Subscribe to Comments 2.1

Subscribe to Comments 2.1 is a plugin that allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. It is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there for the simple reason that it helps foster a community around your blog by encouraging commenters to come back and stay engaged in the dialog.

Features

  • Rudimentary security
    • Users cannot enter a random e-mail into the subscription manager and modify someone else’s subscriptions
    • In order to modify subscriptions, users need to use a special link, given in notification e-mails, and printed in the comments form as long as they have their comment cookie
  • Recognition of subscription status
    • Unsubscribed users see the “subscribe to comments” checkbox, but subscribed users see a “Manage your subscriptions” link
    • The author of the post is recognized by either login or comment cookie and is assumed to be subscribed to the entry (as they will receive notifications through WordPress)
  • Themeable subscription manager
    • Uses visual style of WordPress interface
    • Can be optionally accessed via “Manage” menu in WordPress
    • E-mail verification of block requests
    • Javascript “invert selection” link to check/uncheck subscriptions for mass deletion
    • “Return to the page you were viewing” link that persists at the top of the page, so that users can easily return to the post they were reading once they are done modifying subscriptions
  • Ability to let users change notification e-mail address
    • In the subscription manager, users can request that their notification address be changed for all their subscriptions
    • Special link is sent to the old address for verification
    • Once clicked, their e-mail address will be changed instantly for all their comments
  • Easy integration into comments form
    • No modification of comments form needed for WP 1.5+ (supported themes)
    • For users who want custom placement of the checkbox/link to subscription manager, this can be done with one simple function call, placed anywhere in the comment form
  • Subscription without leaving a comment
    • By popular demand, you can now offer visitors the option of subscribing to comments on an entry without having to leave a comment themselves
    • If the reader later decides to join the conversation, their subscription continues without them having to explicitly set it
  • Customization
    • You can make the Subscription Manager that your users see use your theme’s header, footer and sidebar, using CSS to style it to fit your site
  • Internationalization
    • I’ve written Subscribe to Comments 2.1 with i18n in mind, making full use of __() and _e() functions. The domain is “subscribe-to-comments”.

Version 2.1 Update

Version 2.1 of Subscribe to Comments has a feature that people have been begging me to implement for many months: you can view the list of people who are subscribed to posts on your blog, and you can also see a list of the most “subscribed” posts. Also in this version is a new one-file install. You just put subscribe-to-comments.php in your /plugins/ directory, activate, and you’re done. This version will work on WordPress versions from 2.0.6 through 2.3.1 (highest tested).

Versions

  • 2.1.2 Fixed a few bugs that’d send bad notifications (thanks Donncha!), cleaned up some code and moved to using proper WP escaping functions
  • 2.1.1 WordPress 2.2 compatibility! Also note that support for attribute_escape() is needed, so if you get errors about that, upgrade to the latest version in your branch
  • 2.1 big update, fixing a few potential XSS holes, and misc error messages… see above for details
  • 2.0.8 XSS security fixes, hopefully fixed “+” symbols in e-mail for good
  • 2.0.7 additional “funky e-mail” fixes
  • 2.0.6 support for e-mail addresses with “+” symbols, option to disable CSS “clearing”
  • 2.0.4 potential security bugs, better WP 2.0 capabilities compat

