Show coComments

Description

Show coComments creates an unordered list(ul) of your most recent comments on the coComment service. It is intended as a replacement for the official coComment blog box. It uses the blog box configuration of a user specified blog box to propogate the list and is capable of hiding commen text, displaying a link to your coComment RSS feed of either your comments or everyones comments on articles you have commented on, it can also display a header which is customizable.

Installation

Installing Show coComments is very straight forward if you are used to using WordPress plugins. Here are the basic steps to get it installed on your WordPress blog.

  1. Download and unzip the archive
  2. Use an FTP client and upload the showCoComments directory into the $WPROOT/wp-content/plugins/ folder
  3. Activate the plugin
  4. Alternatively you can activate the widget for use with WordPress Widgets

Usage

Standard Plugin

Using this plugin is just as easy as installing it, find the spot in your
theme where you want to display the list of coComments and add the theme tag
irgShowCoComments(), the plugin does the rest. You do need to
give the plugin your coComment username on the Show coComments options page
in the admin control panel.

Widget

Once you have activated the widget it will show up in your admin control panel
under Presentation -> Sidebar Widgets with the rest of your widgets. You will
need to configure the widget by clicking on the configure icon next to the
Show coComment widget. After that just drag it over to your sidebar and save
the changes.

Thats all there is to it. If you have any questions or find any bugs please leave a comment here and I will address it ASAP!

Known issues

  • Currently the JSON(P) implementation at coComment does not recognize box configuration changes and will always show the default coComment box, according to the dev’s this will be fixed with the next release of coComment
  • Currently relies on wp_head() to add css styling for the lists and coComment image link. This *MAY* not be called in your WP theme which would cause it to look different
