CommentLuv

I’ve added some explanitory text to the signup page so new users don’t get confused and think they need a blog here just to have an account and I’ve added the CommentLuv Blogger download page with easy 1 click install method.
Next update to Commentluv will have Italian and Chinese language support and maybe a “traditional” [...]

I just added the Google Analytics plugin to the site so individual blogs can enter their GA number in the settings page (log in to your dashboard, click settings/google analytics) and whatever theme they’re using will have the Google analytics code added to the footer.

Made some small adjustments to the server so that emails from the system about confirmation links and username/password reminders don’t get sent to the spam bin on gmail. I’ve tested this out on a few different systems and they all receive the system emails straight to the inbox.
Just in time for a public opening!

Added a plugin to wpmu-plugins for hooking into the wpmu_new_user action to subscribe user to ComLuv updates newsletter. The user will automatically receive a confirmation request by ListLuv.
add_action(’wpmu_new_user’,'cl_addsubscriber’);
function cl_addsubscriber($user_id){
// get user email and name and ip
$userip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
$useremail = $user_info->user_email;
$username = $user_info->user_login;
// send request to ListLuv api
Added additional message to signup last page to tell [...]

I have discovered some minor issues with some of the themes that are part of the initial install, nothing major but rather than wait for all the themes to be used and loved and then put down when problems appear, I will remove all the unused themes and re-up them one by one after testing [...]

The new default theme for new users is Blogging Pro by Elena G (See it here)

There are a number of different themes available for your blog straight away, some of them will require some attention from me as the site grows to add the ability for users to edit the options for displaying some of [...]

I’ve created a beta blog at http://beta.comluv.com and will be using that to provide updates to the beta testers and to answer questions that they might have.
I will be creating some more blogs for tutorials and other subjects and keep posts on the main blog (here) for site wide news and articles. There are options [...]

Please leave a comment below (or reply to the newsletter) to apply to be one of the first to use the new Wordpress 2.7 version of CommentLuv.
You must have a self hosted Wordpress 2.7.1 blog and be familiar enough with it to be able to upload a new plugin, activate it and change the settings.

edited the about page to include the history of commentluv.

WPMU was stripping out any html I put into a post so the subscribe form for updates wasn’t showing up. Even using a shortcode wouldn’t work until I removed the filter responsible.
Edited functions.php to add shortcode
add_shortcode(’shortcodename’,'functionnameinfunctions.php’);
function shortcodename($atts,$content=null){
remove_filter(’the_content’,’wp_filter_post_kses’);
$return = ‘

‘;
return $return;
}
Prevents all shortcodes from being executed in the theme, just the ones I want.
