WP Ajax Edit Comments

WP Ajax Edit Comments (for WP 2.1+) allows users and admins alike to edit comments on a post. Users can edit their own comments for a period specified by the admin, and admins can edit all post comments. What better way to show reader appreciation than letting the readers edit their own typos?

For a demonstration, please check out the videos below:

Demo

Several demo videos can be found here.

If you are using this plugin for the first time or upgrading, please be sure to test out various characters unique to your blog. This is especially for those using non-English languages. This plugin needs to also have mb_convert_encoding enabled. Version 1.13 has an option in the admin panel to disable this, but you still need to test various characters.

Installation

  1. Just unzip and upload the “wp-ajax-edit-comments” folder to your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Customize the CSS in the ‘wp-content/plugins/wp-ajax-edit-comments/css/editComments.css’ file.

Usage

For admin…

Simply hover over a comment in a post and click. The comment will load, and from there you can edit the comment. If you click “Save” without editing, an error will result. This is normal since the comment hasn’t been changed.

You may also delete a comment or mark as spam from a post as well. If your theme is compatible, a short deletion animation will show showing that the deletion was successful. If your theme isn’t compatible, the deletion will be successful, but no visual clue will be shown. If the deletion or spam marking is unsuccessful, an alert box will display.

You can edit global admin options by using the Options->Ajax Edit Comments panel. If you can configure individual admin options in the Users->Ajax Edit Comments panel.

For non-admin users…

If you are a user, leave a comment. You may edit for a specified amount of time (set by admin). If your comment is in moderation and you decide to edit, your comment will disappear from the page on the next refresh. If the admin has the option enabled, your comment will be re-checked for spam.

Customization

You can adjust the appearance or color of the highlight and user messages by editing the supplied css file called “editComments.css”. This file should be in your 'wp-content/plugins/wp-ajax-edit-comments/css/' directory.

You can also customize other various options by digging through the code, but such changes are not encouraged or supported. Use the admin panels.

Special Thanks

An extra special thanks goes out to Vivien from Inspiration Bit. Without her, this plugin release wouldn’t have been possible. Brett Terpstra from Circle Six Design helped fix a rather major bug as well during testing. Thank you Brett.

Bugs/Support/Feature Requests

This plugin is provided as is, but I will try to answer most of your questions in the comments. Please open up a support ticket in the WordPress Support Forums and comment here with a link to the thread.

Several users have had character encoding issues. Ideally all blogs and backends would be in UTF-8. With v1.1.1.0, hopefully all character issues have been resolved, but this may be a little unrealistic. I will try to help people out on a case-by-case basis for non-UTF-8 blogs, but having a character encoding different from UTF-8 seems to cause a lot of issues. If you do install this plugin on a non-UTF-8 blog, make sure to throughly test out the plugin on various characters.

I’ve had reports that this plugin will not work with PHP 4.3.7 or the Konqueror web browser. I am currently not able to test the plugin using that PHP version or the web browser. If anybody has access to test and can offer suggestions as to what might be wrong, it would be much appreciated.

Another thing to note is that if you edit a comment/author details and save without changing anything, an error will result. This is not a bug. This is just WordPress being smart enough to know that nothing has changed when updating the database.

Incompatible Plugins

The following plugins cause issues with WP Ajax Edit Comments

  • The Comment Luv Plugin
  • Any plugin that posts comments via Ajax and doesn’t require a page reload. An example plugin is JQuery Ajax Comments.
  • Any plugin that loads jQuery improperly without queuing it with WordPress.
  • WP PostRatings on ISO-8859-1 blogs. Characters load and save incorrectly.
  • Google Ajax Search

Since the plugin requires JavaScript and the DOM (Document Object Model), Ajax-type posted comments will not be editable until the user makes a refresh. Future versions may allow hooks for other plugin authors to tap into, but this plugin is so early in its release that this isn’t a possibility quite yet. For now, those that allow Ajax-type posted comments will only allow the comments to be edited as admin.

    Hi !

    This is a really great plugin !!

    Unfortunately, I have a problem, maybe specific to my blog.

    My blog is in French and, each time someone edits a comment, there’s a problem with accents.

    Don’t know if the problem lies with the plugin : I recently migrated my database and had to force the appearance of the text. Do you have any idea ?

    The person who helped me told me to add to wp-db the following lines :

    “mysql_query(”set character_set_results = ‘utf8′;”, $this->dbh);
    > mysql_query(”set character_set_connection = ‘utf8′;”, $this->dbh);
    > mysql_query(”set character_set_client = ‘utf8′;”, $this->dbh);”

    Do you know if I may had this somewhere in the files ?

