User Comments Plugin

This is an alpha release of my new User Comments plugin, but it works fine as far as I can tell. To install, download the source code, save it as user_comments.php, upload to your plugins directory and activate it in WP. This plugin will not work with 1.2; a 1.3 nightly is required.

What does it do? At this point, the plugin moderates comments that are not posted by users (i.e., visitors registered and logged-in at your blog.) Logged-in users have their information automatically filled out for them when viewing the comment form (if you haven’t modified the form fields). This plugin puts the user_id column in the comments table to use, and in the future I may add code to make use of that information when displaying comments.

To do:

  • Add option to either moderate non-user comments or not allow them at all.
  • Set minimum user level.
  • Fix whatever bugs are present.
  • A few other things I have in mind.

Comments, bug reports, suggestions are of course welcome.

    Very interesting. Too bad I don’t use WP or I’d check it out. :(

    Oh well, maybe next time I write something it won’t be a plugin. :) Until then, feel free to register so your comments don’t get moderated…

    as far as a 1.3 nightly…
    do I need to get all the files? (I’m no coder, so if I’m out of my league, I guess I’ll wait for the next release) But your plugin is exactly what I’m looking for!
