Hi there,
We are using WordPress MU at the University of Victoria for distance courses and program community building. Are there any plans for the Commentpress theme to work with WordPress MU?
Thanks,
Keith Webster
that would make an amazing tool!
Belatedly: Commentpress has worked with MU since version 3.1
One feature I’m really hoping to see is the ability to break up long chapters into multiple pages using the tag (currently supported by wordpress). As it is now, if the post is broken up into multiple pages, a comment for paragraph 3 would be linked to the 3rd paragraph for every page of that chapter, not just to the one page it was meant to be linked to (sorry for the awkward wording there — I hope you can understand!).
Also, I would love to see some form of footnotes feature implemented as Papier Machine wrote above. Instead, I was forced to write my own footnote script that worked with commentpress.
Commentpress has supported multi-page posts since version 3.1. It also seems to work fine with jquery-tooltip.
Christian — in your current version of CommentPress hosted by FOTB, I see a reference to “rollover footnotes” code with Jquery tooltip. But this code does not appear in the CommentPress v3.2 that I recently downloaded. Is it a separate WP plug-in that I need to install? thanks!
Jack,
did you find an answer to this question about rollover footnotes? I’d be interested, as I will have the same issue when i start using this next week.
Yes, here
What about translation in french?
Hi Guys. Forgive my ignorance but after reading the Eduspaces comment does this mean that Commentpress runs on wordpress Mu too??
@ActualAl: yes
I would like to have the option, of displaying the all the paragraphs of the original article side-by-side (contextually) with the comments of a selected individual user.
This would give greater coherence to the views of individual commentators and would open all sorts of creative possibilities for versioning.
A great tool!
Mark
The ability to tag the paragraphs withoiut the <p> tag. Perhaps a different custom tag, as I’d like that every single paragraph seperatly commentable.
Sorry, id like it it every single pararaph WASN’T seperatly commentable by default.
This can now be done in version 3.2 – please see the documentation on “comment-blocks”. What you can’t do is mix automatic parsing and manual block division on the same page.
This looks like an awesome tool! How would one go about structuring several “books” with states in the same WordPress instance? I guess many people have a process that involves several publications. For each there is a beta stage where comments are accepted and taken into consideration after which a new version is published.
My immediate thought would be to use Commentpress in a multisite setup/environment. Each “book” would be equivalent to a “blog”, with new revisions being new blogs.
How you decide to migrate the content from one revision to the next would be the only slightly tricky part – but you could always just export the blog using the built-in WordPress exporter, I suppose… though that would take all the comments with it. Not too hard to amend what gets exported, however.
Great Project!A recent comments feature would be nice to see the latest comments added to a page.Cheers,Matthias
Hi Matthias, for reasons too complicated to explain, the Commentpress you see here is a little out of date. There is now an “Activity” tab which contains (amongst other things depending on context) a recent comments section.
Until I update this site. you can see an install of the latest version here.
We are using CommentPress to create an online commentary to an ancient Greek text at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC. In order to foster dialogue (rather than simply invite comments) we are asking users to begin each comment with a question. As each question might receive 10 comments of its own (and thus necessitate a lot of scrolling from question to question), we would like to be able to collapse the “Comments” section in Commentpress such that you see only the questions but must click on them to expand to the proposed answers/comments. Is this possible? And if so, how do we do it? If this format is not possible, would it be possible to create a third tab, called Questions, along with Comments and Contents, that would then allow you to comment just as you can comment on paragraphs now?
Norman, in case you are not able to find a coding solution before you launch your discussion, take a look at how co-editor Kristen Nawrotzki and I handled a similar issue during the “Essay Idea Discussion” phase of our edited volume, Writing History in the Digital Age. Using CommentPress, we invited contributors to comment on existing ideas and to post new ones (as a comment on the last paragraph on the page). When new topics appeared that warranted further discussion, we would copy & paste them from the comment into the main text and designate each with its own number.
how hard would it be for a person to create some program that would add a zillion comments to a site using this theme, thereby causing lots of problems. (I’m working on a site using this theme – that thought just came to me. i’d hate all the work to get wrecked.) thanks
Hello,
Can we request the implementation of infinite loader (both page and single page) ?
Greetings,
L.

Much of the code for this exists in the plugin; it’s just disabled at the moment. I’d love to revisit it.
