It nests! How novel.

You must surely be a pineapple full of mustard.

(Deja vú)

Browsers that are so old they don’t have javascript wont be able to post at all.

Does this mean that having javascript disabled will also prevent posting?

To everyone subscribing to the nested comments thread, I would like to announce that Brian's Nested Comments 1.1 has been released, and I have fixed the deep nesting and Internet Explorer issues.

this is beautiful. thank you! so easy to set up, and very nice to look at. :D

This is one brilliant plugin. Thank you so much.
I just installed it at the URL given on a new group blog I have set up and am so thrilled with it I intend to install it on my other blogs too.

I was just looking for threading – didn't expect the vast improvments to the general look and feel of WP commenting.

Will this plugin work with the Kubrick 1.2.5 layout? As both of them seems to change the wp-comments, I thought it might not? If so, any plans to make it work with Kubrick?

Currently having problems with the plugin. I had an older version (the first version that was released to address the issue of not working with 1.3) installed on an older CVS (August 31st I think). Anyways, I upgraded via CVS and had to download the latest version of your plugin. Replaced both wp-comments*.php files and used a modified version of the plugin file. I also tried the version that comes in the zip file, still a no go. The plugin doesn't cause any errors but with the modified wp-comments*.php files the comment section loads blank (checked source and nothing but

is there). Any ideas?

On an unrelated note, you might want to consider making a paged comments plugin with all of the comments on this page :)

A quick note, about me having trouble with this plugin:
1. You should change < ? to 2. You should make the checking for the comment_reply_ID column more strict, because I had trouble installing the plugin because of 1. and the table didn't get altered and the only error I got was something like "wrong argument for foreach at …" which wasn't that helpfull.

Your script works real well, although it produces some funny results with my site template (Mars Spirit, with a different pic at the top), requiring I change the "meta" class to something else.

In any event, the script seems to break for a given post if I delete a comment that has comments threaded below it. Known bug, should this work, or something you didn't figure on happening?

Fabulous plugin, but I must ask a question:

How do I allow people to subscribe to comments via email?

I've looked and looked, but don't see it.

I just installed Wordpress 1.2, and your nested comments. I have it activated but I get this error:

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/20/d88608368/htdocs/kambiz/anthropology/wp-comments.php on line 88"

Any idea what's going on?

Hey Brian …

I have a friend who just started a TypePad blog. I'm evangelizing him to WordPress but in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone has adapted your plugin to TypePad before. If not, do you have any idea how hard it would be to adapt the plugin to TypePad?

I was wondering if anyone had reported any problems with incompatiablities with other comment related plugins. I installed it fine on a blog that had no other plguins on it, but I couldn't get the threaded comment plugin to work on a blog that had other plugins, and I'm half wondering if it's beause I'm using some comment related plugins and they're conflicting. I'm using the Subscribe via Email plugin and the optional comment moderation plugin. If anyone had some wisdom, it would be very much apperciated… Thanks!

Great looking plugin. Good work.

I am however having some very bothersome javascript woes while trying to use it, and from the comments I see, I'm the only one. Clicking "Reply to this comment" moves the comment box as it should, but if I click the cancel button at any time, the comment box disappears without a trace, and clicking any reply box has no effect. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian,

Fantastic plugin. I've got it working just fine and am now to the point where I'd like to change the look and feel of it a bit. For instance, I'd like to use a dotted line for the border instead of a solid line. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

I followed your instructions to apply the nested comments plugin, but attempting to Activate it results in "Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work." What is that, and where do I enable it?

Thanks!

Just installed and activated. Now looking at an older post with comments gives this error message instead of displaying comments:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/lakeridg/.panel/web/wordpress/wp-comments.php on line 88

Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Hi, I found a small error in the plugin
it messed up my layout and it didn't validate anymore

wp-comments.php, line 93:
the end-tag of the DIV should be placed outside the if/else structure, otherwise the DIV is not closed when there are no comments. ( it's the end-tag of this tag:

I too am getting the "Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/lakeridg/.panel/web/wordpress/wp-comments.php on line 88" problem, I'm using 1.2.2.

Any update on the Kubrick+BrianThreaded special release?