    En passant je vérifie si ça se produit ici aussi.

  • koz says...

    http://www.koztoujours.fr

    I have also some difficulties to edit my comment here : is it because you have a pre-moderation mode ?

    I just wanted to add that the problem shows up here too.

    koz,

    I’m not sure what you’re after, but I updated or read from the database on these lines: Lines 236, 256, and 196. I’ll try to look into it this weekend and see what I can come up with. Thanks.

  • koz says...

    http://www.koztoujours.fr

    Thanks for your reply. I’ll try to be more clear.

    - when people type a comment, there’s no problem;
    - the plugin seems to be ok, as people can edit;

    but

    - when the comment is edited, it replaces accentuated characters in words with a symbol (as for an encoding problem).

    - I’ll make a try here : merci à Ronald Huereca pour la rédaction de son plugin (a é è ç)

    And I duplicated the text: merci à Ronald Huereca pour la rédaction de son plugin (a é (I edited here)è ç)

    Seems to be working. I’ll go ahead and release it.

    Ok.. Version 1.01 is released. Should fix those character bugs Koz was talking about and also makes an error when a comment or author is blank.

  • koz says...

    http://www.koztoujours.fr

    Hi. Sorry for this but it does not seem to fix the problem.
    It may be a stupid question but as some plugin authors sometimes make the “mistake” : are you sure that the link points to the new version ? On the admin panel, it is still a v1.0 (unless you have not modified this).

    I make the test another time, in order to see if the problem occurs “with me” and not with you.

    Merci à Ronald Huereca pour la création de son plugin (é è à ç) é è à ç

    So it’s ok on your blog.

    Two possibilities :

    - I am the one who has a specific problem
    - You have the new version, and not me

  • Kirk M says...

    http://just-thinkin.net

    I’ve waited for something like this but I’ve encountered one problem. When I use contractions such as can’t or won’t and attempt to edit the comment, saving the edit returns an SQL error that I’m using the wrong syntax. I’ve also noticed that using contractions and trying to edit and save on this site does not work as well with the “save” button text turning gray saying the save failed.

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't blame you any. Funny as it sounds though, the crew at Wordpress.org decided ' at line 1]

    Once I delete the contracted words, the edit saves with no problem. Any ideas? This problem would discourage readers almost immediately since most people us contractions.

  • Kirk M says...

    http://just-thinkin.net

    I’m having problems with the edit function not working when contractions are used in the comment like can’t or won’t. when saving an edit it returns an SQL syntax error:

    “WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 't blame you any. Funny as it sounds though, the crew at Wordpress.org decided ' at line 1]”

    I also noticed that editing a test comment on this site also fails when the comment contains contractions (save button says edit failed).

    Any ideas on how to fix this? I’d love to use this plugin but just about everyone uses contractions.

    http://www.devlounge.net

    @Ron, that contraction problem is happening for me too. You can post a comment, but once you go to edit it, even if you don’t change anything and a contraction is there, the “saving fails”.

    FF 2.0.0.3
    Windows XP

    Edit: Lol, although oddly enough, I got that same error on your test page, but when I edited this with “don’t” already being in there, it worked fine.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Please keep in mind that if you hit “Save” without changing the comment, an error will result. This is because WordPress failed to update the database because nothing changed.

    Really interesting, I like it. As there are a lot of sites that already load prototype.js for other purpose (lightbox, ajax search etc…) maybe you could make a trimmed down version of your script, using prototype’s Ajax class ?

  • Jaypee says...

    http://drivebyshooter.net/

    I have the same problem Kirk M has - entries with contractions fail to save.

    I’m running FF 2.0.0.3 on Win XP. Running WP 2.1.2 (If I’m not mistaken) for my site. I’m not sure what other information you might need, but you can contact me via email or through my site.

    Thanks!

    note 1: I also edited this comment just to see if I encounter the same problem here.

    note 2: No problems here, and there’s a contraction up there too. I guess it’s something on my site?

  • Bes says...

    http://thereasoner.com

    Ozh - interesting question. I will let Ronald answer that. :)

    Luis - it’s interesting that the contractions-problem isn’t affecting you on this site. I wonder why it even exists in the first place. It could greatly depend on the mysql version being used the the WP version also. However, since Ronald is a pro at this and I am simply a commentor [lol], I will wait for Ronald to throw in some official light on this.

    Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of WP? I think that may not be the reason [the latest version is 2.1.3 btw], and I also do not think that the browser version you use [FF] affects this. Do you know what version of MySql you have for your site, and what version of PHP?

