| Comment Rating 2.9.1 |
Author: Bob King
If youre tired of moderating readers comments on your blog, stop doing
that and let your readers decide which comment deserves to be shown.
If youre getting outrageous comments on your blog, dont get too
angry yet. Lets see how many readers feel the same. You can
do these tasks (and more) with the Comment Rating plugin
Installation:
After download the plug in, you can upload and install it from
Wordpress Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New. Alternatively, you can
unpack and upload the dir with files to the wp-content/plugins folder on your blog.
Activate the plugin.
You can configure the options under Setting -> Comment Rating.
The default options should be good enough. It works out of box. You
are done. Sit back and have a look at your blog.
If you want to tailor the display format further, you can turn
off auto-insertion into comments and add the following line to an
appropriate place in your theme "comments.php" file within the comment loop.
if(functionexists(ckratingdisplaykarma)) { ckratingdisplay_karma(); }
More about custom installation in the Comment Rating plugin FAQ.
faq:
Why are the voting image in gray?
If the thumbs are grey, its most likely working well. Comment
author cannot vote on his/her own comments. Thats why the voting
images are grayed out and dont respond to mouse-over. But if you
change to a different IP address, youll be able to see the
clickable images and mouse-over effects.
If all your computers go through the same ADSL/Cable router, they
all have the same external IP address. The thumb will stay gray,
until your IP address changes (e.g. rebooting the router).
To others, the thumbs should be in color.
Can I style the whole comment box of highly-rated/poorly-rated/hotly-debated comments
Yes. the comment styling uses the new commentclass filter
(introduced in WordPress 2.7). If your theme doesnt use
WordPress 2.7 wplistcomments(), youll only see the comment
text background being styled or highlighted. To fix the problem, you
need to add commentclass into your existing theme. For example
code, please see here.
My nested comment box highlighting is messed up!
When using nested comments, the styling of a highly or poorly-rated
comment is passed on to every comment below it. This means that
every comment nested below a low-rated comment becomes semi-opaque,
even if it is high-rated itself. The end result is huge blocks of
dim text that are difficult to read.
Also highly-rated comments pass on that style to everything below
it, resulting in huge blocks of styled text that obscure the rating
of comments that are not really highly rated.
The problem is caused by styling the whole comment box. To solve the problem, just turn off comment box styling.
How do I set the thresholds of highly-rated/poorly-rated/hotly-debated comments?
This is the tricky part. Setting the thresholds too low, every comment becomes highlighted or hidden. Setting them too high, nothing changes and you cannot draw readers attention.
Every blogs readers are different. Some have passionate and
active readers who vote on almost every comment. Some have
indifferent readers who dont want to click.
Theres no magic formula. Youll have to experiment. Hopefully, its fun to play with the numbers.
Can a comment be both highly-rated, and poorly-rated or hotly-debated?
Yes, if youre not careful with your thresholds. Wont there be messy formatting? No, there wont be. Rest assured. Comment Rating will use only one style based on the following descending priorities: highly-rated, poorly-rated, hotly-debated.

Just add to /wp-content/plugins and activate or use the automatic plugin installer. If you want to use it in Wordpress Mu for all blogs just copy comment-uploads.php to /wp-content/mu-plugins and leave the rest in place or use the new activate site wide option for an much simpler installation.
faq:
What license is this plugin available under?
The GPLv3 of course :-). You can reuse it, hack it, redistribute it or do whatever else you like as long as you keep the source open under the same license. It is and will always be free for personal or commercial use but if you like it you can donate or pay me to work on the features you need. The plugin is supplied with no warranty whatsoever and any contributors will not be held responsible for any damages caused by its use.
It does not work, what can I do?
If you need help with the plugin then email me at tom.tdw@gmail.com and I will be more than willing to give any help I can.
How can I help support the plugins development?
I develop the plugin in my free time whilst providing free support for it so if you enjoy using it and would like to support it then any donations would be gratefully received.
If you want to donate then you can do so securely using paypal:
(paypal link coming soon)
Is it available in my language?
Currently the plugin is only available in English but anyone can translate it using Wordpresss standard tools: http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress . If you translate the plugin then please email me the PO files so that other users can benefit from them as well.
Alternativly you can translate the plugin online using an easy web interface on launchpad:
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/easy-comment-uploads/trunk
Is it secure?
Currently the plugin blacklists unsafe filetypes and is bound by the global php security settings so it should be fairly safe to use. However as with any plugin there is a risk and if the security measures taken by your site are not adequate, then this risk is greatly increased. As always I recommend you keep backups and if you do discover security issues with the plugin please let me know so I can resolve them as soon as possible.
As with all plugins, new versions include security fixes and resolve other bugs so I always recommend running the latest stable version.
I have just thought of an amazing feature your plugin should have, what can I do?
Good for you - send me and email or comment and if I like the idea, I will see whether my coding skills will stretch to making it. If you have a patch or want to contribute then even better - just contact me with a brief introduction and I will add you as a contributor to the plugin.
