Comment Luv for Drupal

Submitted by Pete on Sun, 03/16/2008 - 3:00pm.

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.

It's good to know that my new Drupal site can now benefit from this same feature. Cool. Plus I just added you to a list of CommentLuv blogs over at one of my Wordpress blogs.

Thanks Stephan, we are currently working on a newer better version of commentluv that will hopefully be finished in the next couple of weeks.

Oh this is greatness.  I was worried that there wouldn't be a Drupal version of CommentLuv, but there is, and that makes me happy.  Except for the fact that it's for D5.x, and D6.x isn't finished yet...  Once it's there, oh yes I'll be running it! :D

I hope to see it working on authenticated users soon, as anonymous users can not comment on my drupal site. Thanks for doing this! :)

Thanks for the plugin to be able to give people a nice incentive for commenting. I will be using this for quite a while.

I've used commentluv for a while and love that it transforms a standard blog into more of a community.  Very nice!

Hi and thanks for the module. Its so great to have people like you who take the time to port great plug ins from WP to Drupal. Wish I could do that too.

 I installed it on our site and actually one person even used it and it worked great. Thanks again

Anja
