Intense Debate CommentLuv is Here!
Posted by Andy Bailey on November 11th, 2009
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.

I really look forward to this release. I have recently installed intense debate after removing disqus mainly for the inability to remove no follow.

A lot more people seem to be using Intense Debate now, I’m going through the official channels to get commentluv included as a ID plugin on their site today. Thanks for your feedback

The combination of CommentLuv and IntenseDebate is working wonderfully. The two really do compliment each other nicely, thanks so much for all of your work on this Andy!

Thanks, Andy! I’m very happy with it! It’s running smoothly, and doesn’t cause any compatibility issues with any of my other plugins

it should be ready soon. It’s already been submitted to IntenseDebate so they’ll be testing it right now to make sure it doesn’t break anything and then you’ll be able to select to install it from the ID 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

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)

thanks! hope it goes well for you
[...] When you install the IntenseDebate comment plugin, you should deactivate the regular CommentLuv WP plugin, and instead activate CommentLuv directly through your IntenseDebate account. This means that you have one less plugin running off your WP install. With the improvements made to IntenseDebate this week, the load time is not an issue at all, so you save on load time all the way around. Andy explains it here. [...]
[...] to the same threaded comments presentation and ability to subscribe to comments and replies, ID now includes CommentLuv! If you’ve been following me for very long at all, you know I’m a huge fan of Andy [...]

Are there any sort of complications involved if I have JS-Kit on my blog now and would like to switch to ID? Is it just a matter of disabling JS-Kit and enabling ID or am I going to have to start messing around with the HTML of my blog?

I’m really not sure. I haven’t tried to uninstall jskit and replace it with ID.
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,
Mick

Is there ever an issue with having too many pluggins on a site? or can you just keep adding them?
Twitter: commentluv
November 24th, 2009 (#)
the only thing you need to worry about with having many plugins is the amount of extra resource they consume and how much time they add to the loading of your page.

I had commentluv plugin on my site but it has disappeared. I have tried to log in to download the plugin but I can’t login and have tried to reset my password but the new passwords given do not work.
I recently added intense debate and look forward to the new plugin with comment luv.

if you submit a support ticket when you’re having problems I can sort things out in most cases.
I see you’ve added IntenseDebate to your site, you can add commentluv by selecting it in the plugins section of the intense debate dashboard
hmm, nice feature, it just convinced me to register. thanks

This is brilliant, I’ve been waiting for this for a very long time, great job implementing it.
I have a question though, is there a way to mess about with the CSS file? I’d like to see if I can change the colour etc.

you can put in custom css to your intense debate dashboard. use firebug to see what classes the links and popups are to change the css.

Where’s the problem: the post what comment luv is showing here is not the newest.
Where and what should I do to get already yesterday updated post to show?
Thank you!
Another question. Is it possible to get this great option to Blogger one day?
Really annoying always to go via people’s profile…
