Hikari Titled Comments

Hikari Titled Comments plugin enables each comment to have a title, so that commentators can give a subject meaning to their comments.

Introduction

 

One of the best features Drupal has and I miss in Wordpress is the possibility to set title to comments.

 

With a title, we can identify the comment subject, it can be resumed to a phrase. Comments become more similar to articles and aggregate more value.

 

I like to see comments as mini-articles. The post being the main article and comments being mini-articles that extend the main one. Now with title, Wordpress comments are a bit closer to that approach.

Features

 

  1. Comments titles are stored as comment metadata.
  2. It's easy for themes to add support the plugin, being the support optional and when the plugin is not available the support just remains hidden.
  3. A simple function prints the comment title if there is one, or prints nothing if current comment doesn't have a title.
  4. Comments titles can be edited from admin comment edit page.

Installation

 

Hikari Titled Comments requires theme modifications to be used, unfortunately there is no way to insert titles to comments without editing the theme. But first let's install it.

It requires at least Wordpress 2.9 and PHP5 to work.

 

 

You can use the built in installer and upgrader, or you can install the plugin manually.

 

  1. Download the zip file, upload it to your server and extract all its content to your /wp-content/plugins folder. Make sure the plugin has its own folder (for exemple /wp-content/plugins/hikari-titled-comments/).
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress admin page.

 

There's no options page at the moment. You can go to Edit Comment Admin Page and try to edit any comment, and the title box will be there so you can add title to existing ones. But now it's time to edit your theme to have them shown and let your visitors set titles to their new comments.

Preparing your theme

 

There are 2 steps you do to add titled comments support to your theme. First you include the title to your comment building code, second you include an input text to your comment form so that users can submit the title.

 

 

First thing you must do is find your comment building code, your search starts in your theme's file comments.php. If you don't have experience editing themes, you may need help. The person who developed your theme is the obvious first suggestion.

 

Since Wordpress 2.7, themes use the function wp_list_comments() to print comments, with support to threads, pagination, etc. This function has a parameter called callback, that points to a theme function that has the comment code.

 

For exemple, in wp_list_comments('style=ol&type=comment&callback=prefix_comment'), the comment function is prefix_comment. Now you must find this function in your theme, I like to have it in comments.php itself, but many tutorials say to move the function to functions.php, just look around.

 

If your wp_list_comments doesn't have a callback parameter, you reached a dead end, your theme uses Wordpress's default code and it can't be edited. You'll have to design a comment layout for your theme to be able to give a title to your comments. It's not hard or complex, but if you are reading this and don't know what to do you'll need to read a lot and learn a bit before proceeding.

 

 

Ok, you've found your comment building code. There is no specific place to add a title to your comments, use your imagination. I like to see comments as mini-articles, or extensions of the post. Generally titles come on the top of the article, followed by the author and the article's date, and then the content.

 

Once you choose where the title will go in each comment, I tell you that not all comments have titles. Your old comments don't have, and commentators are not required to use a title (at least for now). So you must have in mind that a title may or may not be present, both layouts must look good and be XHTML valid.

 

The function you use to add the title is function hkTC_comment_title( $comment_id=null, $before=null, $after=null). If $comment_id is empty, it will try to find global $comment. You can also pass any text to be used before and after the title, probably some HTML tag to surround the title text, these string are not escaped so pass them in the final format they'll be sent to browsers.

 

If current comment has a title, the function will print echo $before.$comment_title.$after;. If it hasn't, the function will just return without doing anything. Here's the final code I use in my theme:

1
2
3
<?php if(function_exists('hkTC_comment_title'))
    hkTC_comment_title($comment->comment_ID,'<h2 class="comment-title">','</h2>');
?>

 

 

Nice! Your theme is ready to print titles to your comments, now you must let your visitors submit them! Your next stop is in your theme's comment form, also inside comments.php. Again, your creativity will tell you where to include the text field, I've chosen just above the comment textarea, with a header to say it's meant for the title.

 

There's nothing much to say here, it's a simple input text that's added if the hkTC_comment_title function exists. The function isn't used here, but we test it to assure the input text is only included if the plugin is activated to receive its parameter. Just make sure you don't change its 'name' and 'id' attributes.

 

1
2
3
4
<?php if(function_exists('hkTC_comment_title')) { ?>
  <h3>Comment Title</h3>
    <input type="text" name="hikari-titled-comments" id="hikari-titled-comments" tabindex="4" value="" />
<?php } ?>

 

 

And that's it! Now you are ready to aggregate value to your site's comments!

Upgrading and Uninstalling

 

If you have to upgrade manually, simply delete hikari-titled-comments folder and follow installation steps again.

