Better Comments Manager – Wordpress Plugin release

Update: TODO list for Better Comments Manager
Add AJAX support to the reply to comments from Better Comments Manager Plugin
. Thanks to Arpit for the suggestion. This will be released in version 1.1 Version 1.2 is now available and it includes support which allows you to reply to the comments without loading a new page. Also shows posts title instead of the view link. You can get it here.

I switched to Wordpress about a month ago from Joomla and I absolutely love it. While I was using Joomla I used to create customized mambots, modules and components for my site. Now its turn to give all wordpress users a new plugin.

After the move to Wordpress I had started getting quite a few comments and to reply to them I had to always visit the post and reply from the comments form. This started to become more painful as I wanted to reply to all comments but they were across multiple posts and this made my task of replying to comments a bit difficult.

Then it came across to me that why not have a plugin where I could simply reply to the post from within the comment managing screen, that’s when the idea for Better Comments Manager came to my mind.

I am proud to release my first Wordpress plugin to all users. Hope you like it and can put it to good use.

What is Better Comments Manager?

Better Comments Manager is an extension of the default Wordpress comments manager. I have added two new features to the default Wordpress Comments Manager.

  1. Reply to comment from within Wordpress Admin Panel.
  2. View All Comments based by posts.

Ok so you don’t notice anything different than the default comment manager, have a look at this image ;)

Now you see in addition to the normal tasks for a comment, there are two new links one which says Reply and another which says View all.

Features Explained

1. Reply to comment from within Wordpress Admin Panel.

The title says it all, you can reply to every individual comment from within the Wordpress Admin so you do not have to go to individual posts to reply to comments.

Here are few screens which take you through the Reply to comments feature.

Clicking on reply links takes you to a page where you can reply to the comment.

Just enter your reply for the comment and click on Reply to Comment. That’s it the comment will now appear on the post and you didn’t even have to visit the individual post to reply to the user.

Now isn’t this a handy feature. This definitely helps me to interact much better with my readers.

2. View All Comments based by posts.

This is a goodie which I thought should be a part of this plugin, it simply lets you view all the comments based on a particular post. So if you want to see the reactions for a particular post only then you can simply click the View All link in the Better Comments Manager.

This feature helps me track all comments for a particular post and makes organizing comments more better.

Installation

Installation is simple. Just unzip the “better-comments-manager” folder into your plugins folder and activate the plugin. From there, you and your users should be able to edit comments you should be able to edit comments and interact better with your users.

Requirements

Wordpress 2.x and above

Usage

Once you are logged into the Wordpress admin panel, clicking on Comments link will show a sub menu called Better Comments Manager, clicking on that link will allow you to use the features described above.

    I have been looking for something like this forever! Thanks for building it…

    I do have an error code that generates when I submit a comment from your reply screen. The comment gets saved and appears correctly on the site but the error pops up and does not send me back to the comments screen.

    Here’s the error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/jester/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/jester/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

    Hello, very nice plugin.

    i think, it is better, when you change the link to js-library in bcm-edit-comments.php. Then is it not essential, load the own js-library in plugin-folder. WordPress has the librarys in the folder wp-includes/js/ .


    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/prototype.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-includes/js/scriptaculous/effects.js"></script>

    Amazing plugin. There are only 2 suggestions I have:

    1. Remove the top-level menu and replace the old comments page with the “better” one (why have 2?).

    2. Integrate with comment e-mail responder.

    Great work!

    I adore the concept of this plugin, but perhaps I either a) did something wrong, or b) I’m not using it properly. I was under the impression that this plugin would add the replies directly below the original comment … right now, it posts my replies at the bottom of the page, which isn’t very useful for me. Am I doing something wrong?

    [Reply]

    keith Reply:

    Hi Val,

    This plugin on its own does not show the comments below the replying comment. You can at anytime use Brian’s Threaded Comments and it will automatically switch to that view when you use the threaded reply to reply to a comment.

    Thanx Keith for this great plugin, thanx Darren for blogging it. I was in search of a plugin like this one for a long time but unluckily, it is not working for me. I’m on WP 2.0.2. It is just giving a blank “better comments manager” screen.

    Hi Transcriptionist,

    Thanks for pointing that out to me I will try and fix that error and update the plugin shortly.

    Found a similar plugin at digitalramble.com but fell in love with “better comments manager plugin.” Awaiting eagerly for you to come out with a fix.

    I really like this plugin, but I wanted to ask/let you know that I noticed something in the latest release (1.3). When replying to a comment and manually inputting the html for a link (using the complete anchor link, text, etc), it seems to affect the creation of the first javascript link (the edit link). For some reason, it seems to choke on the addslashes function call in bcm-edit-comments.php line 175. It correctly creates the link with the comment content up until the href in the anchor tag, but then improperly outputs all subsequent comment text.

    I only looked at it briefly, but I’ll try to look some more and let you know.

    Let me know if this is known and/or anything that I can do to help. Thanks again!

    I’m using Better Comments Manager version 1.3 and I’m having problems when I use html within the comment. Any comment that has html in it, like a link, I can no longer edit the comment with the Better Comments Manager. Here is an example of what I’m getting on the line where the date and time should be displayed:

    Sep 8, 12:25 PM — [ board minutes. I see that two people on the board that voted against rule changes are up for reelection. Please let your votes reflect how you feel about this issue.

    I would really like like to say that I love your plugin. It seems that it will offer lots of help to me, once I get an issue worked out. I also use a plugin called “Recaptcha” (which is pretty neat actually – I have written about it here: http://tinyurl.com/ytw8l6 ).

    So, Recaptch is a comment spam protection that is visible on my post pages. But, when I use your plugin and try to make a comment, it gets blocked by Recaptcha (saying that I didn’t put in the correct info).

    So, is there a way to bypass spam protection within your plugin or can you point to a place in the code where I can put in the recaptcha code so that I can enter in the words allowing me to post?

    Can’t wait to try your plugin!

    I am having problems with the recaptcha plug in and this plug in. I can reply but it never shows up. So I contacted recaptcha and they gave me this work around but since I am php challenged and have no idea how to patch anything, I will give everyone the link and hope they know what to do.

    I am afraid if I manually add and delete I will mess things up

    I did ask for advice and will post what they tell me.

I can do just fine using Minefield (firefox for leopard) but I’m having problems using this with Safari. Do you know how I can fix this?

    [Reply]

    Lomes Reply:

    I’m just about to implement this in 2.5 so hopefully the issue gets resolved (if there IS an issue).

    One thing I’ve read is that some plugins will work if they were in a 2.3 installation that is upgraded to 2.5, but not in a vanilla 2.5 install. Something to do with the initial config when you enable the plugin…

    Not sure if that’s where the poster having issues is coming from, but might be helpful. Hope to see official 2.5 support soon!

    Recently i imported my blog over from wp.com. All my comments are there in the admin ‘comments’ menu, but NONE are listed on any posts. DO you know how i can fix this and what is causing it? I believe this is why the plug in isnt working yet for me.

    I both love and hate plugins.

    I am on the latest version of WP 2.8.2 and the latest version of Thesis 1.5.1 (or 1.5.2 I can’t remember and too lazy to check). When your plugin is active the post edit window has all the text invisible – I can see my text if I CTRL A, but can’t see it otherwise.

    Played with all the other plugins because I didn’t want it to be this one.

    I’ll be waiting for a new version and hope that my issue goes away.

    Thanks for the effort you’ve put in so far.
