I’ve managed to scrape a few spare moments in front of the pc to complete the beta version of Intense Debate CommentLuv.
It didn’t take any particularly difficult code to produce because those nice folks at Automattic coded the ID plugin to use filters and actions just like WordPress does so ‘hooking’ in the code took a lot less time than I thought.
It’s just been approved by the ID team so you’ll be able to select it as a plugin from the ID dashboard. If you already have WordPress CommentLuv installed, you’ll need to disable it if you want to use the ID version.
Here’s what it looks like in the comments at GingerWench
It’s a really simple install. Just visit your ID dashboard and go to the plugins link. A little bit down the page is the link to activate CommentLuv.
One little click and your IntenseDebate comment form will start to show the CommentLuv badge and move the url field to just below the textarea.
Once you have your url entered, clicking the textarea fires the plugin to go and fetch your last post.
Click to choose a post to include
If you’re a registered member here and have visited the member page to enter your URL details then when you comment, you receive 10x the luv! Click the image below to visit your IntenseDebate dashboard.

Has the CommentLuv plugin for Disqus been released? I have been reading around tweets about it, but could not find out. Ultimately, I though, I should ask the source.
Could you please let me know?
Cheerio!

as of right now, the possiblity of a Disqus commentluv is not good because their API only allows the fetching and posting of the comments. There isn’t a way yet to filter the comment or fire actions based on certain things happening in the iframe they use for the comment text area.
They’re always updating the api so I imagine when they see ID getting commentluv they’ll be all jealous and stuff
Twitter: wwginger
says:
After doing some research, I’ve also learned that Disqus doesn’t remove the “rel=nofollow” attribute on the links used in comments, while IntenseDebate does… so using IntenseDebate with CommentLuv is actually a better fit in my opinion.
(SEO argument about “link juice” and “neighborhoods” aside)

disqus use an iframe for their comment entry which means that no javascript in the world will be able to interact with it. Until they remove the iframe, there will be no commentluv for disqus. (unless they have an api which will allow me to add to the comment text before it gets submitted which they told me wouldn’t happen)

best thing to do would be to download your full template and keep a copy of it saved just in case you need to revert back to what you’re already using.
Hi Andy,
Been a few months i think since we were in touch – you were planning to integrate with ID at the time. Well you got there and i’ve just installed the plugin (literally!).
Well done, great news, and great to see it live on the site.
All the best,

Does comment luv work with other comment tools beside Intense Debate? I am not happy with Intense Debate and it takes FOREVER for them to resolve issues. Right now, you can not post a comment from the front page, you have to click on the post itself. I think this can discourage people to comment. Plus, it would be nice to see all the comments from the first page, without clicking on each post. I have emailed IntenseDebate, but it takes so long to get back.
Does CommentLuv work another way??

Thanks for commentluv pluggins .Linking would be easy with the help of this pluggins. Great Job Andy!!

I’ve installed CommentLuv plugin to my blog yesterday and it did work though it’ll take so long to appear and I just wonder why it suddenly didn’t appear at all since this afternoon when it did this morning? Why does it take too long to appear, unlike the ‘smiley’ icon. People won’t take too long to leave a comment and they will never notice the ‘SiteURL’ box when the CommentLuv plugin takes too long to appear.

I am using CommentLuv for Blogger and it’s working great! The only problem I have is that now there is no direct or labeled way for people to get to the comment form if they just go to the main page. Is there a way to address this so people can leave a comment from the main page of my blog? I hope that makes sense.

Hi Andy,
I have an IntenseDebate comment form with Comment Luv enabled on Blogger. Is there any way that I can tweak the no-follow and do-follow attribute of the links?
I understand that tweaks are easily done for Word Press users. How do I get to make the author’s link do-follow and their latest blog post picked up by Comment Luv as no-follow? Is this possible? Thanks!

if you have blogger then the answer is, you can’t! if you own your own blog and have your own server then you can do what you like with your links. If you have to use someone elses system like blogger then you have to do what they say.
