I'll look forward seeing what you can make of it. I am sure it'll look better than I ever intended :)

Incidentally, is my blog also not remembering your name/email/uri?

Hi, this is a ace plugin thanks! One little note though, the comments posted using your replacement scripts seem to bypass the wordpress moderation to automatically displayed the comment but the 'comment' count is only updated once moderated. This could prove a little troublesome for me who suffers from those pesky comment spammers. Thanks once again though for this!

Hello, thanks very much for this much needed plugin. However, when someone replies to a comment and its waiting for moderation. The following error comes out.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/kelvinw/public_html/journal/wp-content/themes/default_allsidebar/comments.php on line 128

Hi, I tried out the plugin but it seems each of the comments, atleast those which were posted before the plugin was activated, show up in an inline frame of their own with scroll bars and such which is quite ugly.

This is from Firefox 1.0.6 on Linux. I will check it on windows too but could you check it up and see what the error could be?

It looks to be a great plugin once I can use it ;-)

Thanks

hi brian, i personally like your plugin..

but the problem is.. im using a custom theme.. when i replace my comments.php with yours.. everything seems out of place.. i am aware that its is for the kubrick theme..

is there anyway u can use the comment class from the style.css.. so that it goes with any themes.

if not, is there anyway you can show us.. like what to change or what to replace in our comments.php..

hear from u soon..great job btw.. :)

oh and btw… its doesnt works to when u sign in.. eg if ur sign it.. it will appear our username instead of the form.. so that we do not need to fill up the form again… erm.. take a look at the default comments.php for ur reference if u dont get what i mean…

No, I am sorry, but work is taking all my time these days. It might be a while, but I have been wanting to take a look at this for a long time.

Well I just installed the plugin along with the ScriptyGoddess plugin and it looks great. I really liked the fact that it had the ScriptyGoddess compatibility built in like that. I just love it when great coders make their plugins work well together. Thank you for going that extra mile.

I'm having quite a sense of Deja Vu right now, I think I've posted about this before but I don't see my comment here. Anyway, I'm using HashCash to fight spam, as I find it quite effective, and I would love to use your plugin but it doesn't work with HashCash. Is there any chance the two could be made compatible?

Comment by Brian Meidell
2005-09-03 08:24:48

It's possible that I've accidentally deleted it, if it was the only legit comment among a huge spam barrage. Sorry, if that's the case.

I'll put it on my todo list and see when I can get to it.
Thanks for reporting it.

Hey Brian, great plugin. I'm trying to use it with a theme that has a black background, and can't seem to figure out where the background color comes from. All the other settings are correct—text and links look right, but the background is white. Could you (or anyone else) please point me in the right direction?

Do you know the DOM Inspector in firefox?
That's a great tool to figure out stuff like that.

Hi Brian, i am having the same problem. Unfortunately, i do know where the color comes from (as i am sure you do too)—> it is stored as inline-css in the plugin-code …
I have not yet figured out a way how to overrule that. The only option i now see is extracting the inline css, and move it to the style.css ?? This would allow me to change it in the different styles/themes i am trying to offer on my site. Or would placing in the "comments.php" be more appropriate ? This would also allow easy overruling per theme.

Any hints ?

Kind regards, any it is a great plug-in, thanks !! ;-)

I love this plugin, but have a problem that I don't see listed in these comments.

On the very first comment for any post, when it is submitted it displays this error box:—-
Brian's Threaded Comments are missing some of the elements that are required for it to function correctly.
This is probably the because you have changed the original comments.php that was included with the plugin.
These are the errors: – The div tag with the ID 'content' is missing
You should compare your comments.php with the original comments.php and make sure the required elements have not been removed.—-

However, the comment posts just fine.

This occurs in IE, FF and Konqueror and it's only the first post for a given entry. Every other comment after the first posts just fine.

Any ideas what's up with that?

Thanks!

Jon

Yeah, I happen to have the same issue. I'm on IIS, think that might be a factor? We're also using a variant on the Flex theme.

This plugin is great. It happens to conflict with SecureImage a bit. The conflict makes SecureImage not return it's graphic.

