Anthology of Ideas

Have you upgraded to the latest version?

Can you get me a screenshot or do you have a test site where this is happening?

I’m wondering if there’s a bug with the Have Comments Open, and Have Comment Box Open? I can’t seem to get those two options to work. I’m gonna do some poking around in my theme, but for some reason they don’t open automatically.

I’m using Safari & Firefox to test. I’m on a Mac, OSX.4.9

Any ideas?

   If you want to use the AJAX comments on a single post page you will have to edit your theme’s single.php the same way you died to your index.php. Once you do that the options go into effect.

   There currently is no way to have them open by default on the index.php. Is this where you want them open?

      That is correct, I use a single page format that is the home page. I’m running into a couple of weird things now. I didn’t change the settings from where they were working, but now comments can no longer be submitted when INAP options are turned on (so I’ve turned them off and now I don’t have all the fancy stuff anymore, bummer). I can’t figure that one out.

      Also, I’m noticing the same thing someone else is noticing that the link to add a comment gets doubled up when the comment box is actually open.

         I’m not sure about the phantom errors most likely they are caused by your browser or another plugin, but to allow open comments on the home page
         Open: inap.php
         Find:|| (is_page() && $inapall['show_comments_page'] == 1 )
         Add After:|| (is_home() && $inapall['show_comments_single'] == 1 )
         Find:|| (is_page() && $inapall['show_addcomments_page'] == 1 )
         Add After:|| (is_home() && $inapall['show_addcomments_single'] == 1 )

         Now the Home page will use the same options as the single post page.

         Also, I’m noticing the same thing someone else is noticing that the link to add a comment gets doubled up when the comment box is actually open.

         That is a feature not a bug. Theoretically, users will line thier comment links up like mine, so the links always stay above the comments and add comment boxes. The extra link will allow the user to avoid scrolling back up to the top of the comments. Also, if you test it on my site, you will find that the add comment box will “jump” above and below the comments to the link that was clicked to open it.

         Aaron, thanks for posting that. I’ve made the changes it seems they’re in three spots for one. However, for some reason, the home page still doesn’t open the comments automatically. Any other ideas?

         Thanks.

Hi Aaron,

I think I found the issue, if it is one in the first place. In INAP Management, overall options, when I have “Use Options In INAP?” and “Use Simple Posts?” checked, I get the duplication issue. This is after I have enabled Prototype js., which is already part of my customized theme. If I unchecked “Use Simple Post?” the problem disappears. I guess maybe my theme may have some problems, I will play around more, I don’t think it is a bug wit this wonderful plugin, it is a problem on my side. I guess I posted it here to see if anyone else faces this… thanks again for the swift reply, buddy! Now that’s what I call support. Kudos, my friend.

i checkmarked “Show HTML in preview” but it’s still stripping my img tags. Therefore none of my images are showing. Is there a way around this?

Most likely this is being caused by something else. It is possible that if you are using a specific word count it may be trimming in the middle of the tag.

and it’s not because of my theme because using ‘default’ theme does the same thing. try it on any of your pages. i just installed a new fresh WP blog. the problem persists.

I don’t know what did I do or what INAP does, but since I installed it I don’t have SPAM.
May be two or three spam caught by Akismet in the beginning, while I was setting it up.
I’ve created custom inap-comments.php where the post form is missing, and in the admin settings I enabled the post form to show in the single page.
May be I did something else but it is more than week now I don’t have a single SPAM.
Or it could be my lucky week

To make sure I don’t use modified files, I uploaded the original 2.2.3 INAP files.
I still couldn’t comment.
I’ve downgraded to 2.2.1 and I can comment again.

Note that I did change only INAP files, and not even a line from my theme files.

I think I’ve broken the commenting on my site, click my name for the link. You need to register to post comments (for some reason, INAP doesn’t seem aware of this and makes it look like non-registered users can post anyway) but you type your comment and hit “Submit Comment” and the throbber appears then nothing happens - the post is still submitted but the page doesn’t update and you have to refresh to view the comment. Any ideas?

Matt

is there a way to change the plugin file itself to remove this odd html behavior? it was not present in your previous versions.

nevermind i did a quick find-and-replace in mysql. would you ever support frames with this plugin?

Very good.

Not too shabby for a guy that knows next to 0 PHP huh?

Yes, I do like it. I’m very happy that people (you) have taken advantage of the new add comment submit form to really integrate it in your themes. When checking to see what was breaking I had to check and make sure you were using my plugin.

Bravo.

Eventually, I may make a showcase for people who do a very nice job integrating it.

Seems the live preview shows the image but it’s stripped from the real comment on here.

Here’s the image:

http://images.captobvio.us/link.png

check whether a user is logged in or not before showing the add comments form

This is fairly easy.
Open:inap-get-info.php
Find:include ("inap-add-comments.php");
Add Before:

1. if (! is_user_logged_in() && get_option('comment_registration')){
2. $link = '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php" rel="nofollow">' . __('Login') . '</a>';
4. if ( get_option('users_can_register') )
5. $link .= ' or <a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=register" rel="nofollow">' . __('Register') . '</a>';
7. die( __('Sorry, you must '.$link.' to post a comment.'));
8. }
9. Use the following to copy and paste the code.
   if (! is_user_logged_in() && get_option('comment_registration')){ $link = '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php" rel="nofollow">' . __('Login') . '</a>'; if ( get_option('users_can_register') ) $link .= ' or <a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=register" rel="nofollow">' . __('Register') . '</a>'; die( __('Sorry, you must '.$link.' to post a comment.')); }

I considered adding it there, but the feature has been added to the main build (meaning next time you won’t have to make an edit) and it is a long block of text for people who don’t want it.

would you ever support frames with this plugin?