  • fmf says...

    http://www.fmf.it/blog/

    I just installed on my blog, but I see an awful behaviour: when I place my mouse over a comment it starts to blink.
    Can’t understand why…

    Also, I changed the css style in editcomment.css to

    .editComment {
    clear: both;
    display: inline; // add to display the comment near the really big comment number
    }

    but the few time I could edit a comment after pressing save the property was override by the element.style to

    element.style {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    }

    causing the comment to go under the big number.
    You can check an example at http://www.fmf.it/blog/2007/04/12/solo-per-la-cronaca/ (sorry, the blog is in italian….)

    An exceptional plugin that show how complete plugins should be made!!

    I guess WP.org, should think about implementing it in a future release.

    One question/suggestio…

    I also use http://jowra.com/journal/2007/01/wordpress-plugin-jquery-ajax-comments/ which is very usefull (Ajax commenting). When posting a new comment, I do not see the EDIT COMMENT line of your plugin. I need to refresh the page.

    It would be great if you could make it work with JQuery Ajax Comments flawlessly…

    Ronald Huereca says...

    Alex,

    I am aware that Ajax-Posted comments are not editable without a refresh. To make my plugin and the others compatible, I would have to add JavaScript function that the plugin author would have to call. I have not received any correspondence from any plugin author wishing to make their plugin compatible, but it is something I am open to.

    I’d want this, but….

    (since I changed the markup of my comments.php, the plugin I was using wouldn’t work properly)

    ….I’m not exactly a fan of anything AJAX. I’d want all the users, javascript enabled or disabled, to be able to edit their comments.

    Good work though. :)

    Is there really no way? :( Damn… Downloaded Your plugin from wp-plugins.net. It doesn’t say anywhere there about compatibility. I’ve spent several hours adjusting both Yours and WP-Grins plugins’ output and only now have found out that they aren’ compatible… :((((

    Could people with WP Grins installed elaborate on what exactly is wrong? I tested both plugins locally and after editing, the smilies are still showing.

  • Hairgel_Addict says...

    http://www.loleg.com/blog/

    I’ve tried searching support forums for that & only found “kinda” similar topic about WP Grins conflicting with LiveSearch Plugin - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/110663?replies=4

    There’s something wrong with their forums today. Just to be safe a copy of that short thread:

    alexkingorg: Does LiveSearch user it’s own Prototype or the one included in WP? WP Grins uses the one included with WP.

    stane: LiveSearch uses it’s own Prototype

    alexkingorg: That’s probably the issue. You recommend to the LiveSearch developer to use the built-in version to avoid these conflicts.

    So i guess some “problem”, cos i’ve noticed that your plugin also uses it’s own Prototype…

    Hairgel_Addict,

    I’m still not sure what the problem is. I got both WP Grins and the Ajax Edit Comments plugin to work on a local install. Is WP Grins just not working, or what? What are the errors if any? What is the desired behavior that is not happening?

  • Hairgel_Addict says...

    http://www.loleg.com/blog/

    Sorry for all the commotion :oops: uploaded fresh copies of both plugins & everything is working! Totally my bad, I guess I’ve screwed up the code of one of them… Sorry for wasting your time with my lameness :(

    Jeriko,

    Thanks for the heads up.

    All,

    Several have expressed annoyance regarding admin editing. This feature can easily be turned off by going to Users -> Ajax Edit Comments. There you can configure several options, including turning off comment editing for yourself.

    Hi, I tried this plugin but I seem to have a screen layout/formatting conflict. With plugin activated, if post content doesn’t extend below the lowest element in right-hand sidebar, the first comment fills the difference with empty space. Hard to describe, so I put a screenshot here: screenshot. The problem might be in my template or layout, but I figured I’d check here. Thanks!
    (Update) Actually this might be an “admin” artifact. When I log out and reload, I see “normal” formatting…

  • Bill says...

    http://radioactivejam.com/blog

    Just wanted to let you know - the response from my readers has been strongly positive, and I share their happiness and enthusiasm. Other than the strange 1st-comment formatting I see as blog admin, the plugin simply works and works well. Thanks!

    Ravi Udeshi,

    I’m assuming you’re referring to HTML and other code. The edit portion should show exactly what was typed in, including code. If you were to edit a comment as admin, you would see the same thing using the WordPress admin panel.

  • johno says...

    Great plugin and a great idea. Thank you!

  • Ravi Udeshi says...

    http://www.raviudeshi.com

    I think I figured out why I was getting that extraneous code you can see in my previous comment. Evidently Proxomitron, an adblock-via-proxy program if you will, was what was messing it up for me.