Hey, has this/when will this be brought in line with the new installation of WP 1.5? I absolutely love this plugin, but had some issues originally….

I'm guessing you have comments screened, otherwise I'd do this in response to my other one: This is the error I get when I try to use this with 1.5:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare add_magic_quotes() (previously declared in MYPATH/wp-comments-post.php:4) in MYPATH/functions.php on line 1738

this plugin rocks. Congrats Brian!
When it will be avaliable for v1.5? please do all the bussiness work quickly! a lot of Meidell plugin fans we are waiting!

Congrats by a spanish boy!

Saludos!

The 1.5 version of the plugin is here :)

Thanks!! I had missed them :)

Thanks for the nice plugin! Very easy to install, in contrast to some of the other "plugins" (though they were really more hacks) that I have tried…

Just one question, is it possible to have collapse/expand images, as in this blog? I have downloaded suitable icons, and changed the css in the plugin file, but no luck…

Any hints? Thanks,
-Carsten

Sorry if you are recieving this twice, but my internet cut out, and I am not sure if it went through….

Anyways, thanks for the great plugin. Works great and much easier to install than some of the other "plugins" (that were in actuality hacks) that I have tried.

Just wondering if it would be possible to have (+) and (-) icons to minimize/maximize threads, rather than the (T). I have placed appropriates images on my site, and changed the CSS in the plugin file to reflect the image locations, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Carsten

Nothing happens when I click the little square or "Reply to this comment". And I'm not sure what "the default content DIV tag has the ID “content”" means… :/

This seems really cool. I unfortunately can't implement it in my WordPress for some Reasons. Even though I strictly followed the readme-guides, the plugin does not appear in the plugin-menu. (the older version, "nested comments" did, but did not work – everything after the "page.php" part disappeared…)

My database is writable, the required files are in place, I use WordPress 1.5 with the default theme (kubrick), although this got slightly altered (changes in the header-concerned CSS, and a change in the order the header/sidebar/content appear…

Is there anyone knowing what could cause this to happen and or willing to help me sort it out?

Thanks much!
d. )

(sorry if this is my second attempt – the first one didn't show up…)

No matter what I try to do, I can't even get your plugin to appear in the plugin-manager… I tried reinstalling WordPress, downloaded the plugin from several sources, restarted the server, stared at the source…

but I'm clueless at this point, and would really, really like to get it working (actually, I'd NEED it for my purpose)...

Thanks already for any help
regards
d.

I get an error: comment has no properties when I click Reply Here. Have you seen this before?

Actually, how do I unsubscribe to this thread?

The emails you receive should contain a link for a supscription manager that lets you unsubscribe.

Thanks for making such wonderful plugin, I used it since I switched to WP1.5.

Does it work with WP1.5.1?

I have a Page that I want to use threaded comments for … but I want the "normal" WP comments to use the default setup. Is there a way to do what I'm describing?

So cool!! I love AJAX

Hi,
I'm not using your plugin, but my comments are threaded in Firefox as well (not that I understand why, but I thought I'll mention it here ;-) ). Any hint how to prevent threading is appreciated!
regards,

Grendel

Brian,
I absolutely love your nesting plug in. I searched everywhere for one that I liked, and I found yours. Thank you for enhancing my websiting experience.

any chance of having notification function for this in future? notifications if there is a reply to my comment? I don't want to use subscribe to comments because some people don't wanna know what others have commented.. They want to be notified of replies to their own comments only..

Hi Brian, I've installed the plugin and it worked fine. But then I changed comments.php slightly to customise it (add a gravatar, etc.) and now the comments are blank in IE. Just – white, as if something is covering it up. I know I shouldn't mess with things that I don't know about, but well, it works perfectly in Firefox. =/

I know this problem has nothing to do with you or the plugin, but perhaps you have an idea of what causes this disappearing comments problem?

Thanks.

Brian,

Awesome plugin, thank you!

Could you please take a look at the site and this post:
http://200.115.174.83/article/3

The collapsing and expanding works perfectly in Firefox, but in IE, when I collapse a box, the display gets all screwed up, boxes appear where they shouldn't, extra space is created in comments, etc.

I did see others using your plugin successfully in IE, so I'm trying to figure out what my problem is.

