Extra Comment control

Posted on 27th Nov 2006 in : Plugins & Widgets

This plugin has now been released on AstonishMe, the download link has been amended to point to the relevant post

I decided to have a play with the comments hack I posted yesterday to see if I could make it a plugin .....

So, now you can download it here. Upload it, hit admin and install it, then mosey on over to the plugins settings page and see if they make sense to you.

This should work in all 1.8.x -> 1.9 series ..... and possibly 2.0 as well, but I haven't checked

Don't forget to undo all the hacks if you implemented them huh ;)

Currently comments have 3 options :-

  1. Open
    Everyman and his dog can read and make comments
  2. Closed
    Everyman and his dog can read comments, nobody (not even the dog) can leave comments
  3. Disabled
    What comments?

This plugin extends those options so you can specify exactly who comments are open/closed/disabled for. The choices range from anybody to nobody with several others in the middle

As soon as a certain unamed yank has done a fluffy write up this plugin will be released on AstonishMe

*edit*

This should be in the 'examples'

  • comments open read (anybody): everybody can read
  • comments open write (anybody) : everybody can write
  • comments closed read (anybody) : everybody can read
  • comments closed write (registered users) : registered users can write
  • comments disabled read (registered users) : registered users can read
  • comments disabled write (blog members) : blog members can write

Topanga

*edit*

The plugin now has the following available setting levels, they should be self explanatory. The zipfile has been updated

  1. Anybody
  2. Registered users
  3. Blog members
  4. Blog editors
  5. Blog administrators
  6. Nobody