    Other than that, all looks good!

    PS. Yep, all good after a post-submit checkup!

    archard,

    I do not. To be honest, it hasn’t been tested with 2.0.x, so you are welcome to try it out. If you get it to work, let me know.

  • archard says...

    http://www.gametabs.net

    I have actually. All works well until it’s actually time to edit the comment. When you click on the comment to be edited it stays stuck on “Loading comment…”. Nothing is returned.

    Any ideas on how to modify it to work? I’m using 2.0.10 by the way.

  • Steffino says...

    http://gedankenhabitat.de

    hi there - i like your plugin, but there’s a problem about the german umlauts äöüß.
    when editing a comment they are displayed (and saved) as ‘mysql-code’ (things like Ã, ¤ or ¼)

    do you have any idea how to deal with this?

    EDIT: i dont know why, but on your site it works correctly..

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Steffino,

    That’s a bug I can’t quite figure out. It may not be the plugin. It might be MySQL settings, WordPress settings (are you using UTF-8?)… This seems to be a rare problem on an install-by-install basis. If you can figure out what’s wrong, please let me know. Right now, I’m clueless as to what is causing it.

  • Steffino says...

    http://gedankenhabitat.de

    yes, utf-8 in wordpress. database has utf_unicode_ci.
    i’m using wordpress 2.2rc2 - maybe problem will be gone when using final german version…

    seems like the content of the mysql-field is shown in the edit-field without any changes (where Ã, ¤ or ¼ should be converted to ä, ö ü etc.)

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    WordPress 2.2 was just released. We have it installed here. Ã, ¤ or ¼ should be converted to ä, ö ü etc.

    Edited.

  • preckie says...

    nice plugin, but will it work with wp2.2? will be finding out soon!

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    preckie,

    See Incompatible Plugins above in the post. Any plugins that posts via ajax is incompatible, including the one that you mentioned.

    The plugin still works, but you need to refresh to edit if you are non-admin. You’ll still be able to edit comments as admin, however.

  • preckie says...

    http://www.mangledcorpse.com

    i tried this out, and it works great even if ajax commenting is enabled. refreshing the page is a minor issue compared to having typos seen by everyone. what id did you use for the submit and cancel button, plus the input boxes for URL and name? i really want to change the way the look. thanks so much for the wonderful plugin!

  • Steffino says...

    http://gedankenhabitat.de

    yes, it should be converted - but it doesn’t (still with 2.2)

  • BMBull says...

    http://www.bearmountainbull.com

    A very nice piece of work - and very useful.

    Just a couple of remarks:

    1) The ‘clear: both’ styling messed up my theme a bit. It was easy to change in the ‘editComments.css’ file, but there is a hard-coded ‘clear: both’ in the ‘addCommentDiv’ function that I had to change as well. It would be nice if that piece of styling were in the editComments.css file too, to avoid having to change the ‘code’.

    2) While we’re ‘customizing’, perhaps the little message displayed “You may click…” could be customized in the admin panel too.

    Just thought I’d mention those couple of nit-picky things that I dealt with. But a very nice plugin!

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    BMBull,

    Thank for your suggestions. Those will all be implemented in due time, but right now there are other things I need to finish first such as a redesign for this site. 1.061 has its problems, but it’s pretty stable for the most part. The next version will get a nice JavaScript overhaul, so it’ll be a perfect time to make some changes.

    Once again, thank you for your suggestions.

    preckie,

    The input boxes and such are inputted using the javascript file. The file is called wp-ajax-edit-comments.js. Edit at your own risk though :)

    Bill posted on the 10 and 11 May how his screen layout went weird; can I suggest he follow the instructions of BMBull, posted on the 16 May. I had the same problem, so I made changes as BMBull suggested (thanks BMBull), and it fixed the problem - here are the details of the changes I made:-

    edit to line 56 of ‘wp-ajax-edit-comments.php’:-
    style=”clear: both;”
    changed to
    style=”"

    also
    edit to stylesheet ‘editComments.css’:-
    comment out 2 lines as follows;
    line 7 /* .textComment { clear: both;} */
    line 11 /* .editComment { clear: both; } */

    Note: This edit removes large space appearing above comment during edit period, and when logged in as Admin, large space appearing above first comment during edit period.

    Hope this is of some help.
    Great plugin! Thanks Ronald.

    Ronald, I was just informed of this and tested it, that this no longer works in IE 7 on my site. Have you had other reports of failure with IE? I just recently (within the week) updated to 1.065 from 1.061. Could that be part of it, I wonder? Still works great in Safari, Firefox (Mac), and Firefox (PC). Still really happy with the plugin.