Is it because the width is too large? Or because I'm trying to have live search on the same page? Or something else? Any help would be really appreciated.

Brian, I hope you can help. I was having a comment error that every time anyone left a comment on my site, they got an error that started along these lines:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE comment_ID = 506' at line 1]
UPDATE wp_comments SET comment_reply_ID= WHERE comment_ID = 506;

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/martytdx/public_html/zealot/wp-includes/wp-db.php:98) in /home/martytdx/public_html/zealot/wp-comments-post.php on line 51

It disappears when I remove the Brian's Threaded Comments Plug-in, but I like the idea of the plug-in (although I don't have nearly the readership to really need threaded comments yet).

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marty

I had the plug-in activated, and hadn't changed the comments form at all, but you were right – I didn't see that input type in the source on my page. If I am using a non-standard theme, it should still update it when the plug-in is activated, right? I apologize – I'm new to the PHP thing, so all of these includes are a bit new.

Hi, I was hoping to use your plugin, but I'm running into some trouble. When I try to post a nested comment, I get a page not found error on a page called wp-comments-post-secret.php on both my customized theme and the default theme. I was able to edit comments.php to remove "secret", and it's posting the comments, but they're not nested. Any ideas? My test site is potato.sallad.net/blog.

Hi Brian,

I've download the latest version 1.5.6 and its giving me the following: (Comments wont nest below this level) at the first level, even thought I have put the nested levels to 20!

I've tried look for any similar question on this, but found none, so I had to trouble you. Thanks in advance for replying!

What am I doing wrong, I had a wp-comments-post.php in my word press / directory and I copied comments.php from my theme to / I activated the plugin but I see no change in any behavior?

Please help.

Hello,

I've been using this plugin since you first created it and I absolutely love it; however, I noticed with the most recent update that comments for password protected posts don't show up. Even when the password is entered, the message to type it is there rather than the comments. After trying for several days to find a way to fix this (and subsequently breaking almost everything on my comments form to boot), I thought I'd bite the bullet and inform you of this. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with also upgrading to 1.5.2 – as I didn't check the comments before I'd upgraded my WP install.

Any help would be appreciated. But regardless, thanks so much for a wonderful plugin!

Hello!! I GOT A PROBLEM .. whenever i post a comment
this pops up:

the div tag with the id content is missing

and it says i altered the comments, but when i uploaded an unedited version, it still is the same. the comments are being posted though.. what do you think is wrong with it??

Hi,brian, i´ve installed the plugin in my wordpress 1.5 blog, but appears a window that said a error: "the div tag with the id 'content' is missing". And i followed exactly the install.txt, i didnt modified nothing of the comments.php of the plugin, i put it in my theme directory and doesn´t work. Can you help me please?, i like to much this comment plugin, and i want to use in my blog, Thank you very much

WoW! I tried it! And it's good! :D

Thanks for the coolio plugin

This looks like a really fantastic plugin. There's one thing missing (in order for me to implement it on our site): comment title. If someone creates a thread, they can give it a title. That way, if you collapse a thread/nest, you can see what that thread/nest is all about, instead of just seeing the name of the poster.

Forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere in the mass of nests above—i read the first bunch and didn't read through the remaining 40,000 :-)

hi! I need my "comments.php" could you tell me how to change it? thanks!

Brian hello :)

I am not sure if you are still answering to questions here but I was wondering if I can use your plugin with the "paged comments" plugin.

Hi!! Im using wordpress 1.5.2 right now, and i did everything instructed, but the comments dont show up and this appears:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/jennifer/public_html/dazed/wp/wp-content/themes/default/comments.php on line 136

The "name" and "email"...etc sections are still there however. Here's line 136:

foreach($GLOBALS['threaded_comments'][0] as $comment) {

Any help would be much appreciated!

After fixing the script so that it stops looking for the div/content tag, another error came up that I'm curious about. When attempting to add the admin options to the template it gives me an error. I based it on the kubrick theme and still had issues with it.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/krissy/public_html/wp/wp-content/themes/default/comments.php on line 218

Will there ever be a fix for this?

