I’m doing some testing of the revisions I am making to my plugin so apologies for any strangeness that happens if you comment!
note to self:
a wp standard location of /feed/ that points to a feedburner feed that uses an extra subdomain will not parse (lalla-mira.com/feed/ leads to /feeds.feedburner.com/lalla-mira/BvyP)
.. still not behaving, sorry miss Mira but for some reason, your feedburner adds a bit on the end of your username for your feed and that causes the script to trip up, it can’t resolve a feed at that url 
many typepad blogs that don’t use subdirectory have a feed in a subdirectory, may need to parse users page for a feed link another way…
.. if it can’t find a feed in the default location, it parses page for a meta link to the feed by looking for title=”RSS
… YEY! it now works on the blogs that it didn’t work on before, no more use of file and fopen.
thanks to Pelf at Pelf-ism for testing out the new version
edit
I’ve now replaced the old manual feed parsing routine with the WordPress internal feed handling functions and also changed the parsing routine for finding a feed link on the authors page so it should work with all types of feeds as long as they are declared on the page in the head section.
I’m looking to add locale support or maybe add a page to the admin section so that a user can edit the text that is shown on the comment. I’ll look into it this week.
I’m trying to overcome the problem of a feedburner feed having an extra subdirectory on the end of the url. I suspect it is due to a user having more than one feed with feedburner. I’ve put a message on the forum there so I’ll see what turns up.
Otto at the wordpress forums explained how to extend the timeout time by editing the config.php and adding
[php]define(‘MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT’, 5);[/php]
5 being the amount of seconds before timeout
more notes to self:
need to improve the findfeedburner function to allow for different feed links
add incrementing level number to each new feed parsing procedure to make way for an options page
make an options page!

You are simply amazing

I have a feeling that it is not showing your feed here because it takes a long time to view your feed with http://chenpn.com/feed so the script is timing out when it is run from this server.
I’ll see what I can do about that, I’m please it works on your blog for your readers though!

Don’t wont anything to mess up with my (Comment)Luv. Tell me what I can do with my feed so that it doesn’t cause CL any troubles.
Any other alternatives for the one I am using?
October 1st, 2007 on 9:02 pm
the only reason it’s not doing your feed (oo-er) Mira, is you have an extra little bit on the end of your feedburner url.
normally the url looks like this
feeds.feedburner.com/username
but yours is
feeds.feedburner.com/lalla-mira/BvyP
do you have more than one feedburner feed?

But how come the other comments above do not have their last blog post shown too?
pelf’s last blog post..I’m going pink!

I got it working after your first message, mine don’t show coz I’m admin and mira has a feedburner issue which doesn’t show hers.
the other posts have examples of it working with most commenters!
October 2nd, 2007 on 6:41 pm
If I have many feeds? I have no idea.
I only installed FeedBurner, and when I went checking now it said that it not find a valid feed at my address. O_o’
Do I deactivate its plugin and try something else? How do I get a nice feed page like yours, in addition to email subscription, please?
October 2nd, 2007 on 6:53 pm
the word from the forums is that you never know if it will get extra characters on the end of the url so there’s no harm in you deleting the feed you have there and making a new one with the same settings, you might get lucky and have your new url as a standard.
you may lose your stats for the feed though so if that’s important to you, you might have to live without the (comment) luv
October 2nd, 2007 on 8:05 pm
You’re kidding me! Live without CL?
I tried to create a FeedBurned feed again but I had the same problem, it added some extra letters.
October 2nd, 2007 on 10:31 pm
oh dear! I don’t know what to about that, I’ll have to have an extended think session.
it’s strange because it was parsing your feed sometimes.
I checked the headers when I go to lalla-mira.com/feed/ and it does a proper redirect to the feed burner feed but for some reason it can’t follow it to a url that has extra bits.
it’s quite annoying! see if you can add this to your < *head> part of your template to see if it can pick this up (ignore *)
< **link rel="alternate" type="application/rss xml" title="RSS" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourbits/extra/" />
you’ve got a similar line in your
of your blog so you can probably replace the existing line with this one, be sure to enter your own feedburner url instead of the one shown and remove the ** from after the < symboltry that and make a comment here
October 2nd, 2007 on 11:23 pm
Oh, all this trouble!
I did what you said. Let’s see….
— Nothing!
October 2nd, 2007 on 11:29 pm
And now?
October 3rd, 2007 on 7:35 am
oh noes!, let me work on it today for you. there must be a way!
October 3rd, 2007 on 5:33 pm
I got your message about deleting the extra space from my feed address, but my CL is still not working here.
October 3rd, 2007 on 5:36 pm
I’m still getting an error when I go to http://www.lalla-mira.com/feed/
have a look and see what it comes up with when you browse to the address above
October 3rd, 2007 on 5:46 pm
It’s leading me to my feed address, no errors.
October 3rd, 2007 on 5:52 pm
I am getting an error when posting, it says something about line 180 on commentlv.php or something .

yes wissam, I was in mid transfer when you tried to comment.
I changed the functions for the feed parser and now it works for you and you feed.
yey
sorry Mira, I am still getting the 404 error when I go to http://www.lalla-mira.com/feed/
lets give it a day or two because I have a massive amount of work to do and I keep drifting off into my own stuff instead of the stuff I get paid for!
October 3rd, 2007 on 6:33 pm
Sure Andy! I certainly don’t want to keep you busy with that.
Let’s give it a break, and hope it magically works in the weekend. :p
Thanks a lot!
October 10th, 2007 on 11:23 pm
I have to admit, now that I have been using this plug in, I love it and my readers really love it! You have something very cool here! I wish I could use my own chosen anchor text for each post link…ha ha ha…but maybe that’s a lot to ask!

thanks Bobby, it does seem to create a little bit of a buzz and once a commenter see’s their last post being shown, they’ll be sure to come back and comment again when they make their latest and greatest post!
I have checked your blog regularly and with the new version of CommentLuv, a lot more of your commenters will have their last post shown.
I was considering adding another field to the comment form for specifying a feed location but I think with the new version, it’ll get a lot more feeds that it does now. (and it gets quite a few now)
thanks for using commentluv!

Has 1.0 been released yet? I don’t see it on the wordpress.org site (still showing .999) and was just wondering on one thing that’s been bothering me,
It’s about the checkbox, which I noticed is always checked. I have a few visitors that dont’ want to have the checkbox checked and don’t want to keep unchecking it everytime they make a comment.
Is there any way that the checkbox could be cookie based so that if they uncheck it once then it stays unchecked and for those that want it checked to keep it checked?
Thanks for the great plugin!

yoshi: sorry, I was supposed to be updating CL a long time ago but I have a very large project to complete that takes priority. I will be adding an options page to allow the blog owner to choose the default tick or not as well as other options when I get around to having some time to devote to personal coding.
I might get a day off soon (maybe) and I’ll see if I can do it then
thanks for using commentluv!