  • christian says...

    http://asteeg.net

    First of all, I want to say that this is a great plugin. I just want to suggest that there should be an option where when it’s activated, visitors who posted a comment can only edit their comment, and not their name and URL. I also want to suggest that you put a countdown somewhere in the message that tells you that you can edit your comment so that visitors can have an idea how much time is left to edit their comment/s.

    Thanks

    FYI: WP Grins does work just fine with this great plugin. I have been running the two together for about three months.

    I have a feature request: After editing a comment, any links get tagged as NOFOLLOW. I have disable the NOFOLLOW tag (so have a lot of WP users) on my blog. Can you mabey add a checkbox to the options page to enable/disable NOFOLLOW?

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Saman,

    I originally had a NOFOLLOW feature in the plugin before it went live as a 1.0 version, but I took it out since WordPress was overriding my attempt. I’ve come to the conclusion that a NOFOLLOW feature is above and beyond the scope of the plugin and there are many capable plugins out there that do the same.

    1.1 should be out shortly, and I think you’ll be impressed with what’s in there.

    Louis,
    Seems like the Holy Grail bug. I’ve never been able to duplicate it, but I know it exists. Not sure what causes it to occur though.

    Dave,
    Plugin should work on *most* templates. Doesn’t look like your problem is template based. Simonne (one of the 1.1 testers) couldn’t get it to work either. For some reason, the cookies were not being read correctly, even though there was a perfect match.

    Can you edit as admin though?

    I was not able to find a fix for this bug unfortunately.

  • Louis says...

    Well, I’m happy I found the Holy Grail! ;-)

    I would really appreciate help on this though, all is well (everything works) when I login as admin, yet when I use this as a user, I don’t get the highlighted edit box, the div names don’t even change - and I haven’t yet seen the countdown.. Active now on my website:

    Simonne (one of the authors here) experienced the same you are during testing. She could edit as admin, but not as a user. She allowed me to test as admin, and I still couldn’t figure out a fix. The problem was with the reading of the cookies. Even though they matched perfectly, the test was still failing. I’ll try to download your theme and test it locally, but might not get to it right away.

    so if you want to continue working on finding the source of this problem just so no other themes will experience similar bugs I think that’s worthy of your time :) But just to say that I appreciate your help and that mine is no longer an urgency at any level. But I will sure switch to this plugin when the solution is found :D

    Excellent plugin, but it breaks my slimbox. I think it’s a mootools - jquery conflict. Any chance of a mootools version…? I have no idea if that is even possible though, forgive me.

    Since WordPress is moving to jQuery, that’s what library I decided on. I do not plan on using a separate library for future releases.

    It works great for me, an admin! But whenever I try to post a comment (not logged in - just as a guest), it don’t let me edit the comment. Do I have to put some special code thing into my comments.php file?

  • Aurelia says...

    I would only like to say I have pop-up comments. Maybe that’s the clue…

  • Ben Margolin says...

    Sorry, didn’t open a ticket at wordpress since I don’t see how to do that in the forums, and I didn’t get the impression you meant open a trac ticket. Anyhow, this is a fantastic plugin and I’m really grateful for it, but I think this is not playing nicely with the ‘recent comments’ sidebar widget. I think it’s attempting to add some ajax goodness to those comments, when it probably shouldn’t, which screws up the sidebar display.

    @Aurelia,

    If you could please let me know what theme (with a link) you are using, that would help out. Pop-up comments don’t seem to work also. It’s usually only the ones shown within a post that work.

    I responded to you via e-mail. I hope I wasn’t marked as spam. Please let me know if you received it.

  • Aurelia says...

    That’s really weird that pop-ups don’t seem to work, because people don’t have problem with it and leave me comments.
    And I’m using my own theme which I can’t give you direct link to, because of my server (no hot- & directlinking).

  • Aurelia says...

    I have just noticed that the plugin works on normal comments page, but it seems not to with pop-up comments. Why is that? Is there a way to fix that?

  • NP says...

    Hi. Great use of AJAX on Wordpress, however, there seems to be a little issue with Latest Comments.

    The span tag creates a white block around the Author’s name, and messes up Latest Comments on the Sidebar.

    Example here.

    I thought that by disabling Author Field Editing this would be ‘fixed’, but that option is not avaiable so far.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    But it has e bug with WP 2.2.2.
    I updated to WP 2.2.2 and now the plugin doesn’t work anymore… :(

    @NP,

    Can you also send me a code sample of your sidebar with the plugin installed. Or perhaps you can give me a link to the widget/plugin you are using. I’m also sending you an email from my gmail account.