How so?

EliteTrackStar, it’s about 2 comments above yours The code is there for you to add and everything. It’s in use on my site in a slightly different way though, if you put it in your inap.php in the addcomments_link section it should do what you want, like on mine - http://captobvio.us/

Matt

You are quite welcome and it is no problem. Unfortunately, I have found that several different people can’t access the site, but I can’t figure out the cause.

Oh, that isn’t caused by INAP, but by the very nature of Javascript and the browser. The short answer is that browsers and Javascript are specifically built so you can’t interact with a site in a frame to prevent people from spoofing sites through the use of frames.

If you want INAP to work in a frame you will have to specifically include the Javascript within the framed page.

There isn’t anything I can do as a general solution without direct access to your site and doing custom work.

right now i’m using the scroll left feature. it’s quite nifty. i notice no difference whether or not i checkmark ‘prototype.js’. what does prototype.js do with INAP? scroll left feature still works regardless of prototype.js.

i’m not interested in using scriptaculous at this point. thanks.

Very promising plugin, thanks for all the great work. The following problem came up: when INAP is activated, all users have access to the password protected posts. The password protection seem to be stripped away.

We use the standard WordPress function for password-protecting each post individually - typing a password into the “password-protect box” on the right hand sidebar when writing or editing a post.

I use WP 2.1.3. Will try to get more information to figure out the cause.

I’ll need to know more details to figure out exactly what your problem is, but as a guess: the live comment preview only works automatically with the add comment box that comes with the plugin.

If you want to use it with your default theme you will have to edit your theme’s comments.php and replace your current comment box with:

1. <p><label for="comment_<?php echo $id;?>">Comment:</label><textarea name="comment" id="comment_<?php echo $id;?>" style="width:95%;" rows="10" cols="10" tabindex="4"
2. <?php if($inapall['live_preview'] == 1){echo 'onkeyup="inap_live_preview('.$id.')"';} ?> > </textarea></p>
3. <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit_<?php echo $id;?>" tabindex="5" value="<?php _e('Submit Comment');?>" />
4. <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
5. </p>
6. Use the following to copy and paste the code.
   <p><label for="comment_<?php echo $id;?>">Comment:</label><textarea name="comment" id="comment_<?php echo $id;?>" style="width:95%;" rows="10" cols="10" tabindex="4" <?php if($inapall['live_preview'] == 1){echo 'onkeyup="inap_live_preview('.$id.')"';} ?> > </textarea></p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit_<?php echo $id;?>" tabindex="5" value="<?php _e('Submit Comment');?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" /> </p>

Did you follow the instructions located on the official INAP page?

Questions are no problem.

It looks like your theme is missing <?php wp_head(); ?> in its header.

Open your theme’s header.php, find </head>, then add the code above to it.

Also, it looks like you are calling multiple functions to show your content. You need to use only one of the following: the_content, the_excerpt, inap_post, inap_excerpt, inap_content, doaction(’inap_post’). (I suggest using the_content or the_excerpt with simple mode enabled)

No problem. You are better off just using the_content, but yes, you must have wp_head() in your header. If you don’t, the plugin won’t have the Javascript it needs to run.

You can link directly to the files, but this is not suggested.

What browser are you using?

Do you have permalinks enabled?

regarding my previous message: I just noticed that it DOES work (and wow does it look great!) on my remote hosted webserver, so it must be a local apache/php/sql glitch in my WAMP setup.

Still confusing, but I can live with testing and setting it up on my host’s server. I am not an webserver/apache expert (to say the least, I got it up and running!), so will just accept it doesn’t work locally. The post might still be useful to others, but I am pretty sure ths issue is all on my side, so apologies for causing a stir!

Thanks anyway!

@Ronald

That is no problem. The first few test servers I set up were problematic. One time I forgot to turn on (and how to turn on) error checking so I would have to upload my files to the server just to see why they weren’t working.

You should try looking in your httpd.conf file to see if you have htaccess turned on.

@klaus

Unfortunately, I’m not sure what the cause is, but I’ll run some tests to find out.

ChiLyn, I had similar to your problems when I first opened phpNuke to make Truden Web Site.
Well, I had that problems for a very long time
Then I installed Apache server in my PC and started to experiment and learn.
Now even WordPress is not that difficult for me

Try to experiment with few different themes.
Try to play around with the code.
And in the same time try to enjoy it

Thank you! Much more informative.

At this point, I am inclined to believe it was a possible conflict with the ajaxy things already loaded into the theme, combined with previous plugin/theme problems leaving traces in my DB. I say this beacause, when I deleted everything and started fresh, things that weren’t working….. started. However, I haven’t had the chance to try INAP exclusively with another theme yet.

Thank you for your help! I now have a much better idea what “put them where you want them to go” means in respect to all of that other code.

Thanks again!

I’ve used moo.fx in the past; in fact, the original versions of INAP used it.

I’ve recoded the AJAX and effects script selector to make it easier to use, so it will be fairly easy to add new libraries.

This has repeatedly come up, but basically, there is no way to tell the other plugins that they should “do their thing” again when the entire post is loaded.

It is on my list of things to fix, but it isn’t easy.

The comments should work on pages. (This is a page) Make sure you have the option to “Have Comments open by default on pages” checked on the management page.

I’m trying to use the “load” feature and nothing is happening. I don’t know if this is an error or what. I did a refresh and still nothing.

   Thank you I fixed it.

Great plugin! But please fix the bug with Lightbox

I’m working on various incompatibilities. i hope to have some of them fixed in the next version.

   FYI: Another issue is with podpress. It doesn’t play the files.