SecureImage

Brian's Threaded Comments and SecureImage plug both use ?image= in their scripts. I ended up altering the code for Brian's to use ?btcimage= instead and my problems went away.
I may alter the SecureImage code to use ?siimage= as well to help reduce further conflicts.

Thanks for the outstanding plugin!

I have a trouble with your plugin.
When clicking "Cancel this reply", the comment box disappears.
I think this has something to do with reroot.
I've checked my file and the original file, but there looks the same.
Can you help me out?

Brian, I have a problem though. I installed the Scripty Goddess plugin and some people that comment on my blog have been getting ALL the comments(from other people too). Is it a problem of which box they check or is it a conflit between those two plugins?! I don't know what to do to change it. Could you please let me know what's wrong?
Over there, in my comment box, you see: Subscribe to comments via email AND Subscribe to comments (Email field must be filled in). Thanks a lot, hope you reply.

just a quick question…how can i get rid of that popup telling me about the comment.php file div tag missing? The comments are working fine, I just want that alert to go away.

Open the briansthreadedcomments.php file in a text editor and remove any line that looks like this:

alert("whatever text here");

Hi there! I really love your plugin since I want to be able to reply to comments, it's more like a guestbook thou.
I wonder if there is any way to highlight the author/admin comments? The hacks I've found aren't compatible with your hack/plugin :(

Great work! :D

Comment by Brian Meidell
2005-10-23 09:37:06

Thank you. Point me to one of the plugins, and I'll try to make it work with it.

Hey Brian, I really like your plugin and I see a lot of it in other people's sites. Thing is when I tested it out (unmodified), I cant actually leave a comment because the "Add comment" button won't work. I'm basically an idiot about these kind of things. Have any idea?

I love this plugins so much (I even change a theme to make it real support it :P), but now i got a problem, i would like to use it with Andrew's Edit comments, but it seems threaded comments are missing the code .
Do you know how can i make it work?

How 'bout Author Highlight? I can't get that to work with BTC - though, fankly, your plugin is so awesome I can sacrifice that…

Jon, Shelly, Holocron and anyone else who is getting the error about the missing 'content' div tag. (See Jon's comment posted on 2005-09-22 02:34:29). I also had this problem. What i did was just trick the script into thinking that the content div was present. The reason why I was getting this error (I think) is because I was not using the default Kuberic theme that was assumed that was being used.

"Please note that the comments.php file is made so it fits with the default Kubrick theme."
(From the install.txt that comes with the plugin).

So the comment would work but an error would be thrown. To solve this I put

at the end of the comments.php page. This way the script found the content div tag and would not throw an error. It works perfectly now….Brian if this is not the correct fix please let me know.

I'm having the same problem as Wonny (above). I can click to reply to any comment, but when i cancel the reply the form disappears instead of going back to the bottom of the page. If i try to reply to another comment after that i get the alert stating that the "addcomment" div can't be found. I don't know how to fix this. I've tried using the original files straight out of the plugin with the same results. I've obviously altered another file that is affecting the plugin, but i don't know what. Please help.

I have a strong suspicion that threaded comments in it's current form doesn't work out of the box with the latest wordpress release.

I am going to look into this asap.

Great plugin. I just installed it today and was testing it out. Everything seems to work great. The only thing I noticed is that if I delete a parent comment, the children are all removed from the post, but they are still counted in the Comments(#) for the post.

So the comments aren't really gone, they just aren't appearing anywhere.

I have a WordPress blog and I have been looking for a way to both display an image in the comments field while also allowing comments to be made on that comment. The threaded comment plugin appears to be perfect but will it allow for static url img files to be displayed? Please help me.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for a great plugin. It's a great feature for community building – readers really seem to love it.

I'd like to give you some feedback, however. Right now that little image for "+/-" is inflating the stats because it needs to pull that image with each pageload. So, I've had to take it off (which pains me). Is there any possible way to mod this such that it does not inflate the stats?

Thanks!! arieanna AT b5media DOT com

Hey nice work.

But I have a small problem when I was using it.
Apparently, when I have your comment.php active, comments don't work at all.

Any idea how to fix that?

 

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
