds to say it. I’ve learned that is polite (but annoying!)
witchypoo: lol, we call it Hobsons choice over here. Haven’t peed the bed since I dreamt I was on a train and went to the toilet when I was 9 . oh the shame :blush:

Strange, I went to my feedburner account and unchecked Item Link Click, yet am still showing a feedburner redirect.
Also, I’m a member of commentluv.com, but it says I’m not.
Wah.

you wanna try it on your site? it requires file_get_contents or fopen to be allowed on the hosting for it to be able to get the data but it will be apparant straight away if the hosting doesn’t have it so it can be removed quite easily.
it’s at http://www.commentluv.com/internal/download/mycommentluvplus.zip
upload the mycommentluvplus folder to your plugins directory and activate it. it should start to work immediately on all links made with ACL 2.0 and up

Now you’re dreaming of code in your sleep! It’s fun watching the story of CommentLuv 2.0 unfold before me.
By the way, Thanks for using my CL profile in the description! That was a surprise.

I have only heard of people like you before. I can now aver that I know of at least one who dreams coding and other computer stuff in his sleep!

Dennis: see the bit in red in the post about feedburner links, it starts with “please note:”
#1430.09.08 8:41 pm
Will turning that off, mess with anything else to do with feedburner? Or is it just useless…

#16it is so feedburner can count your clicks but it makes no difference to your feed.

If I thought that, I may not be so nice LOL

Hi, google – I mean Andy!
Putting total number of posts written would be cool, but what would be cooler is organizing the pop-up a little more intuitively. You should put “This Link has Appeared on” and “Some Other Posts” next to each other. Like in 2 columns side by side. I think that’s a more efficient use of space.

byteful: I did try the two columns thing but some of the post titles are quite long and didn’t look good doing wraparound. I’ll see if I can tidy it up and put it in the next commentluv update as an option (as well as fix the admin buttons for wordpress below 2.5.2)

Great job, looks really cool

Ooooh cool feature, we likes! Maybe people could add their social profiles to the CommentLuv profile (Facebook, Twitter, etc) for more interlinky goodness?
Keep on dreaming, it’s working!