Hi!
I just made a clean WP install and it seems that your plugin work only for IE(6) but not for Firefox 1.5 as there is no place to input the text. Althou it works in IE6, the post will be oversized somehow :( is there anyway to make it work under Firefox? If there any way to use some of the funtions of your plugin? ;)
Thanks!

Hello

Your Threaded Comments plug-in is magnificent! Exactly what I was looking for when I converted my sites to WordPress. However, there is one little thing that I would like to be able fix.

On pages that I have turned off Comments, the page still gets a "No Comments Yet" line in addition to "Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time." I was able to change the second line to "Comments are closed", but how do I get rid of "No Comments yet" to pages that aren't suposed to get comments (Comments are 'off")? My other site at http://chicagology.com/ still has your original coding.

Thanks again for your wonderful efforts.

Good site. Why also is not present?! (

This looks like a great plugin. Does it work with wordpress 2.0 by any chance?

Have you looked at Wordpress 2.0?

I have some issues with the div=content but i think i have it working. Then again…once i hit this button and see how it is suppposed to work…i could be wrong. haha

Fantastic plugin, Brian! The plugin does just what I was looking for and it was fairly easy to adapt to my blog's layout. I still need to do a bit of editing as my old comment style (framed comments) looks a little silly nested ;-p

Thanks for putting this together =)

I just installed it (and turned it on! :P) on a fresh WP2.01 install (running PHP Version 4.4.2 and MySQL 4.1.12) but can't get past the "Threaded Comments Options" page on the admin screen. No matter what i put in there, I get the following:


WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_shrinkby'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_shrinkby'' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_customtarget'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_customtarget'' LIMIT 1

I assume it is not properly creating the necessary database tables/rows, but I can't figure out enough from the errors or the plugin code to create them manually. If you could at least write in the install instructions what the database fields are supposed to be, it might help some of us troubleshoot on our own.

Nice funcionality, but make the comments design "ugly"

Brian,
I have managed to get your threaded comments to work on wp 2.0.1 + k2..had to change the pic and sometimes get an error about a missing div id=content
check the one word post titled "ugly"...Iam no expert but it's probably trivial to fix it for k2 ,[pic not showing on ie7b2preview.

Hi Brian, do you noticed that if you uninstall for whatever reason the plugin, your comments get all messed up? They all change and appear as if they were writen by you (the blog admin) and not the persons that actually wrote them.

Nice plugin tho!

Quick question… my site makes use of alternate stylesheets. Is there a way to have the CSS in the script cut out and placed into the main stylesheet of the site? Since I need the comments to have 4 different styles…

Hi Brian,
First of all, thanks for your great work. I'm so appreciated.
and…
I made a modified version of 'Threaded and Paged Comments(by Trustin)' which based on 'Brian's Threaded Comments(Yours)' and 'Paged comments', and named it 'tp-guestbook'.
This plugin only for make guest-book page.

I tried to send a trackback, but my post is in korean(I'm not so good at english :( )
I just mean to let you konw someone have made some change on your work.

You can check it Here

Any plans on making this plugin fail gracefully for non-javascript-enabled browsers? Also I second the commentor above who wanted an additional "thread title" field. I'd love to use wordpress as a bbs solution but a thread title seems necessary for this.

Also it would be great if you could subscribe via email to only lower nested comments (ie. replies to your thread/sub-thread) rather than the entire comment list.

Hey Brian, great plugin! I've recently built a blog for a good friend of mine, but I've run into a problem integrating your plugin (she very much wants nested comments a la LiveJournal).

Here's the link to the test post I put up with the problem.

Basically, it works fine in Firefox, but in IE if more than 2 comments are expanded the sidebar gets pushed to the bottom. (Try collapsing the 3rd comment and you'll see what I mean)

I'm no CSS guru, but I've definitely run into IE trouble like this before. Do you have an idea of what the problem could be or how I could fix it?

Just realized I commented in the wrong post :p—
"threaded comments" is incompatible with favatars (essentially stops favatars from working)... can you play with them both and try to make them compatible?

Thanks!