    @GJ-tje,

    Tested on a few other 2.2.2 blogs. Not sure what the issue is. Anybody else having issues with 2.2.2?

  • GJ-tje says...

    What kind of details would you like to have?
    I only have the error that the updating of the post (via your plugin) has failed.
    As far as I know, I haven’t changed the code of the plugin.
    I deactivated this plugin for the time being and activated a AJAX preview post plugin, if you would like me to test some things, let me know, than I’ll switch with the plugins… :)

  • pelf says...

    Hi Ronald

    The “admin” functions are all OK. I could Edit, Delete and mark a particular comment as spam. I can also edit the commentator’s details by clicking on his name.

    But I wanted to see if it works for my readers. So I logged out and tried. But no luck, everything looked like the plugin was never installed. Am I missing something here? There is only one control panel, isn’t it? Under OPTIONS > AJAX EDIT COMMENTS.

    I’d like to invite you to my blog to test a comment. I have the plugin installed and activated. Thanks :)

    Hi Ronald,

    Is it possible that your latest version isn’t compatible with other plugins? Such as ’similar posts’?

    I’ve installed and activated ‘edit comments’ on my WP 2.3 blog, and whilst the admin panel appears fine, there’s no option to update the comments in posts.

    Not sure what the issue is, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    I’ve seen this plugin in a blog working well and decided to put it in my own. But it won’t work. When I leave a comment, it is shown as “Anonymous”, without time and date, and without the comment. But it’s stored to the database, and I get a mail to moderate the new comment.
    What may it be? I’m running WP 2.3.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Markus,

    We’re running 2.3 here also. I went to your blog that you provided in the URL and noticed Ajax Comments installed. This plugin isn’t compatible with Ajax Comments.

    Other than that, I’m not sure what the issue could be since this plugin doesn’t choose how the the comment is actually displayed once the comment is posted.

  • Markus says...

    http://blog.cowboy-of-bottrop.de

    OK I’ve deactivated Ajax Comments. Now there is nothing shown after sending the comment as guest. If I log in as admin, I can post comments.

    As admin I also see the links to edit and delete. But trying to edit a comment gives an error: Failed to load the comment. The same Error occurs in admin panel.

    For usual I have to moderate a commenter’s post just the first time he’s posting. With your plugin activated I have to moderate every comment posted by a guest.

    Hi, thanks for this great plug in, but I probably have a similar problem like Koz described above: When editing a comment, all special characters (German umlauts like ä, ö and ü or the double arrow left/right » etc.) are converted into strange other chars and have to be re-edited. Is there a possibility to make the char conversion work correctly when editing a comment?

  • Daniel says...

    http://www.strengejacke.de

    Strange, when I try to edit my comment here, all a, ö and ü appear correct as a, ö and ü in the edit window. But this doesn’t seem to work in my blog, though I have version 1.1.1.4.

To be honest, I’m afraid to change anything regarding encoding because this configuration seems to be working the best for most people, but will try to work with you.

    Lise,
    What theme is it? If you could provide a link, I’d appreciate it. Also, if you don’t mind, I’ll go ahead and place the French translation files in the official release do a 1.1.1.5 release. Let me know if that’s okay.

    I worked on a dev version that kinda re-does the whole charset for Ajax Edit Comments. If you like, please try out a developmental version: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-ajax-edit-comments.zip

    If it works, I’ll put out a new release with a caution to always test out various characters since this is a big departure on how characters used to be handled.

    Lise,

    After doing some testing, it appears the char problems don’t have anything to do with my plugin. It seems to be an issue with the theme since it uses Ajax posting and assumes a certain charset in the back end of things. I disabled my plugin and still got the same issues you described in Safari.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Alright guys and gals. I released v1.1.2 today. I re-wrote char handling, so “hopefully” this works for the most people. I tested it on various charsets and back ends, so if anybody has an issue, please tell me what charset you’re using for WordPress and what the charset is for your MySQL back end.

    Also, be sure that your DB_CHARSET in wp-config.php is empty.

    Hi,
    after I have deactivated “AJAX Comments” and “Live Comment Preview”, WP AJAX Edit Comments works fine. But I got a caching problen in firefox, so that I have to clear the chache and reload the page to see my just written comment. It’s Firefox 2.0.0.9 on a Debian system, also a fresh installed FF on a Win XP machine.

