I logged in using my OpenID in order to check out IntenseDebate. After a long time, I've returned (due in thanks to all the news that Automattic took over) and realized this issue.
When logging in, I log in as vxjasonxv.com . This is a delegated Identity and I leverage vxjasonxv.myopenid.com ( and thus, MyOpenID ) for all the the verification and magic that I don't care to host for myself.
If ever I decide that I no longer wish to continue using MyOpenID, and delegate my identity elsewhere, I will be locked out, because vxjasonxv.com will no longer delegate to vxjasonxv.myopenid.com
I've thought about changing my openid in my profile to vxjasonxv.com , but I fear that I would lock myself out, and I'd rather someone know what's going on first :), and make sure if I change something, I don't disappear for a long time.
At any rate... vxjasonxv.myopenid.com should have no relevance to my profile whatsoever, it is used for verification (I am who I claim I am). My OpenID is the one I claimed, that I filled into the login form, and that is vxjasonxv.com
As an aside, fixing this would also be a perfect time to implement multiple identity support ;).
The Top Commenter widget displays the top 10 all time commenters for your blog. I would like to see the following additional options:
Show top 10 commenters for the current calendar month
Show top 10 commenters for the current calendar year
Show top 10 commenters for a specified duration in the past (ex: last 60 days, last 90 days, etc).
These options would be useful, for example, if you are running a top commenter competition and want to display only the top commenters for the duration of the competition rather than all time.
I'm facing this problem...while uninstalling intensedebate..help me out
Though I've followed each n every step of unistallation proces ,my blogger blog keeps on givin me this message
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The reference to entity "title" must end with the ';' delimiter.
Even though I managed to finally move Intense Debate Comments from blogspot to wordpress, I have lost all threading and rating and the like. I think this will also happens if anyone decides to move domains or platforms since the permalink structure will likely change.
So I'm thinking it would be a good idea for you guys to have some way that people can take the IDC comments of a site, as they are, and move them to another domain or permalink structure, thus avoiding any importing/exporting procedures
So, say for example that I moved from dbzer0.blogspot.com to dbzer0.com. my permalinks changed from dbzer0.blogspot.com/2008/08/blah.html
to dbzer0.com/blog/blah
I could edit my IDC setting for that blog and update the permalink and domain settings to show IDC what my new format it. Then I just install the IDC plugin in my new blog and all my comments show as before.
This is probably not something easy to implement but it would be very very useful.
In my blog "my 5th floor view", all of the posts now show the comment link, whether zero comments or many.
I had to also place the add-ons, at the very bottom of the template, just like for my other blog, "my life after near death experiences", as blogger will not let me add the code to the widget boxes; i had to "force install" into the html sheet, at the very bottom of the blog, this works, in fact I suggest this to you all *as* a suggestion to others if everything else falls, in helping someone try to get the widgets to install in the widget boxes!
I really like the look of Intense Debate, and would like to put it on my blog... but I'm having three issues getting it up and running on my Typepad Advanced Template blog.
1) As I am following the installation instructions, when I select "On all Blog Posts" instead of "All new posts", the text box containing the code snippet in Step 5. disappears, leaving nothing to copy, even though Step 5 remains. (See picture) This happens in both Firefox and IE.
2) When I instead select "All new posts", I can continue with the installation instructions, but when I instruct Typepad to Publish, the publish crashes, and I get a message from Typepad telling me an error has occurred. The blog publishes fine before I put in the ID code. Playing around with it, it seems like Typepad may be refusing to publish the code provided for the entry-list-sticky template.
3) I followed the instructions for the comment import feature, but when I attempted to import the file I had exported from the site, it started to load for about 30 seconds, then the page reset as if nothing had happened, and no comments were imported. (FYI, total file size for the export is 2.5 MB, roughly 1500 posts. I don't know if the size is straining things?)
I'm having to find another blog hosting site since Blogger is screwing with the formatting I need for my blog. I'm going to have to remove the blog B and B from its present location and hopefully can put this blogdrive address in it's place.
I've just tried it on all the WP blogs I've installed IDC. It appears that the comment form anchor (which is in the form of [blog url]/[post url]#respond) does not relocate you there.