Great plugin! I will prove this

Unfortunately this does not work very well with wordpress 2.01. The nesting works but we are unable to change the nesting levels option

Editormonkey 2.4 WYSIWYG plugin (http://www.rajprasad.net/plugins/editormonkey/) and Brians Threaded Comments 1.5 have a problems with working together. If you try to comment an existing comment the textarea moves under this comment, but clicking on the "Add Comment" button doesn't work. If you try reply the post (when textarea isn't moving) the "Add Comment" button works fine.
Editormonkey doesn't modify the comments form, it just replaces the textarea with a rich editing text area.

I'm looking into doing my own version of a nested comments plugin. Do you mind if I start with your own plugin and modify from there? I could even add my own extension cleanly, as an option in your own plugin, if you're interested.

So does this plugin work for 2.0.2? If not are there specific hacks to make it work?

I noticed that the comments.php file doesn't check to see if the blog requires a login to post comments; it displays the input form either way. It won't show the "reply to this comment" if it is required, though.

Also, if I am logged in, it still shows the Name,Email,URI boxes instead of just showing "logged in as USER".

I've corrected it, and it seems to be working on my site. I'd like to send you the diff, if it would be useful to you. What's the best way to do so?

Great plugin, btw. I appreciate the effort you've made… It works beautifully.

Hey, nice script. I tried installing it at my site (Wordpress 2.0.2) and I got the following parse error, just using the general comments.php you provide.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/shallow/public_html/andi/wp/wp-content/themes/basic/comments.php on line 136
Have you any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks.

Fantastic plugin you have here. After a while's worth of editing I have managed to fully intergrate it with my blog and the OfficialComments plugin. I shall create a tag image and link back here straight away!

My only suggestion for a future improvement would be to limit the number of times "larger size" can be pressed. Or would that be pointless?

I suppose I had better install the comment subscription plugin now to get it all functioning fully.

Thanks again!

Thanks for this great plugin! :)

Hi,
After using BTC for a long time, I re-install all system. After that, when i try to activate this pluging all my site returns blank page. Any idea?.
Thanks

Hello,
great plugin. I can't understand why anyone would want to use the wordpress standard.

Just a quick question. I want to differentiate the border colourss between an original comment and a nested one. Maybe make it darker to show this is a seperate comment thread.

Also once you click on "reply to this" you cannot post an original comment. You have to refresh the page to do this.

Great plugin ! just, I installed it on my hosting DreamHost which has a "scricked-wrapped" (?) installation of WP 2.0.2, and I had the following error when trying to edit the options:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_shrinkby'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_shrinkby'' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_customtarget'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_customtarget'' LIMIT 1

So I edited the line 49 of briansthreadedcomments.php :

to

and after that everything is OK.

This may be a bug ?feel free to contact me for details.

Hi Brian,

I have used your plugin for a month or so, and it's great. When I saw Keyvan’s Paged Comments Plugin, I decided to combine the two. Trustin Lee made such a try, but I think the sturcture is not good.
So I did the work (really little work). You probably noticed the pingbacks above. I intended to write to you to know if what I did to your code violated your will, but no email info is found, so now I'm leaving a comment here. If There is any problems, please write to me :D
A question: what if a comment with replies is deleted? Did you consider that? I think the replies will not display, though they still exist in the DB. I just added a hook into delete_comment so that the replies get their parent's comment_reply_ID.

Sincerely,
Zhou Qingbo

Hi Brian,

I combined your plugin with Keyvan's Paged Comments plugin for wordpress to get a paged threaded comments plugin(little effort). And I noticed you didn't consider the case when a comment with replies is deleted, so I added a hook to delete_comment to handle this problem.
I didn't find your email information so I'm leaving a comment here. I want to express my thanks to you.
The page is http://www.qingbo.org/blog/?p=54

Sincerely,
Zhou Qingbo

When I try to change the max comments nested I have this error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]
SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_nestinglevels'' LIMIT 1

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'btc_shrinkby'' LIMIT 1' at line 1]

SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ''btc_customtarget'' LIMIT 1

I just installed the plugin and noticed that under my most recent "protected" post, it won't let me see the comments. It keeps telling me "Enter your password to view comments.", but I'm already logged in and it doesn't really give me an option for inputing the password anywhere. So I guess my question is, does this plugin work with password protected entries? I'd really like to see the comments =.

This plugin is very useful, I'll install it ASAP, thanks Brian.