    I think that I have found a bug… When you have a comment with smileys like:

    ****
    Paragraph 1 :-)

    Paragraph 2
    *****

    And you edit it with your plugin, it appears like this:

    ****
    Paragraph 1 :-)
    Paragraph 2 Modified
    *****

    The line break is lost. You can only fix it using the internal Wordpress editor or writing a dot after the smiley like in:

    ****
    Paragraph 1 :-) .

    Paragraph 2 Modified

    It would be great if could fix this :-)

    However, I have discovered a conflict with another plugin:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-navigation-list-plugin-navt/

    The Ajax Edit Comments plugin keeps working, but the NAVT wont work anymore… Any thoughts?

    I am asking the same question on that plugin author’s site…

    Thanks…

  • Greg says...

    http://gbellucci.us

    Please CORRECT this plugin.

    Your plugin subscribes to wp_admin_head() and adds a jQuery script statement to every back-end administration page - including the NAVT List page created for the NAVT plugin. Acting on the wp_admin_head() hook without first determining the page that is about to be displayed is, for lack of a better phrase, a ‘poor programming practice’.

    Adding the jQuery script statement BEFORE the NAVT PLUGIN is able to add the prototype.js script renders the NAVT plugin unusable. I would go so far as to say that this practice of adding your header information to all administration pages would interfere with other plugins. I’ve had two complaints that your plugin and mine do not work together.

    Please FIX it.
    Thanks

    I will try to fix this plugin, but I’m not here to serve your plugin. And the tone in your comment leaves me little incentive to put this high on my priority list. And calling me a “bad programmer” doesn’t exactly make me want to help you.

    But alas, you have some very nice users and I will try for them.

    Mr Papa,

    LOL. You got it before I had to chance to make a reply :)

    The problem wasn’t with my code, so there could be a chance the NAVT plugin won’t work in the future with other plugins.

    In the navt.php (under the apps folder) there is a function called ‘register_scripts’.

    Changing the code in the function allowed the two plugins to work together without me having to change anything on my end. But I made the changes anyway to avoid future conflicts.

    Here’s the code I changed in the navt.php for future reference.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Elmar,

    2.1 introduced many hooks that this plugin currently taps into. As a result, a 2.0 version wouldn’t be feasible. The core of this plugin is JavaScript, and 2.1 introduced a JS queuing mechanism that 2.0 simply doesn’t have.

  • omo says...

    I just found this plugin a while ago and I was impressed, and went to put that on my own blog. Problem is a lot of comments on my blog are long, and it’s easy to click on them accidentally, or finding yourself unable to click on a link in the comment because it would edit the post instead. Is there a way to turn off “click on post to edit”? There are already buttons for editing below the comments anyways.

    If not please please please add it somewhere.

    Frank,

    mb_convert_encoding is required to be installed for this plugin to operate. It looks like you need to ask your host to install it for you.

    Hi there! I’m using this plugin. The admin part works like a charm, but the user one doesn’t work. I’m using WP 2.3.2. What’s the solution???

    Hi,
    I wish you a happy new year.
    Thanks for this new version.
    I cannot update the translation into French. If I use “update from the source”, Poedit “freezes”. I tried with the ajaxEdit-de_DE.po file, but I cannot open it, I have the message “Failed to convert file to unicode”

    Great plugin! However, I’d like to be able to set it to work without cookies for logged in users, so that they can edit their comments for an unlimited time period. Any clues on how to do this?

    Hello, I’ve got a problem here..
    I don’t know why it happens like this, I tried it at my pc, it worked fine, but at my site, how come it shows up error, but it already edited though.
    it says, “Fatal error: called to undefined function: mb_convert_encoding in …. line 576″
    How should I fix this?
    It does edited, but it appears this as well

    Thank you very much

    Hi there.

    I cannot seem to get this working with the spanish text messages. Time is displayed as (x minutos and x seconds) instead of (x minutos y x segundos) whatever I try.

    Were should I change the locale parameter so as to fetch the correct translation?

    Thank you.

    Regards.

    Hi Ronald

    Like Christian on 2 June 2007, I’d also like users to only be able to edit their comments and not their names or websites. I run a site where you have to be registered to comment, and where it is important that people only comment under the name they have registered with. I think they are far less likely to change this on their profile page than on a comment.

    Is there a part of the wp-ajax-edit-comments.php I can delete or modify to prevent them from doing this? If so, could you be very specific with line numbers and the code text to change, as I’m not very experienced with php.

    Also, is there a way to make the text in the editing box bigger when a user is editing their comment? Or is this basically just what Ajax makes things look like?

    Thanks

  • Simon says...

    Oh … found it. Looking in the wrong place.

