Emergency coding night ahead!

Posted by Andy Bailey June - 11 - 2009 - Thursday

Since the release of the plugin, around 3500 people have downloaded it from the codex. With that many people using it, I knew there was going to be a slew of people pointing out any errors or bugs that they experience.

I tried my best to prevent any problems by testing it on wp2.7 wpmu 2.7.1, on php4 and php5, on 20 different themes and through different os’s and browsers. I thought I had got all the bugs sorted, not true!! mass use will always find things that can’t be predicted, it’s the ‘fun’ part of coding don’t you know?! ;-)

Luckily, there’s only 2 things that are causing issues right now.

1. the added bit of code that identifies the link ([rq=251 etc)
2. the info box going out of place

solutions:

1. I will be coding late into the night to work around not inserting this data to the comment and still being able to identify it for clicks and info requests. Ron is also working on the API to see if that bit can be left out too.

2. In my late night coding, I will work on a fix for this too. It happens on blogs where the sidebar is outside the main wrap div which puts the left position out by a lot or hides the info box under the sidebar (even if I set the z-index to a high number)

It's my birthday tomorrow so I might end up with cake in my face instead of code in my head. please be patient and don't swear too much about this minor issues (minor, hah!)

oh, and please please please, use the support tickets system for reporting problems and not the comments of the posts on this site. it's really hard to keep track of who wants what when it's spread over mutliple posts and comments, the support ticket system keeps everything in one place and each problem has it's own thread, just visit the dashboard and click the link for support tickets under "support"

thanks!

[update] The plugin has been updated to v2.7.3 which removes the pesky tags and validates better with xhtml. please download it from the repository here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/commentluv/

    Ok…so, just so I understand what’s happening to the comments because I have had some issues myself. When readers leave comments it doesn’t leave their latest post or a picture on the comment. Is that what’s happening? Because that was the whole reason I downloaded the great plugin. Love your stuff, can’t wait for it to actually work on my site ;-)

    I’m just a little lost as to why this works so well but cannot see it on my own site. I’m using disqus and shall continue because of the facebook connect, twitter and disqus login features, Coupled with apture it really gives my site the feature I want and need.

    Ive installed the latest commentluv plugin but don’t see where it gets implemented. I’m using wpmu at http://bipolaroni.com.

    Any ideas or should I just sit tight?

    Thanks,
    Rita

    Awesome job! I will be doing an update on CommentLuv as a plugin review…so it is great to see this plugin doing so well.

    BTW, ever get TwittipID valid? I never saw an update on it, but if not, I will go ahead and look at the plugin and try to get it validated.

    Happy Birthday. You know you’re a workaholic when you release new code on your birthday. Now if I only knew what I was supposed to do to be able to select different posts.

    Do we have to wait until each blog updates their version of CommentLuv? Or do we have to claim our blog again somewhere? Or maybe just logging in here did the trick. Now it is working in both my blog and blogs I’m visiting. Good show!

    I hope you have a super birthday and take some time for yourself as soon as you can.

    I love the idea and have implemented the plugin on two of my sites.
    My concern is that I don’t appear to have set up my blog correctly so that I benefit when I comment elsewhere.

    That is to say when I comment on someone’s CommentLuv enabled blog their plugin fails to import an excerpt from my blog.

    Searching for clues about that…

    I’m hoping the dust settles. I’m still not seeing my blog updated when I post on CommentLuv whereas I did in the past. Now the little gray bar just goes back and forth as I type my comments, but no blog topic is displayed. Hmmm..
