Drupal

It's been a while since I've updated Comment Luv for Drupal and I've had a number of requests for a update for Drupal 6.

I've been talking to Andy from FiddyP who's updated his version for Wordpress recently and I hope to have an updated version of Comment Luv within the coming weeks. I've not used Drupal 6 much yet so this will be a good chance to learn some of the updates, I had been waiting for the CCK and Views modules to come out of beta before starting any work on Drupal 6 (I've not used it on any production sites at work yet either).

 I know there are a fair number of sites out there using Comment Luv which is great.

Comment Luv Drupal is the Drupal based version of the popular Wordpress plugin.

When someone posts a comment on your site Comment Luv attempts to find their latest blog post and add the title and link to the bottom of their comment. Comment Luv is great for attracting people to comment on your blogs and a great way to build back links to your site.

The development release 0.1 is the same as what is used here on ImAFish. The Comment Luv Wordpress plugin has been written by Andy Baily of FiddyP, with his permission and guidance I have simply removed the Wordpress hooks and replaced them with Drupal hooks.

Download

Currently for Drupal 5x.

Download the development release 0.1.

Installation

1. Upload the commentluv directory to your modules folder.

2. Download Magpie RSS from Sourceforge and copy all the files into the commentluv directory. 

3. Go to the modules section in the administration section and enable.

Limitations

There are a few limitations currently that I hope to work on over the coming releases.

1. Once enabled the comment luv plugin works on all content types, there is no way to turn it off for certain content types (if there is demand for this feature I will write it).

2. Currently Comment Luv only works for anonymous users, I intend to add in functionality for authenticated users soon.

3. Not tested on Drupal 6.

This module development has been sponsored by The Web Orchard.
