Introduction

This has been a long time coming and I am happy to announce the release of Sexy Comments v1.4! With this version comes a lot of changes...so be sure to read the installation section! Along with simple optimizations and general restructure, the following features are now available:

Feature List

  • Ajax comment preview (new feature)
  • Author post highlighting
  • Avatars
    • Either display/hide avatars
    • Select your avatar service of choice (Gravatar and MyBlogLog options are available)
    • Specify maximum avatar dimension (Gravatar Only)
    • Customize default/trackback avatars
  • Comment Reply-To (new feature)
  • Comment Themes (new feature)
  • CSS overriding
  • "Number of Comments" message customization
  • jQuery inclusion toggling

Installation & Upgrading

  1. Download Sexy Comments v1.4 from the WordPress plugin directory
  2. Unzip that little sucker
  3. Place sexy-comments folder in your wp-content/plugins directory (it should look like this: wp-content/plugins/sexy-comments/
  4. Log in to your WordPress plugin admin page and activate the plugin.
  5. In the plugin admin page, click the SexyComments sub-menu.
  6. Customize the settings until you have something that works for you.
  7. Locate your theme's template file that displays comments (typically comments.php). Remove the comment output loop and replace with:
    PLAIN TEXT
    PHP:
    1. <?php sexycomments::show($comments); ?>

  8. If you plan to use the Ajax features or the Reply-To features, you will need to do two things.
    1. Enable jQuery and jQuery Form Extension via the Plugin > SexyComments administration page.
    2. Locate the template file that contains the comment submission form (typically comments.php near the bottom) and replace that chunk of code with:
      PLAIN TEXT
      PHP:
      1. <?php sexycomments::form(); ?>

    NOTE: Be sure not to touch the section that generates the form for adding comments! This plugin does not re-create the comment creation form.

  9. Lastly, consider disabling the plugin CSS and taking the example CSS provided and customize it to suit your theme's color scheme.
  10. You should be all set, now! w00t w00t! Go make a MyBlogLog or Gravatar account if you don't already have one and upload an avatar. Gravatar tends to be pretty flakey so I'd suggest using MyBlogLog.

FAQs

  • Q: What is this "comment loop" you speak of?

    A: Ah, yes. That thing. Well, its anatomy looks similar to this (there will be some variation from theme to theme):

    PLAIN TEXT
    PHP:
    1. <?php if ($comments) : ?>
    2.     <!-- some HTML is typically here -->
    3.  
    4.     <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    5.         <!-- the output HTML of each individual comment -->
    6.  
    7.     <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
    8.     <!--...more HTML -->
    9.  <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    10.     <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    11.         <!-- typically a blank area or a place with a comment -->
    12.      <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
    13.         <!-- closed comments section -->
    14.     <?php endif; ?>
    15. <?php endif; ?>

  • Q: Ok...so I just upgraded to a new version and there is nothing in the SexyComments admin page...WTF?

    A: Yeah. Sorry about that. In this version, the directory structure has changed drastically and Sexy Comments should no longer live in wp-content/plugins/sexycomments.php OR wp-content/plugins/sexycomments/sexycomments.php, but instead it should be in wp-content/plugins/sexy-comments/. Make sure that the plugin is in the correct location of your plugins directory.

  • Q: What happened to sexycomments_print($comments)? I used to use that to get my comments to display...will it still work?

    A: Along with a directory structure overhaul, this version had a large code overhaul as well. The old function (sexycomments_print) is deprecated but will still work for the time being. I greatly urge you to move over to the new function call sexycomments::show($comments) as that is the new *impoved* function.

    I had the plugin working great until i updated today. now i get a message that says The SexyComments Theme used to render comments does not exist or it has not yet been initialized.

    however, there`s nothing in the drop down menu for the theme.

    Lon, the problem you are referring to is due to the fact that you have sexy comments in a plugin directory like this: wp-content/plugins/sexycomments

    Change the folder name to be: wp-content/plugins/sexy-comments

    just to update so you can debug. I’ve got the right folder. I believe i had it before, i was using 1.2 just fine. I believe when i did the first the upgrade the first time, i saw a note in the plugin admin page that said that it had initialized. but obviously according to the my comment pages, it’s not.

    I’ve tried deactivating, and re-installing the upgrade. still the same issue. and i’ve tried downgrading and re-upgrading, and i still get nothing under the drop down menu for choosing the ‘comment display theme’. I’ve tried editing folder permissions, disabling other plugins, still no luck.

    someone else on the wordpress forums seems to be having the exact same issue as well, so it’s not just an isolated incident with me. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/128685?replies=4

    anyhow, how that helps us all. peace.