 

If you wanna deactivate the plugin, just use the option in plugins page. Your theme will keep the new code for titles, but it will remain asleep while the plugin is not available.

 

In future version I'm gonna include an option to delete titles metadata from database.

Support & Requests

 

If you want to request any new feature, leave a comment on this post explaining it with as many details as possible. I can't assure it will be added, but if it is viable, I like it AND have the time, I'll do my best.

 

If something seems to not be working and you need help, first read the FAQ and then leave a comment explaining what's happening. If you need to post a picture, please link it instead of using an img tag.

 

Please, don't ask me to add comment title support to themes, in this case ask the theme author.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  1. Isn't there a way to use comment title without editing my theme?

    Unfortunately no. The only action hook that Wordpress offers as default for themes to have in comments is 'comment_form', that normally is added below the comment textarea, it doesn't offer enough flexibility. And also there is no way for a plugin to include title to comments.

     

    In reality, it could be done, but these 2 elements would hardly fit to themes layouts, you'd have a lot of trouble styling them, so it's much easier to just edit the theme.

  2. My theme uses Wordpress default comment building, it doesn't have the callback function, can I add title to my site comments?

    You can, but you'll have to create that function. If you're using the default code, your comments are already simple, so just search the Web for a tutorial teaching how to create it. Then you'll be able to add title to your site comments :).

  3. I use a free downloaded theme, I know nothing about HTML or CSS and the theme author doesn't provide support, can you help me do it?

    I'd love to be able to help, theme authors usually finish their themes (that are all identical and only change the CSS), publish them, never update and don't support their users that link to their sites. But it would require a few hours examining the theme, and even more time if its comment code is very different from standard, or some work if it uses Wordpress default comment code.

     

    Many themes also have damn ugly code that is pratically unreadable (if you've never read themes codes, believe me, I've already used a theme that was pretty looking in the browser but its code almost made me suicide its author!).

     

    Unfortunately I don't have the time to do it. You of course can contact me if you find a bug or have any trouble that may involve my plugin code, but please don't ask me for themes support.

  4. Can I add title to old comments and edit title of comments after they are created?

    Yes, just go to Edit Comment Admin Page.

    Go to the admin page where you see a list of your site comments and click the edit option (not the quick edit!) for the comment you wanna edit. In the page that will open, below the comment textarea there will be a box with an input text containing its current title (or empty if the comment has no title). Edit it as you want and save the comment :)

  5. Can I have a usage exemple?

    Sure, just leave comments below saying what you think about having titles in comments :)

  6. Does the plugin have security protection? Does it filter submited title? Can a hacker or a spammer use it to gain control of my site?

    When a registered user edits an existing comment's title, wpnonce is used against the plugin filename AND this comment ID, so Wordpress controls security regarding somebody trying to force a comment title change. A user also must have permission to edit a post to edit its comments' titles.

     

    For a new comment being created, I've used no special security measure. If a user or visitor is allowed to create a comment, he is allowed to give it a title too. I let Wordpress manage permissions to add new comments, if it's not allowed Wordpress will simply not trigger the action that Hikari Titled Comments plugin uses to create the title. There are also spam protection plugins that deal with permissions to add comments.

     

    Now, regarding what a user can use in a title (add a link to it for exemple), I've used the filter wp_filter_kses() to control it, it's the same filter used in the comment body. In the same way Wordpress works, if a user has 'unfiltered_html' permission, his comment body and title are not filtered, and if he doesn't have this permission the filter is used.

     

    And if you also use the Hikari Email & URL Obfuscator plugin, it will obfuscate any link that may exist in a title :)

     

    With these measures, I belive comment title is dealt in a similar way comment body is, I don't believe comment title must or should have deeper control than comment body. But if you think it should be done differently, just add a comment, with title :wink: , with your ideas and concerns :yes:.

Thanks

 

Thanks to Wordpress developers who developed comments metadata. Comments is a strategical feature for interactive websites to interact with their visitors, and should receive more attention. I've long wanted to have titles in comments, and now it's finally possible!

 

Thanks to Drupal devs that implemented so many great features, that slowly are coming to Wordpress. We need diversity, monopoly only plaster the progress.

 

And of course thanks to all of you that use my plugins, come to my sites and take something useful from it :).

 

 

I dedicate Hikari Titled Comments to Chiih-chan, my kawaii great frient ^-^

    Having problems with integration

    Wednesday, 19 May 2010, at 1:25:29 AM, 3 years ago | # |

    This looks like a great plugin, however I am experiencing issues adding the function for adding the comment title. I was able to get the code inserted for the form however. Everything gets hung up with wp-comments-post.php.

    The basic comment information is being added but it appears that the title is not being stored, nor can I access the titles. Lastly when I view my comments it is only showing a list of comment that are supposed to have titles. The originally stored comments are no longer accessible.

