Connected Internet: Add A WYSIWYG Comment Editor To WordPress With MCEComments

  • John · 1 year ago
    It adds a lot to the page size though (by the looks of it). So how is it affecting your server load?
    It'll be interesting to see if it affects the level of comments etc over the coming month or so - perhaps you could do a follow-up?

    Wow this makes commenting a lot cooler. Just had to try this out hehe.
    Thanks for sharing this with us. I will implement it in my new website I am building now.
    Thanks Again!

    EDIT:
    But the color I added to the text is not visible. Is it possible to fix that? And if not, you may leave the color out.

  • Barry Cleave · 1 year ago
    Another plugin I must try out. I added CommentLuv after your post about it :)

    All seem to be working very nicely as you can see!

    THANK YOU!!  I've been looking for how to achieve this and just added it to my blog.  Thing is, though, it appears to be truncated - any idea why that might be happening?

    Best wishes,
    Barbara

    My guess is you've added too many options to the toolbar and you're stylesheet is hiding the final buttons (on my blog it stretches the bar which looks even worse if I add too many). Try going into the settings page and removing the least used functions.

    It's a nice feature for your users.  I like the idea of giving visitors a choice when adding comments.  I'm sure lots won't bother, but some could get really crazy with it ;)

    Hey, my last post didn't quite work.  The phrase "get really crazy with it" was supposed to have every word a different color.  Then I bolded, underlined and italiced the whole phrase.  It worked in the comment box,  but it all just looks bold and italics now :(

    I installed it, activated it but I'm still not able to make this box show in my blog (I've also activated some buttons in admin panel).I have WP 2.5.1 and Default Theme.Any suggestions?
  • Everton · 1 year ago
    @Marylain


    It appeared automatically for me.  Have you tried it with another theme?
  • Marylain · 1 year ago
    Yes... do you also have 2.5.1 version of WP?
  • Everton · 1 year ago
    @Marylain

    Yes, I'm on 2.5.1
  • Marylain · 1 year ago
    Can you please tell me what you did in ordet to let it work and where did you download the plugin?I downloaded it on WP.org webpage, unzipped, put the folder inside plugin directory, activated the plugin and got into settings page.I can see the panel, but even if I change something, I cannot see any kind of changement in preview box.Why?Am I doing something wrong?
  • Mark LaFlamme · 1 year ago
    I've been dying to get my hands on this kind of plugin since I upgraded to 2.51. Like Marylain, though, I downloaded the sucker, installed it, activated it and selected the buttons I prefer. I tried a half dozen different themes and nothing. Not a sign of the WYSIWYG editor in the comments box. I'd love to hear a solution to this one.
  • Marylain · 1 year ago
    I'm just contacting the author of this plugin.It seems something is wrong with my Tiny_MCE.js.He's a very nice person... hopefully he will solve my problem. I really want to use this plugin... I tried to change themes, but... NOTHING.
  • Mark LaFlamme · 1 year ago
    I went for an older version of the plugin and it works without any issues. Way fewer options that way, but it's a temporary fix, anyway. I'll be waiting to hear if you have any luck with the developer.
  • Marylain · 1 year ago
    I also tried to download and install the older version but I still have this problem.I noticed that I'm not able to let work any kind of plugin that add buttons on editor box (including QuickTags...)
  • Everton · 1 year ago
    @Marylain


    If you do find out why the plugin doesn't display can share what you did please, as I've had that problem in the past with themes and I'd love to know what the cause is.
  • Marylain · 1 year ago
    Well yes, sure thing, I'm just waiting for MZ's reply. Strange thing is that even the preview box doesn't work so my problem is not because of a specified theme. ;_;
  • Mark LaFlamme · 1 year ago
    Quicktags stopped working for me altogether after I upgraded to WP 2.5. There's a bunch of code from Nicedit that puts the visual editor onto your comments box with just a cut and paste. Problem for me there was that the "submit comment" box disappeared.Kind of ironic that we're going through so much frustration and strain just so our bloggers can yell at us in bold type.

    I cannot for the life of me get the blockquote button to actually make text blockquote. Everything else works, but can't blockquote.

    What's the solution? I've even tried to blockquote the above text here and although you can click the blockquote button, nothing happens. It has no effect on the text.

    Help please. Would love for this to work.  :)

    Same trouble... :( Anyone know, how to fix blockquote in MCEComments?

    Wordpress 2.7.1
  • miso · 7 months ago
    Me again...

    Just got notified someone made a comment here and just wanted to say that I still haven't found a solution to this. I'm running 2.7.1 now as well.

    Maybe someday :)

    I've had the same problem with not working blockquote-button.

    After I changed tinyMCEComments.php from

    $res .= 'force_p_newlines : false,'.$le;
    $res .= 'force_br_newlines : true,'.$le;

    to

    $res .= 'force_p_newlines : true,'.$le;
    $res .= 'force_br_newlines : false,'.$le;


    blockquote is working.
    I do not undestand internals of tinyMCE, but it seems, that blockquote and indent is only working inside of several elements (like , ).

    It would be nice, if someone with more understanding could comment on this.

    Additionally

    forced_root_block : ''

    has to be changed to

    forced_root_block : 'p'

    too.
