CommentMailer released

Jump to Comments

We released an early version of the CommentMailer - plugin for WordPress weblogs. It’s a small WordPress plugin that notifies readers of incoming comments to their subscribed posts. All subscribers are managed by a database table created on the first run of the plugin.

Okay, that’s how to install:
Download the newest version of CommentMailer from Quietschbunt, unzip the archive and upload the entire folder to your WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/). After uploading please activate the plugin on the plugins page (if not activated).

To show your readers a subscribing button to each post, you have to add two lines of PHP-code to your comment-form file named ‘comments.php’ located at your theme folder of your WordPress installation (wp-content/themes/yourcurrenttheme/…). Open the ‘comments.php’ with an editor and insert the following lines after the <textarea> tag into this file.

<?php if( function_exists(’cm_insert’) ) cm_insert(); ?>
<?php if( function_exists(’cm_removal’) ) cm_removal($_GET); ?>

Okay, save the changes and upload it to your theme’s directory. Well done! Now you should see the subscribing hint below the comment textarea. You should return to your Comment’s management page and open the submenu ‘CommentMailer’ to setup the layout of your notify email or to see all your subscribers in a list (ordered by posting).