    Hello Matt,
    I'm running into the following three difficulties:

    1) The avatars will only show the default.

    I'm registered at mybloglog.com. My avatar is uploaded, accepted, and shows up on mybloglog. On my site, the default avatar image properties shows: http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=http://www.RealLiberalChristianChurch.org&n=
    On this site (borkweb.com), the avatar images show http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=http://www.borkweb.com&n=
    When I post this comment to your site, I will be interested to see whether my avatar shows up properly. If it doesn't, I would assume the problem is with some setting at mybloglog. If it shows up all right, then the problem is on my end with my blog, correct?

    2) The Ajax features didn't function.

    The link showed up all right for Comment Reply-To; however, clicking on the link did nothing. I tried it in Firefox, Opera, and IE. It was the same in all three.
    The button showed up for Comment Preview, but clicking on it did nothing.
    I disabled the Ajax features so as not to frustrate any visitors to my site.

    3) Regardless of the default image I try to use, it still shows the same image.

    I didn't have this happen before the upgrade.

    I've left the avatars enabled, because I considered that there might be a delay at mybloglog in rendering them.
    If I can't get them to work, I'll be disabling them of course, which will defeat the whole purpose of using the plugin.
    You may see the avatar that renders here.
    Your assistance in this will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    sorry to be taking up so much of your comment space, but just to update… i had the wrong link last time with the person who had an identical error as me.

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/128567?replies=5

    also i’ve recently upgraded to wordpress 2.2.2 and disabled all other plugins and still experience the same lack of a drop down menu in the sexycomments plugin admin page.

    I think i might need to disable this for now until the issue is resolved. thanks for your efforts in looking into this in advance! peace.

    After some research myself, it does. But i think there is some error in your code for email. It should be

    $avatar = “http://pub.mybloglog.com/coiserv.php?href=” . $url . “& n=”. $name

    And for $name part is not defined. It should be your screen name use for mybloglog. Now the question is how you capture that?

    Hey, I notice now there is a bug on your site same as mine when using IE 7. You can see the bio column but not the comment column. I mean the comment text, comment count etc in the comment column. This happen in the previous version too. This only affect the in the page template. So what i do is i added this tag inside and it works. It solve the problem but i doubt is the right way.

    I mean the php comments_template(); tag in the page template. Sorry I do not know to write tag inside your comments as it will disappear. I added div class=”entry” to resolve that problem of mine but i doubt it is the most accurate way. Anyway it is a great plugin. I really appreciate ya work =)

    Hello again, Matt,
    Thank you for fixing the avatars.
    I see that the "Reply to this comment" and "Preview" features are working on your site. They don't work on mine. I've left them enabled so you may see that the link and button both show up fine. Any ideas?

    Tom-
    It appears that your site is redirecting the call to jquery.js and jquery.form.js to the homepage of your blog. See here. Make sure that you have the following structure [wordpress_home_dir]/wp-includes/js/jquery/

    In that directory should be 3 files: jquery.js, jquery.form.js, and interface.js. If those files do exist there, there must be something in your site (maybe a .htaccess rewrite rule) that is causing the redirect.

    Hope this helps you troubleshoot the problem.

    Hi Matt,

    That subdirectory was missing. Fortunately, I have a mirror on a personal server I was using for testing. As soon as I uploaded the subdirectory, the comments started working as advertised. Thank you. Good job!

    Hi Matt,
    The pingback/trackback gif wasn't rendering at http://www.realliberalchristianchurch.org/wordpress/?p=434#comment-8. The URL for the image is: http://www.realliberalchristianchurch.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sexycomments/images/trackback.gif
    You will notice that the path contains "sexycomments" without the new hyphen. I hyphenated it in sexycomments.php, but that didn't help. I turned off and emptied my browser cache just in case, but that wasn't it either.
    My workaround was to create a sexycomments (non-hyphenated) subdirectory next to the sexy-comments (hyphenated) subdirectory and copy over the image subdirectory from sexy-comments to sexycomments. That worked fine.
    Hope this helps you with your next release.