Hi Brian, thanks for making this plugin. I've been using it for a couple of months already and I love it. =)

I recently placed comments in my Pages, though, and everytime anyone comments they encounter a pop-up which says that the div tag with the ID 'content' is missing, and that I probably altered the comments.php file that came in the zip file. When I checked the comments.php file though, the ID 'content' was still there. It works smoothly in all my posts, but that pop-up always shows up in the page entries. An example of that problem can be found ine this page.

Sorry for the bother, but I'd really appreciate it if you could shed some light on this. I'm not a skilled coder so I'm stuck. =/

Thank you! =)

Hi there!

I'd been using the threaded/nested plugins for a while and recently I decided to use a different theme. Obviously the comments form is very different from the default but still I switched the comments.php with the nested comments one (thinking of hacking the new theme's style into the plugin's comments.php file). When I switched the files the threads I already had seem to work OK and I can see them, but when I tried commenting on an entry I got an error I had never seen, which seemed like I was trying to send an empty text in the comment (not the WP default text, though). After some searching I found it's actually a message error in vSlider's theme.

I'll go about looking for the reason behind this but I was wondering if you'd ever thought of outlining instructions for integrating the threaded comments comment.php additions for those that need to make it part of the existing theme instead of replacing the file?

I understand this might not be easy or even feasible because all the layout that the plugin requires, but I thought I'd still ask.

This is tested and works. It's a simple way to collapse old comments..

Find:
include(ABSPATH . WPINC . "/version.php");
Insert after:
global $collapse_array, $collapse_age;
$collapse_age = 4 * 7 * 24 * 60 * 60; // Age in seconds before collapsing.


Find:
global $btc_cutoff_level;
Replace with:
global $btc_cutoff_level, $collapse_age, $collapse_array;

Find:
$odd = ($GLOBALS['__writeCommentDepth']%2? " odd" : "");
Insert after:
if ($collapse_age > 0)
if (strtotime($c->comment_date) + $collapse_age comment_ID;


Find:
<p><?php _e('No comments yet.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

Insert after:
<?php if (!empty($collapse_array)) {
$collapse_array = (substr($collapse_array, 0, 1) == ',') ? substr($collapse_array, 1) : $collapse_array; ?>
<!-- Begin Collapsing Old Comments -->

Hi!Thanks for this plugin,really useful!

A great mod. You should be rich and famous!

I would do flips in the air if this plugin worked for me. Unfortunately, in Tiga theme, it does not work. I even upgraded Wordpress to 2.0.4 and upgraded the Tiga theme. I continue having the same issue where the comment form and comments disappear. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I would LOVE for this plugin to work for me.

I am trying to active you plugin at my wordpress page but it just doesn't work. Is ther a file I need to rename or what do I have to do? The Install File I downloaded is empty :(

Let me tell you that I've been looking feverishly for this plugin, and now that I have it, I'm having (maybe not so) major issues.

1)Visitors may comment, but when they click on "reply", then "cancel reply", the original comment form mysteriously disappears.
2)When visitors click on "reply" after canceling, an error comes up and says something about "addcomment div" and that I might have edited the comments.php file. I did, to get the gravatar plugin working (and that was another problem of mine, but I got it fixed), but I uploaded the original, and it still came up with that error. It's sticking out like a sore thumb.
3) In IE (which is pukes by the way), the + and – images do not show up. Also when I click on them, the comments don't want to collapse.

If you need any more proof, you can click here.

Your download http://meidell.dk/files/briansthreadedcomments15.zip doesn't work – it says that the winzip file is corrupted. Can you email me the newsted comments for wp 2.0 or correct the file download? Thanks.

G'day, I'm using this with WPv2.0.4 and it works beautifully so thank you.
However a friend tried to download it and it seems to be corrupted. I gave him the files that I had but you may want to fix it. It seems to me that the briansthreadedcomments.php in the ..15.zip is corrupt and my machine told me something about binary, like whn I managed to open the file I couldn't save it because it was in binary.
Hope it's not too much trouble to fix :)

Yeah, my download was corrupt also. If anyone reads this and wouldn't mind emailing it to me, that would rock!