    Simon,

    To customize the edit box, please edit the CSS file that comes with the plugin.

    To disable URL editing in version 1.1.4, go to line 198 and add:

    return $text;

    Please note that this will also disable URL editing for admin.

  • Simon says...

    http://publicreason.net

    Great — thanks Ronald.

    My lines 197-98 are:

    function addAuthorSpan($text) {
    global $comment;

    so return $text; should go after global $comment;?

    I would never have figured that out.

    @Simon,
    It can go before or after. I’ll add that onto my feature queue but no promises on when/if it’ll be implemented.

    @jl,
    I wasn’t able to reproduce the error regarding seconds or second not being segundos or segundo. What version of Ajax Edit Comments are you running? I looked in the localization file and both are translated correctly (although other things aren’t translated at all).

  • Simon says...

    http://publicreason.net

    Thanks for your help Ronald. I made some changes to the css and it looks good.

    I would also suggest perhaps consolidating the individual users options under Users into the general options page under Options, since one only really wants to look in one place for all of the various controls for a plugin.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Simon,

    The user options are needed separately because some blogs have multiple admin/moderators (such as this one). Each individual admin can edit their own options without interfering with others. I can explain that in the demo videos.

  • Simon says...

    http://publicreason.net

    Oh, ok. I’m a sole admin, so that wouldn’t have occurred to me.

    I cannot edit user comment.

    I trying to post comment to my blog but this plugin “see” me like im not the admin.

    *sorry my english is not so good

  • David Roberts says...

    Disable mb_convert_encoding?

    Some servers do not have this installed. If you disable this option, be sure to test out various characters. The mb_convert_encoding function is necessary to convert from UTF-8 to various charsets.

    I do have mb_convert_encoding installed but I would like to understand just what this is doing. I use UTF-8 encoding on my db and in WP, so would this mean that it facilitates converting non-UTF-8 characters to UTF-8? I mainly want to make sure that, if I turn this on, it won’t pass non-UTF-8 characters to the db.

    Thanks.

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    David,

    The mb_convert_encoding mostly has to do with non-UTF-8 blogs. When AJAX characters are passed (no matter what charset), they are interpreted as UTF-8. So if someone has a non-UTF-8 blog, this is problematic and the characters get misinterpreted when they are read into or out of the database.

    If you have a UTF-8 blog and backend, this character encoding issue should be a non-issue. However, since people have had char problems in the past, I encourage testing of various characters in the blog’s language to ensure that no problems exist.

    The PHP function mb_convert_encoding does a good job of converting between charsets, which is one of the reasons it is encouraged to be installed.

    I hope that answered your question.

  • David Roberts says...

    Thanks much Ronald, I’ll turn it on and see how it works out!

    Hi ! Many thanks for this amazing plugin ! GREAT !
    Tested and works fine for me !
    Ah ! I have an idea… Do you think that it will be possible in the future to add an option to add few words in the comment after the edit ? An option similar to some forums…
    As : “This comment was edited by ***** on Feb 05th 2008, time…” Could be useful ;) Thanks again !
    Cheers !

    Hi! Thanks for the awesome plugin. Makes readers happy ^^

    Anyway, I have a problem (and I realize you must get that line a lot). For some reason, edited posts are missing all plus signs (’ ‘) originally in them. I’ve tried activating and deactivating mb_convert_encoding, and my blog works in UTF-8. Any ideas?

    Thanks again ^^

    EDIT: Ah, it does it here too! There was a plus sign inside the quote signs up there.

    Nosgoroth,

    It does it here too. I’ll have to see what the problem is. I doubt I’ll get to it soon since I’m in the middle of things, but I’ll try to keep my eye out for a fix. I have a feeling it has to deal with URL encoding or something like that with AJAX.

    You forgot to mention you need the < ?php wp_head(); ?> trigger.

  • Post Author

    Ronald Huereca says...

    http://www.ronalfy.com

    Dan,

    Most themes should have the wp_head hook in there as a default because so many plugins hook into it, especially those using CSS.

    If you don’t want to use the wp_head hook, you are free to add the plugin styles into your default stylesheet.

    Thanks for your work.

    I’ve modified the plugin to only load the js and css if it can actually be used. I.e. if comments are open for the page/post and it already has one or more comments. This speeds up page load a bit for new posts.

    I’ll post the edits on my site if anyone is interested.

    Hi there,
    I’ve just downloaded your plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be working I can’t edit, delete any of the comments, I’ve already enabled the mb_convert_encoding but still nothing. Any thoughts? I would really like to use it as it’s just wat i need :)