    Hi Matt,
    The options page says, " Default: http://www.realliberalchristianchurch.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sexycomments/images/default.gif&quot; and "Default: http://www.realliberalchristianchurch.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sexycomments/images/trackback.gif"; however, the textbox does allow one to hyphenate sexycomments, which causes the gifs to show properly from the default subdirectory.
    It was that language ("Default: http://www.realliberalchristianchurch.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sexycomments/images/trackback.gif&quot;) that threw me off originally. I just went with it before I noticed you had done the hyphenating.
    Again, I hope this helps you.

    I love the plugin, but I can’t seem to get v1.4 to work, due to the reasons i’ve listed before. I’ve downgraded back to 1.2 and everything works fine. I was wondering if there was an even more optimal version before 1.4 was released that I could download…? 1.3x? much appreciated. and thanks for all the hard work.

    It’s a great plugin but I’m a little disapointed with the fact that we can see in clear the mail of the user that post the comment. Is there any way to got information from mybloglog by another way (like login?).

    Another thing, how can we fix the size of the avatar pics for having exactly the same width in any case (with mybloglog, without picture, without mybloglog account?).

    And a big thanks for this great plug-in!

    Hi there !

    Thanks for this great plugin : this is what I’ve been looking for a while !

    However, just one thing. I can’t seem to be able to install it ! Yeah, you can laugh at me no problem ;-)

    I located the beginning and the end of the comment loop thanks to your FAQ, but if I delete it and replaced it by your php as said, I get an error message. Obviously, there’s something I do wrong here…

    Would you lend me a hand ?

    Hey, thanks for the awesome plugin! Works very well and was much easier to install than some.

    FYI though - you’ve got a conflict with the Wordpress OpenID Plugin. I don’t think anybody’s using it on my site, so I’m going to disable that so I can use yours, but you might want to look into it for your next update. Here’s the error I got:

    Warning: main(Auth/OpenID.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hostgigi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-openid-plugin/Auth/OpenID/Consumer.php on line 167

    Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘Auth/OpenID.php’ (include_path=’/home/hostgigi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-openid-plugin;.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/hostgigi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-openid-plugin/Auth/OpenID/Consumer.php on line 167

    As with all these plug ins, they simply removes my comment form altogether. By now, I’m simply going to have to accept that avatars are an impossible treat ;)

    In the code the avatars are linked to …./sexycomments/….
    but your folder might have the name …/sexy-comments/…

    that was my mistake ;)

    Use MyBlogLog because Gravatar goes down very very often. In fact, I wouldn’t doubt it if that is your problem.

    Hi,

    I can’t get this plugin to work. When I try to activate it I get the following fatal error: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in *\wp-content\plugins\sexy-comments\sexycomments.php on line 822″. Line 822 corresponds to end of file. I tried also older versions of this plugin with no success.
    I am using the new wordpress 2.3.1, may this be the culprit?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have posted a comment before but somehow it didn’t get added. Anyway, I wonder how you make the “reply to this comment” thing work because you have to enable jQuery in the administration panel but there’s no way to turn them on. Could anyone please help?

    just to update so you can debug. I’ve got the right folder. I believe i had it before, i was using 1.2 just fine. I believe when i did the first the upgrade the first time, i saw a note in the plugin admin page that said that it had initialized. but obviously according to the my comment pages, it’s not.
    I’ve tried deactivating, and re-installing the upgrade. still the same issue. and i’ve tried downgrading and re-upgrading, and i still get nothing under the drop down menu for choosing the ‘comment display theme’. I’ve tried editing folder permissions, disabling other plugins, still no luck.
    someone else on the wordpress forums seems to be having the exact same issue as well, so it’s not just an isolated incident with me. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/128685?replies=4
    anyhow, how that helps us all. peace.

    nice

    Hey there, I really appreciate you putting in the time for the plugin: I’m having several issues that are probably easy to fix

    I’ve manage to replace to comment output loop just fine.
    When it comes to enabling jquery and the form extension, I don’t even see those options, though i see these terms in the code…
    When you say “Locate the template file that contains the comment submission form” and replace with , does this mean from the to the end of it

    My avatar for bloglog isn’t showing and someone above said this: “In the code the avatars are linked to …./sexycomments/….
    but your folder might have the name …/sexy-comments/…”
    So do I need to go change the code?

    Any help that anyone can give me will be very much appreciated and thanks!

    I had to repeat part of my question…the rest should be above

    sorry, guess i didn’t realize what i could put in the textbox…

    When you say “Locate the template file that contains the comment submission form” and replace with php sexycomments::form(); , does this mean beginning from the form action tag to the end of it?
