Forget User Info

About

Forget User Info is a WordPress plugin that inserts a special link into your comments form that allows commenters to delete their saved info (their comment cookie). This is useful for people who comment in public places, as well as for shared computers, where someone else’s info might be filled in.

Download

Usage

Download, upload to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activate. If your theme is compliant, and contains the comment_form “hook,” it will display automatically (for users who have a cookie).

If you don’t have the hook, or don’t like the placement in your comment form, you may place it manually, by using the txfx_print_forget_user_info_link(); function. You may also pass a string to this function if you would like to customize its display. There are two special tokens you can use: %link% (the URI that will delete their cookie) and %author% (the commenter’s name).

Here’s an example:

<?php txfx_print_forget_user_info_link('<p>If you are not <strong>%author%</strong>, click <a href="%link%">here</a> to delete this info.</p>'); ?>

As long as this manual call is placed above your comment_form hook, it will override it. Basically, it will only run once, so whichever one (manual or automatic) comes first, will be the one that is displayed.

    Thanks for this great plugin.

    However, I just thought I’d let you know that it breaks HTML validness (validity?). I fixed it by running htmlspecialchars() on $link in the txfx_forget_user_info_link() link. :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for this great plugin. Its a very interesting and interactive one for the blog audience.

    Okay… I activated it for my blog, bit it doesn’t seem to be working fine.

    I also have ajax comments installed and digg style comment rating also installed. because of that i feel this isn’t working properly. Since i am using v2.0.5 and i believe my theme has comment_form “hook,” capability [because it worked for subscribe comments - it hooked nicely], it shoudl automatically insert, however it didn’t. so i tried to manually insert that tag but it still didn’t work.

    So i assume this is because of the two plugins i have installed above causing problems.

    Can you please help em with this?

    Thanks much