I'm having the same problem with the download like Kristarella and Shawn.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could email me the files as well.

Thanks in advance :)

I forgot to leave my email, heh..

This is a great plugin. Thanks!

Really great plugin! Thanks for the hard work!

Hi – great plug-in! The installation was successfull, however I've been experiencing problems with Internet Explorer. While the threaded comments works perfectly with Camino, FireFox etc, when the blog is accessed via IE - no comments appear.

I am running the most recent version of Wordpress as well as a modified Kiwi (http://no.oneslistening.com/?pagename=kiwi) theme – do you think this has anything to do with it? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks!

I just discovered that I have two check boxes for subscribing to comments. I'm totally weirded out because I certainly don't remember putting them there.
Does this plugin (which I'm using) come with subscribing mechanisms? If so are there preferences for them?
I also have Subscribe to Comments plugin installed.

Thanks for this info

Pimping my fotoblog I found this plugin. Actually I was looking for a possibility to me as an Admin to comment the comments in my blog – they are supposed to stick out from the other comments. Anyway – will use this plugin too – Thanks a lot.

Brian.
Looking forward to this plugin, but seem to have a small glitch at present.
On line 85 of comments.php, code reads"javascript:moveAddCommentBelow("div-comment-....".
But when the code executes, it appears in the page source as "javascript:moveAddCommentBelow(" div-comment-...". Note the space after leading quote mark. This seems to stop the hyper-link from executing.
Note similar code at line52 executes as intended (no space).

Ted
BTW, BTC=1.5.7 on WP2.0.4 on Apache 2.0.54/MySQL3.23.49 running on WinXP. This is development PC; but let me know I will put it into our web-based development version.

I've encountered a layout problem with what I assume is the textarea in IE. Everything works fine in Firefox. I have tried tweaking the css file and the code.php template to no avail. Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.

Wow this plugin works wonderfully! Do commentors receive email notices once a reply has been attached? If they do, that'd be awesome.

I highly recommend Dr Dave's Spam Karma 2. You are getting a crap load of spam on this blog, inluding the pingbacks. I'm subscribed to this thread, it'd be nice not to get all the spam emails. Cheers.

I noticed you have a "subscribe to comments via email" checkbox on your version here! How do I add on that to my blog? I added the plugin on already.

Hi – this throws up an error in WP 2.1 – I wondered if you plan to update it? Actually it seems to work OK but throws a warning…

Thanks :)

This might be really silly, but my PHP is pretty poor. Under the original WordPress comment system, a registered user who was logged in was shown as such and didn't have to enter their name, etc. But when I installed the ThreadedComments plugin, the "Name (Required)", "Email (Required)", etc. boxes always appear, and are not auto-filled. It's a small thing but that was a convenience. Am I doing something dumb?

Hi Brian,

I am trying to make this plugin work for WPMU. I have changed the path (wp-content/plugins) to wp-content/mu-plugins in both briansthreadedcomments.php and comments.php. I can reply to comment but it does not seem to be nested. When I click on reply to this comment, the displayed form is nested. But when I post it, it becomes a new comment, instead of being nested. Do you know any tweaking I can do to make this work with WPMU?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Brian,

Does moderation work with this plugin?

I've set WordPress (2.1) to require moderation before showing comments, but your threaded comments plugin shows the comments immediately without going through moderation.

Is this normal?

My only comment is that it doesn't recognize if your already logged in (which means it doesn't work with the official comments plugin) add that feature in and I'd definetly use it

Brian
I can't seem to get your plugin to work. It's not throwing up any errors, but it's not showing the option to 'reply to this comment'.

Interestingly, you mention to backup wp-comments and wp-comments-post before installing. However, I don't have a wp-comments file to backup. I put your file in anyway. Is that the problem?

Thanks!

Hi Brian,
I see here http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165
that Michael is happy to include support for your Threaded comment plugin in K2, but he's waiting to port your code to K2.

How about it? Seems like the K2 user community and the Brian's TC community need to be divided as they are.

(if you reply, please do so by email as I'm not likely to be checking replies here in the blog. Cheers.)

Great plugin – I just fired it up on my blog but a quick question. How do I control the format of the date and time stamps associated with the comments?
