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

This is a fix to move a categories children when you move the category. It should work in all 1.8/1.9 versions and is already fixed in 2.0

if( $Request->param( 'post_comment_status', 'string', 'closed' ) !== NULL )
