commentluv info panel

Here’s the new sexy info panel for the latest version of 2.81.1 version of CommentLuv. What do you think? looks perty huh?

Thanks to Hisham for working with me on the code for this, I think you’ll agree that it looks much better than the old one.

Changes in this version

Bug Fix

Bug fix for empty feed being returned. For some reason that I cannot fathom, sometimes a feed wont send back it’s posts. It’s just a minor glitch and only lasts a for a few seconds but if you don’t notice the empty feed, you’ll submit your comment and the blog will show the cached message instead.

I updated the plugin and the API to not show an empty feed. If you get the no last posts to return message, just uncheck and check the box again and commentluv will try it again which should work the second time around.

Thanks to Will Taft for being a good feedbacker and keeping on my case about this. I still haven’t found what causes it but at least I fixed it from ruining a comment! (Microsoft would be proud)

Better Badges

Thanks to Byteful Traveller for keeping me in supply of updated badges, icons and buttons for the plugin, the newsletter and this site.

I have updated the badges to the latest pretty versions. I’ve changed the filenames too so you may have to go into your settings and reselect a badge.

Click Tracking

It (should) track the extra links in the info panel now.

Better FAQ

Added a little to the FAQ

Going Dutch

Thanks to Rene from WP Web Shop for providing the Dutch translation for the plugin.

Download!

Visit the Download page to get the latest version (2.81.1) which should be available from the Codex on WordPress.org by now

    That info panel seems to never work for me when I mouse over my own. Not sure if it is supposed to be that way but sometimes I am curious as to my own info also.

    Guys, I want to ask a question…I don’t quite understand where can I find blogs that support commentluv?

  12. Scott says:

    Looks pretty good. Will the detailed member info automatically show when you hoover over the picture? Maybe diffrent colours would be an option, like one white comment backround, then a really light gray, then white again and so on…

  13. looking good!!
