Hi Igor,

Thanks! As always :-)
I was not aware of the re-key after the plugin has been disabled/enabled.
Do I also have start the import again after I (auto) upgrade the plugin?

Thx,
Alex

Dear JS-Kit,


The comments on http://hetnieuwewerkenblog.nl are not synced with the local WordPress database.


Not sure why this is happening,

Can you please look into this?


Thank you very much.

Hi Igor,
Thanks for your support.

Unfortunately, Echo is displayed sometimes but often it is not showing and seems to ‘hang’ while rendering...

This behavior is too intermittent for a production site.

Can you please investigate?

Thank you very much.

Echo Outage

Dear Js-kit,

Today we launched a new blog http://hetnieuwewerkenblog.nl with Echo enabled.

Right now, Echo is not loading/not showing up anymore while I have not changed anything to the code. Nasty side effect is that it is causing a delay of loading the sidebar too.

Any idea what is going on?

The url is http://hetnieuwewerkenblog.nl

Thank you very much for looking into this.

After just rereadin my post, I saw made a type too :-) Or not all HTML/code is allowed to be posted/pasted.

Your new code works like a charm and fixes the #comment link.

Cheers,

Oh before I forget, I assume this code will be included in a later release of Echo's WordPress plugin? Thanks again!

Alex Vermeule replied on September 16, 2009 07:41 to the problem "Echo's WordPress plug-in 'breaks' the #comments url" in JS-Kit:

Hi Igor,

Thank you very much for your fast response and your reply!

I had to modify the code just a little bit (notice the single quotes at the word comments):

echo "<!-- Path: $path; Uniq: $uniq -->\n";

Otherwise I'd get a parse error (syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'.) I think this has to do with the php version you use, php 5 in my case.

Anyway, thanks as always! :-)

With kind regards,

Echo's WordPress plug-in 'breaks' the #comments url

Dear JS-Kit,

A default WordPress install appends the id '#comments' to the 'comment-count-link'. E.g. http://yourdomain.com/%permalink%/#co...

This way WordPress tells you were comments section on a posting actually starts (see a default comments.php). When clicking the comment-count-link, it takes you directly to the comments area of a post, awesome functionality ;-)

However, when Echo's WordPress plug-in is enabled, it break this functionality as Echo does not seem to use the #comments id to start/tell where the comments on your page start. As a result, the permalink is opened without taking you to the comments section...

A hack would probably adding the comments id to the plug-in code somewhere. Any idea where and if you can fix this?

Thank you very much.

With kind regards,
Alex Vermeule

Hi Philippe,

You are welcome! I think the best solution would be to have an option in Echo's Wordpress plugin that allows you to set this label. Then you do not have to hack it as my example above. Another possibility is to be able to 'override' the label with javascript, but that does not seem the best solution in terms of speed and user experience.

Looking forward to your localization efforts so I can use Echo in Dutch :-)

Best regards,

Customize/remove the word 'Comments' when using Echo with WordPress

Dear Js-kit,

When using Echo together with WordPress, Echo does not allow you to change/remove the word 'Comments" after the comment-count.

Echo does allows you to tweak the comment-count-number using the JSKitCommentsCountFilter function as described on http://wiki.js-kit.com/Admin+Guide+-+....

However, in order to remove or translate the word 'Comments', you need to edit the Echo's WordPress Plugin file in the following way:

function jskit_comments_number() {
global $post;

$uniq = jskit_get_post_uniq_value($post->ID);
$number = '0';

This is definately a hack so it seems like a must have feature (also from a localization perspective) to be able to change or modify the word 'Comments'.

Thanks very much for considering this.

With kind regards,

Alex Vermeule

And incase you are wondering what to use:

Use the following code:
JSKitLib.addLoadEvent(function(){
init();
});

Instead of
window.onload = init

Alex Vermeule replied on September 11, 2009 13:10 to the question "How to change the behaviour and text of the comment count link" in JS-Kit:

Hi Igor,

Thanks very much for your help! For those reading this thread, Igor found out that one of my own .js files caused troubles on the page. It used the following code:

if(document.childNodes) {
window.onload = init
}
This overrided Echo's "onload" event, disabling the the JSKitCommentsCountFilter function.

Thanks again Igor.

With kind regards,
Alex Vermeule

How to change the behaviour and text of the comment count link

Hi, I am using WordPress together with ECHO and I want to change the behaviour of the comment-count link on my homepage and postings.

This is what I want to achieve:

0 comments -> display nothing at all
1 comment -> display '1 Reactie'
2 comment -> display '2 Reacties'
3 comment -> display '3 Reacties'
Etc.
Comments Closed -> display 'Reacties gesloten'

My wordpress template uses the following code to normally achieve that:
<?php comments_popup_link( __( '', 'blank' ), __( '1 Reactie', 'blank' ), __( '% Reacties', 'blank' ), 'comments-link', __('Reacties gesloten', 'blank')); ?>

As soon as I enable the Echo plugin for Wordpress, the Echo adds it's functionallity and this function is not used anymore. This is what I expected however, I am confused how to achieve the results as described above with Echo enabled.

When Echo is enabled, the comment count is displayed as 'X Comments', where X is the number of comments.

According to the WIKI (http://wiki.js-kit.com/Admin+Guide+-+...) I need to use the
JSKitCommentsCountFilter function. However adding the JSKitCommentsCountFilter(count) example code from the WIKI in my header.php does not change any behavior.

Can someone please explain to me how to achieve the desired results?
Thanks very much.