    I am using a basic install of 2.8.4 with very minimal ( to no) customizations. Please help, I hope its a simple fix. Thanks.homepage

      Hello.

       

      I’ve visited your site and indeed you have a "Subject" field on your comment form. But it’s using a name="subject" attribute.

       

      For the title field to work, it must have name="hikari-titled-comments", if possible id="hikari-titled-comments" name="hikari-titled-comments". It’s the name attribute that the browser uses to set the parameter’s name that’s sent to the server, and it’s the parameter’s name that is used by the plugin to gather the comment title.

       

      Try changing your input’s name and id and see if it works :).

          information

          Ok, in that site it’s right :D

           

          Let’s try a few tests then.

          1. Do you see the Comment Title metabox in comment editing page? That’s a plugin-core direct relation and the metabox should be there without any theme interaction, I think it’s the easiest way of know the plugin is working.
          2. When you edit this metabox’s input text and updates the comment, is the title updated in the editing page?
          3. In comments list admin page, do you see comments titles?

           

          If these don’t work, then there’s something wrong with plugin installation. I never tested it with WP 2.8.4, but I don’t see anything stopping this version to work.

           

          Try totally deleting plugin files and reinstalling it, see if you can get admin interfaces to work with comment titles, and when it works then you see if theme is properly customized.

           

           

          Your theme is very customized and it has some strange code, it doesn’t seem to have space in each comment for its title. Make sure you are using hkTC_comment_title() function on it to print titles.

            I just tried uninstalling the plugin. When this happens I have full functionality of my edit-comments.php. When the plugin is activated again. I lose the ability to manage the comments. In addition, there is no title that displays in the interface.

            After installing the upgrade to 2.9.2 it appears that everything is working now. Not sure why that makes a difference but everything looks perfect after the upgrade. Thanks for all of the great plugins. I hope this others find this plugin and support issue helpful.feedback

              Ahh!!!

               

              Hikari Titled Comments requires Wordpress 2.9!! It uses comments metadata and this features isn’t available in 2.8!

              Really sorry, I should have noted when you said 2.8.4 but forgot about it! Normally my plugins require 2.8, but this one requires 2.9!

               

              If you use the plugin on 2.8, everytime it tries to access comments metadata it breaks WordPress, because the function/database doesn’t exist.

               

              I plan adding PHP and WP version checks to all my plugins, once it’s done they’ll just inform that current version isn’t supported and shutdown graciously :)

               

              Sorry again for my mistake, and tnx for testing 2.9 and fiding the problem!

    homepage

    Dear Hikari–

    Thanks A LOT for your very useful plugin! I have two questions for you:

    1) Is it possible to pass parent subject to the reply. For example, if the parent comment has subject "Test", the reply automatically has subject "RE: Test" (and the user can change it, if the user wants);

    2) Is it possible that when a user edits a comment, the Subject text field appears above rather than below the comment body?

    Thanks!

      Yeah I also love it :D

       

      1) That can be done… but it’d need to be a request for a new feature. And I’m damn busy, I already have pending requests and I’ll be out of home for a few weeks, and IDK what will happen later… maybe my time in PC will be 0 for some months.

       

      And also, I don’t see much real need for that feature. Comment titles would get underused if we have a lot of Re: titles. It’s better if each comment has its own, unique, title, ppl would even be discourage to set a real title if a Re: one is already there. For replying comments pointing to the comment they are replying, we already have threaded comments feature that deals with it.

       

       

      2) I’d really love if that was possible, indeed I wanted title field to go below URL field.

       

      But that’s not possible :( Only way to add new fields to pages like Edit Comment is to use metabox, and plugin metaboxes are forced to go below core ones. Since I developed Hikari Titled Comments I worked further on metaboxes and maybe that’s possible with some hacking. I’ll try to do it and enhance the title field in the future :)

       

       

      Past months I was dedicated to develop plugins I needed and last month I was publishing some of them. I have a lot of enhancements to do on all of them, I’ve been learning a lot and oldest plugins are outdated and their code isn’t top quality. I have a lot of things to do, and time is getting rarer. But I’ll do it :)

        Validation of the title form

        gravatar Comment by Eugene (http://diaped NULL.soe NULL.udel NULL.edu/):
        Monday, 12 Jul 2010, at 12:32:04 AM, 2 years, 10 months ago | # | replying Hikari |

        Thanks, Hikari, for your reply. I use discussions for teaching for more than a decade and automatic refiller of title is a very good idea for human interactions. I wonder if you can share your idea how to do that — major steps — and I can try to develop it myself and share if I'm successful. What do you think?