  37. [...] WordPress DatabaseBackup插件可以解决你的数据安全问题。该插件可以设置每天或者每周自动备份WordPress数据库,可以选择备份到服务器、下载到本地或者自动发送到某个信箱,对于中文数据库的支持也很好。有了这款插件以后,你可以放心了,数据从此有了保证,不管遇到什么样子的问题,数据都可以及时恢复,是使用WordPress必装的插件之一,特别是现在有些朋友,使用免费空间,更需要这样的插件!2,反垃圾留言插件:Akismet SK2进入07年,博客的发展更为迅猛,日益成为人们沟通和交流的重要平台,特别是07年下半年,博客的价值已经被太高到史无前例的地位,而广告发布者自然是不会放过这样的好地方,一时间,无论是BSP还是单用户博客,防止垃圾留言成为了急需解决的问题,就连成年不更新的LBS也及时发布了一个针对垃圾留言补丁。而很多新手在开始写博客之初,博客的反垃圾留言的功能成为一个关键的参考点,作为一款舶来品,WordPress的反垃圾留言的功能得到了大家的认可,特别是去年年底,很多人都从其他的Blog系统转向WordPress,这也是一个重要的原因。WordPress程序默认自带了反垃圾插件Akismet,激活这个插件需要到WordPress.com申请一的API KEY才行。而且如果您的Blog在国内,也激活了改插件,那还无法使用的话,那就说明WordPress.com可以国内暂时不能访问,但防止垃圾留言一刻都不能停止,所以WordPress中文平台推荐给另一款强力反垃圾留言SK2,这款插件和Akismet相比,功能更加强大,可定制性也更强,不管Akismet是否可用,WordPress中文平台都首推SK2。3,搜索引擎优化:All in One SEO Pack现在写Blog,除了内容外,必要的优化也是必须的,同等质量的两个Blog,谁做的更符合搜索引擎的收录标准,谁就可以获得更多的流量,写Blog,相信很多朋友都还是很重视流量的,毕竟在使用Blog盈利的今天,获得更多的流量,就意味着会获得更多的收入。虽然Wordpress程序本身就很符合 SEO,但没有最好,只有更好。All in One SEO Pack就是一款让你的Blog尽量符合搜索引擎收录标准的插件。使用该插件不但可以在不修改模板的情况下对WordPress进行SEO搜索引擎优化,还可以给每篇页面添加独立的关键词和摘要,加速和优化Google等搜索 引擎的索引,使用这个插件可能会增加一些系统资源的使用,因此最好在静态化的WordPress下使用。4,Google Sitemaps:Google XML Sitemaps如果你的Blog新开,如果你暂时找不到友情链接,如果你的内容确实不错但搜索引擎总是不收录,那Google XML Sitemaps插件绝对是让搜索引擎收录你的Blog,并不断增加收录量的一个插件。有一个朋友做过测试,新博,没人任何的外链,使用的该插件,Blog第二天就被收录。插件在激活以后,会不断的自动生成XML  Sitemaps 文件,并将其修改到robots文件中,使搜索引擎快速索引你的博客,支持 Google、MSN、Yahoo。5,订阅评论插件:Subscribe To CommentsBlog除了内容,评论也是重要的组成部分,很多朋友访问某些网站可能不是关注新闻,就是想去看看评论,日志的内容代表了博主的思想,而评论则包含了众多朋友的观点,其中不乏有很多有价值的评论,比如著名的Blogger,Keso。除了内容精辟,观点别致的日志外,加上评论,你会有一种恍然大悟的感觉,这就是博客,一种完美的交互状态。名博的留言自然是多,但如果偶尔遇到的一个博客,在上面留言评论或索求什么的时候,难道每次都需要登陆该博客查看?Subscribe ToComments就是为了解决这个问题,你可以阅读留言,每次只要查看邮箱就可以知道是否有新的留言,当然,如果你仅仅只想看留言,使用这个插件也是不错的。相比之下,邮箱的使用频率应该会高很多吧,调查显示,互联网越发到的地方,邮箱的使用频率就越高,作为互联网人士,你应该不会只用IM吧!6,代码高亮显示插件:CoolCode写博客,或多或少的会在内容中加入一些代码,其实这样是为了分享,但如果这些代码的展示不规范,可能会给那些正在寻找帮助的朋友带来更多的麻烦,而这款插件就可以让日志中的代码用高亮的方式显示,WordPress中文平台经常会分享一些关于WordPress的小技巧,每次都设计到代码的分享,所以这款插件是必须的,如果你也经常需要在日志中分享代码,那也使用这款插件吧。7,相关日志插件:Related-posts这款插件的作用也是显而易见的,如果你还没使用这款插件,那么请在使用之后,把统计数据做个对比,你会发现,这是一款绝对必须安装的WordPress插件,就WordPress中文平台的统计数据显示,有高达83%的访问者并没有在访问一次以后立刻关闭网页,而是继续浏览其他的内容,相信很大一部分原因就是该插件,提高用户的黏性,绝对需要这个插件的帮忙。后记:推荐的插件不一定要有10个,推荐的原则是这些插件能确确实实能在功能上完善WordPress,而且插件的使用,我们一直的原则都是能少则少,毕竟会影响到WordPress的速度,但以上推荐的7个插件,都是玩WordPress必须的,从目前的情况来看,相信有些插件会被官方接受,而不仅仅只是一个插件!以上提到的插件,有些可以在WordPress插件基地里找到,并且有更详细的介绍和使用教程。目前没有的,我们会积极的完善,如果你在使用插件过程中有什么不懂的,欢迎访问WordPress插件基地,在那里,你将会看到最多的插件,和最详细的使用教程。原文地址:http://www.wopus.org/some-plugins-must-used-wordpress.html [...]
