Filosofo Comments Preview

Comments Preview

What is Filosofo Comments Preview?

Filosofo Comments Preview is a WordPress plugin that lets you preview comments on your blog before you submit them. It should work with just about every WordPress theme right out of the box.

Can I see it in action?

Yes—here. Try previewing and posting a comment on my test page.

Will it work on my blog?

I’ve tested it successfully on WordPress blogs of version 2.0 or newer, including the cutting-edge alpha versions of WordPress.

What are some of its features?

  • Works with WordPress’s threaded comments (as of WordPress version 2.7)
  • Extremely simple to install: just upload and activate.
  • Easy configuration in the administrative control panel.
  • The preview looks as it would look if published, according to your settings (i.e. smileys, profanity edited, etc.)
  • Works with “pop-up” comments.
  • Flexible API allows for easy customization for those so inclined.

Where do I download it?

Filosofo Comments Preview 1.5 | December 10, 2008

See also the source tree at WP-Plugins.org.

How do I install it?

You must be using WordPress version 2.0 or newer.

  1. Download either the filosofo-comments-preview.zip file or the filosofo-comments-preview.tar.gz file here. Extract the files.
  2. Upload the

    filosofo-comments-preview.php
     

    file into your plugins folder (in http://www.%your_blog_address%/wp-content/plugins/) and activate it in your control panel.

  3. You can set the preview background color under Options > Comments Preview, and for advanced settings, see the frequently asked questions page (FAQ).

Internationalization and Localization: Filosofo Comments Preview in Your Language

You can get language localization files in some languages here. If you are fluent in a non-English language, please consider translating the .po file included with the plugin download.

I have suggestions or I need help. What can I do?

Please see the FAQ, leave a comment in my support forum for this plugin, start a ticket at WP-Plugins.org, or send me an email at if.website (located at) gmail (dot) com .

    [...] Filosofo Comments Preview. Nothing’s worse than typing an intelligent and articulate comment on a blog, complete with HTML codes for links and formatting, and then having all that work stripped out. Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s worse when I make a mistake and some HTML codes appear in the comment as text. Even “worser” still is that with most WordPress blogs it’s a **** shoot: I have no idea what will happen before I click “Post” and then it’s too late — the comment is now live and I can’t edit it.

    [...] IT IS DONE. Last night, I finally upgraded ‘Shouting etc etc’ to the latest version of WordPress available (now with go-faster stripes), thanks to the expert help of Zip Gun. No more pr0n spam wankery makes me a happy lad! Frankly, it took a lot less effort than I thought it would, and I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to get it overwith. Procrastination would be my middle name, but ‘Davecat’ is only one word. Not only is there that, but I’ve added a new plugin that allows people to preview what they’re about to post. Truly, an Idea Whose Time Has Come. Thanks again, ZG and Bloke who came up with that comments preview plugin! [...]