        By the way, I just want to share that I managed to add validation of the title form. First, I added the plugin "Comment Validation " from http://bassistance.de/wordpress-plugin-comment-validation/ (http://bassistance NULL.de/wordpress-plugin-comment-validation/)  and then I added

        class="required"

        to the comments.php description of the title text input:

         <input type="text" name="hikari-titled-comments" id="hikari-titled-comments" size="152" tabindex="4" value="" class="required" /> 

        It's very simple and works really well. This prevents people to leave empty title…

          Possibilities

          research

          Nice! Tnx a lot for the required feature! :D I’m gonna take a look on it later! I don’t want it in my site (I don’t like blocking comment creation), but I wanted to implement it and didn’t know how!

           

           

          For implementing the Re: feature, you must find out the comment parent, to know its title. That can be done getting its parent using the field $comment->comment_parent then processing it as you want.

           

          The problem is how to do it, since Wordpress’ threaded comments feature allows comment form to move freely among comments… If JavaScript is disabled it’s easy, on every request to reply a comment you get the desired parent and create the default title. But when it’s done by JavaScript you must do it by JavaScript too, and comment-reply.js doesn’t support hooks.

          I’ve had the need to execute custom code when comment form is moved and I’m gonna develop hooks for that code allowing anybody to hook its events, but I didn’t have time to develop it yet and when it’s done I’ll still have to create a patch suggesting the enhancement, pray for them to accept it and still wait the patch be committed… I doubt that will be finished in 2010 :(

           

          Currently, the title input field is responsibility of the theme, Hikari Titled Comments only captures submitted form and verifies if it has the title parameter. So it would still require a new function to print possible default titles inside the input, and require themes to be updated to use that function.

          Wordpress 3.0 brought the new function comment_form(), making Core build the comment form, with options to add new fields to it, that will make it possible for any plugin to add custom fields without theme intervention, in themes that support Core’s comment form. But of course I still need to learn the new feature, implement it, and themes must be updated to use comment_form().

           

           

          Another option is, when a comment is created, set its default title when none is provided. That’s much simpler, but it may be intrusive creating titles that commentator didn’t provided. Some forum engines do that, but they allow poster to edit his post after being created… Wordpress doesn’t allow commentator to edit a comment after it’s sent. Anyway, the feature can be provided and each site admin choose to use it or not.

           

          The function postingComment() handles comment creation, if a title is provided it creates the metadata, and if none then it does nothing. It’s a matter of adding an else statement and setting a default title based on $comment->comment_parent. That’s by far the easiest solution.

           

           

          The problem is that in a few hours I’ll leave home and only be back on saturday, to stay only until sunday and leave again. And IDK what will happen after that, so I’ll be unable to update the plugin in the near future and even unavailable to approve and reply comments in middle of week.

           

          But I’ll be back, someday ^^

    i noticed that after activating this plugin, comments do not appear instantly on the page. a refresh is needed before comments appear. is this a bug?

      I doubt it, I see no reason for comments not appearing.

       

      Most often the plugin works only in its metadata, it does no modification over original comment’s content. Only place where it modifies some core comment data is in edit-comments.php, where titles are appended in the begining of their comment_text.

       

      I see no reason why a comment would stop appearing. But if you have any guess of what may be happening give me some clues and I’ll try to fix :)

      Tnx :)

      I suppose you are talking about my Titled Comments plugin, so I moved it here.

       

      Your request is out of the scope of this plugin. You’d need a way to pick a date (JavaScript can handle that), find out how comments are closed then create a cronjob to do that when the time comes.

       

      But hey, comments aren’t closed separately, it’s posts that are closed for new comments. Wouldn’t you me thinking about allowing commentators to edit their comments for some time then block the feature?

          ok, but what do you mean with a closed comment?

          By default commentators can't edit their comments after submit, so what exactally changes when a comment is closed?

           

          Anyway, I've said how to implement the date and how to submit and store it, and how to execute some action when that date arrives. Now it's a matter of implement the "comment closing" feature :)

              Well, yes. You can use a JavaScript datepicker or some combos to let user set a date, then pass it in comment form and capture it with a plugin :)

                  marketing

                  I still didn't understand what exactally you wanna do to each comment for closing it… and I never worked with JavaScript datetime.

                   

                  If you wanna hire me we can talk in ICQ or MSN or another IM software to explain me in details what you want to accomplish, and I search for a JavaScript solution. Otherwise I apologize but I won't develop your request in the near future :(

      But I barely have time to maintain my plugins. I wanted to add tutorials teaching stuff that I learn while developing. I hope when I have my theme and my plugins finished I’ll have some more time to spend building content!

Comecei a testar um editor novo nos comments. Ele precisa de JavaScript pra funcionar. Se vc tiver algum problema ao usar ele, é só clickar no Source e ele vai ser desativado.
