Subscribe to Comments 2.0-beta-1

June 10, 2005

My Subscribe to Comments 2.0 has been officially released in “beta” form. A big thank you goes out to the many people who helped me troubleshoot the plugin during the limited alpha release for the last two months! The code is very stable now, and the “beta” designation is just indicating that I’m planning on active development and bug fixing (if any should show up) in the next few weeks.

Now that the plugin has been officially released, I’m going to submit it to the WordPress plugin competition, where I think it has a decent shot at the “Best Community Plugin” category ($500 prize).

    I’m having some trouble installing the plugin. First, my full url is http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/. I couldn’t tell fr. yr instructions whether I should install the wp-subscription-manager.php file in my public_html folder or in the folder above it. So I installed it in both (prob. not a good move). Based on my URL can you tell me which folder it should go into?

    After activating the plugin & refreshing I do see a Manage Subscriptions link (in the case of this post–http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/wp-subscription-manager.php?&ref=http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2005/06/muslim-americans-mention-the-word-suicide-or-visit-the-wrong-website-and-the-fbill-getcha/ . But when I click the link I get this error:

    404 Not Found
    The requested URL /tikun_olam/wp-subscription-manager.php?&ref=http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2005/06/muslim-americans-mention-the-word-suicide-or-visit-the-wrong-website-and-the-fbill-getcha/ does not exist.

    Based on this, do you have any idea what I’ve done wrong?

  2. Mark (post author) | June 19th, 2005 at 5:58 am:

    It should exist in the /tikun_olam/ folder. I can access it by going there manually. I don’t get a 404.

    Hi! I found a problem… I have installed Automatic WP Player 3.0 plug-in in my Wordpress 1.5 and after installing your plugin, when I go to the Manage Link, it does not let to me manage the Automatic WP Player anymore :-(

    I try de-activate your plug-in and the link to Manage the Automatic WP Player works again

    Please, help me…

    PD: The link from Automatic WP Player3.0 plug-in is: http://www.automaticjack.tv

    Daniel, you must upgrade to WordPress 1.5.1.2

    The bug you describe was a bug in WordPress 1.5

    thanks!

  8. Daniel Cáceres | June 23rd, 2005 at 2:51 pm:

    I can help you in translation to spanish

  9. Mark | June 23rd, 2005 at 10:12 pm:

    Orangeguru, a German translation would be great!

    Please see the Wiki page for info and the .pot file for translating.

    Daniel, someone has already submitted a Spanish .mo file, which you can download at the wiki page, but thanks for the offer!

  10. orangeguru | June 24th, 2005 at 5:17 am:

    Oke, I am on the case. Do german Umlauts like Ä, Ü, Ö and ß to be converted into HTML entities?

  11. Daniel Cáceres | June 27th, 2005 at 5:27 pm:

    I’ve been loaded the Spanish file, upload it in wp-content/plugins folder, but don’t work… I need change some code?

  12. Mark (post author) | June 27th, 2005 at 5:47 pm:

    Daniel, your files appear to be in the right place. Make sure you’re using the latest version: beta-2

  13. Daniel Cáceres | June 27th, 2005 at 7:27 pm:

    First! great plugin, really.

    But don’t know what i’m doing wrong, somehow i can’t translate the comment’s form to another language, everything looks fine in the manager but not with the comment’s form.

    i’m using an .mo file to translate. tanx

  18. Mark (post author) | July 5th, 2005 at 2:03 am:

    Vitor, the comments form is dictated by your theme, which may or may not have i18n support. That translation would take place in the main WordPress .mo file, not using the one for this plugin.

  19. Villas | July 5th, 2005 at 7:14 am:

    I dont understand this line from “subcribe-to-comments.php” in line 673:

    __('You are subscribed to this entry. Manage your subscriptions.’, ’subscribe-to-comments’)

    This “[manager_link]” link needs to be edited? going for nowere ?

    Thanks

  20. Villas | July 5th, 2005 at 7:35 am:

    What part of the code i need to change for the translation work ???

    I put the entries with _e() and __() in the main .mo file and translate with poedit sucessfully but dont work ?!?!!?
    The text apears no translated … why not??

    Thanks

  21. Mark (post author) | July 5th, 2005 at 10:25 am:

    Villas,

    [manager_link] will be replaced with the URI to the Subscription Manager. You can edit this text by going to Options > Subscribe to Comments.

    For your .mo file to work, it has to be named properly and placed in your /plugins/ directory. You also have to have defined a language for WordPress.

    For example, Spanish would be: subscribe-to-comments-es_ES.mo and your language would have to be defined in WordPress as es_ES

  22. Villas | July 5th, 2005 at 11:37 am:

    But man … its a lot of work … why not put the .mo file to the main .mo file in the languages?

    I dont know how its pssible but it is …

    Thanks

  23. Villas | July 5th, 2005 at 11:53 am:

    …and how i can subscribe without post ?? its possible??

  24. Villas | July 5th, 2005 at 11:49 pm:

    OK … done … works fine but the comment without post is the last i promisse ! how could it be possible?

  25. Mark (post author) | July 5th, 2005 at 11:54 pm:

    Villas, from the readme.html file:

    Optional: If you would like to enable users to subscribe to comments without having to leave a comment, place this somewhere in your template, but make sure it is outside the comments form. A good place would be right after the ending </form> tag for the comments form:

    <?php show_manual_subscription_form(); ?>

  26. Villas | July 6th, 2005 at 10:09 am:

    thanks …another one ..

    How you put that status:

    Bad Behavior has blocked 2338 access attempts in the last 3 days

    on footer of this blog?

    Its based on bad bahavior log?

    I have this plugin but i dont see how?