I'd like to have a new widget for "Latest comments" that doesn't take so much space. Perhaps just a simple list with each item being the author, the post title and the date as a link to the comment permalink.
i.e. Db0 on IDC Rocks! at 10/05/2525
This would allow people to put the latest comments without having them take half the sidebar over.
Optionally it would be great is we could modify the fields of the script (like rearranging the author, postname and date).
I just read that html is not supported and I wanted to put this as a idea (as opposed to just a question)
I would definitely need some kind of text formatting is IDC is to be a replacement for Wordpress' comment system. Html, bbcode, I don't really care, as long as the capability is there.
Almost all blogging platforms include some way to format your text and missing that seems to be a step back.
Necessary tags would be "a" "blockquote" "i" "b" "em" "strong" "u" and possibly "s" but definitely the first two.
I tried searching (here on the forums and on Google) but I was not able to find any references on whether Intense Debate can support importing of threaded comments from WordPress, and thread them in the same way when being imported
If it's not supported yet, I'd like to know if this is something that's coming down the pipe; threaded comments is one of the biggest draws to I.D., and it would be good if at least the major WordPress threaded comments plugins are supported. From the WP blogs that I know, Brian's Threaded Comments seem to be most popular (hence I chose to use it on my blog as well), but it's a bit janky when Intense Debate imports them and instead sorts the existing by date. The thought train is lost (I'm sure you get a picture already of how this works)
When I am viewing comments on my site, the mouse cursor remains an arrow while hovering over text, rather than being the "text" cursor (the I-beam thing).
I am using Firefox 3 on Windows. If I modify the CSS on my site and add this rule, it works correctly:
* { cursor: auto !important; }
Which tells me that Intense Debate is setting the cursor CSS property for some reason.
This is probably because you are setting it to "default" rather than "auto" somewhere. "default" means system default (the arrow), not the webrowser's default. "auto" means the web browser decides which cursor to use.
I am still getting spam on my blogs that have ID installed on as a wordpress plugin. If I turn Akismet (my spam filter) off, then I get a ton of spam that I have to go and moderate on the blogs themselves. It's not being caught by ID.
Turning Akismet back on, wordpress catches the spam but it bypasses Intense Debate all together.
How is ID supposed to be handling spam, or is this how it's done and I just have to keep Akismet on? Thanks
Can I modify bootstrap javascript code that loads commenting system to change some behavior or look? Is this legal according to terms of use?
For example I want to manually add some localization.
Anyway thank for a great service! It is looking sweet.
Support for API and server-side version would be nice.
In Arabic and Hebrew The language goes from right to left. it is very easy to code it using CSS by using direction: rtl.
but somehow, it's not working on the instant debate comment area.
I want to restyle my IDC area, but i don't know what classes to refer in my style sheet.
Can you publish a blank style sheet only with the classes names so people can override your default settings?
Also - what about support in deferent languages? Wordpress for example uses a translation function ( it goes like this: __e('Translation string')) that uses a .po / .mo files.
is it possible to add support in these functions so it will enable multi languages support?
Most of the time when I try to post a comment I get the infinite spinning icon and it never submits. I'm using Firefox 2.0 on Mac. Today I turned on Firebug to see if there was a Javascript error and it turns out there was. Below is the Firebug error message. The first part up to "can make the...." is the Firebug error. The rest is what it showed when I clicked through to browse the whole script. The bug is in commentAction.js, line #192.

Hi. I'm implementing Intense Debate on my site (http://blackjackeline.com), but it is managed by a PixelPost CMS instalation (http://pixelpost.org), and it uses dynamic URLs. So, Intense Debate get the URLs automaticaly, but I want to insert the PixelPost tag to tell the Intense Debate what are the correct permalinks. Actualy I have different coments to the three types of URL that my site do use: "http://blackjackeline.com/", "http://blackjackeline.com/index.php" and "http://blackjackeline.com/index.php?showimage=3"! But the correct permalink is only the third, since the other two may vary. Is that a way to change the Intense Debate code snipet to tell him to get the correct permalinks, and not the URL displayed in the address bar of the browser?
Very thanks for any help, and sorry for my english (I'm still learning). I really love Intense Debate (best commenting system ever!), and I don't whant to fail to use it on my site.
If you use this company's products or services, we'll add the company to your dashboard. If you work for this company, we'll add you as an employee. Got it, thanks!
