Top Commenters addon

[shazeen samad]

I been searching for this and haven`t found a working addon for Top commenter's. I have seen people using this on their pixelpost photoblog about page (With username and number of comments they did). Is there any addon like this? If so please help me out :)

Cheers!

[Dkozikowski]

I have a fancy one in the works. Nothing like you've seen publicly. If you use my Advanced Pixelpost Comment Stats addon then you will be familiar with the toggle function.

Here are some teaser screenshots.

Thanks dwilkinsjr!

I am using your addon too, But like you said, i need something to be able to show to public...

Check this http://www.moodaholic.com/about/

This is what i am talking about actually. You can see how moodaholic have used it for public . Just wondering if theres any addon like that(Top Commenters)
: )

Regards

[Dkozikowski]

Yes, that would be very easy to accomplish minus the snapshots preview.

[shazeen samad]

So? :)

[Dkozikowski]

i've been away the past couple days. In a few hours I'll have a simple version whipped up for you.

[shazeen samad]

That would be great :)

[Dkozikowski]

Ok, all set. You can grab the file by visiting My Addons RSS feed (http://www.versioncheckr.com/feed/dkozikowski).

The addon is called Top Commenters (basic)

Make sure to read the readme file.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

[shazeen samad]

IT works :) Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

You can see the Top Commenters (basic) working addon here
http://www.shazeensamad.com/index.php?x=links

What if we increase the value? of the commenters? Max is 10 i guess?

Thanks so much dwilkinsjr :)

[Dkozikowski]

max is whatever you want it to be. 1 million if you have that many commenters ;)

There are no limits per say. max="x" only tells the script to display "x" amount of commenters on the page.

[shazeen samad]

Thankkkkkkkkkkkkks man :)

I have added you to my photoblog links :)

I guess this addon can grab all the commenters too? to keep the entire list of visitors who commented without comment numbers? :)

Thanks million times :)

[Dkozikowski]

Thankkkkkkkkkkkkks man :)

I have added you to my photoblog links :)

I guess this addon can grab all the commenters too? to keep the entire list of visitors who commented without comment numbers? :)

Thanks million times :)

It can do this but not as it is right now. Not without modification anyway.
Would you like me to add the option to turn off the comment numbers?

[shazeen samad]

Yes, so that can grab the entire list, May be it will be a seperate addon, All the visitors who commented and more like credits given to them. You can see and example on here http://www.moodaholic.com/about/ :)

[Dkozikowski]

Ok, this is possible. Same addon too! Give me a few minutes to update the addon and documentation.

[Dkozikowski]

All set, http://www.versioncheckr.com/feed/dkozikowski

Read the readme file as it has changed quite a bit.

Make sure to read up on the CSS section.

[shazeen samad]

This is the same addon?

[Dkozikowski]

Yes, overwrite the old addon file.

Your current tag, <TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="40" tag="div">, will continue to work the same. The only difference will be the CSS class name.

To display a list, re-use the same tag,

<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="40" tag="ul" total="off">

[shazeen samad]

Doesnt work for me :)

[Dkozikowski]

did you re-upload the new addon file?

What does the version number say in the admin panel?

[shazeen samad]

Yes, i did,

top_commenters_basic - version 0.5



<h2>Top Commenters</h2>
<div id="topcommentersbasic"><TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="40" tag="div"></div>
<br />

<h2>Credits</h2>
<div id="topcommentersbasic"><TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="40" tag="ul" total="off"></div>
<br />

[Dkozikowski]

v0.5 is the old version!

You did not properly re-upload the new addon file.

Delete the addon file, top_commenters_basic.php

Re-download the addon file, http://dwilkinsjr.com/public/pixelpost/myaddons/top_commenters_basic_v0.5.1.zip

re-upload the addon file.

Check the version again. It should say 0.5.1

[shazeen samad]

<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="40" tag="ul" total="off">

How to bring the full list? Insted of max=40? I want to bring all.. :)

It works.. I have to fix the css now :)

[Dkozikowski]

I did not make an all switch in this version.

You can wait for an update or just set the max really high like max="1000"

And just so you know, to check for updates, login to your admin panel and find my addon in the addons pane. There is a link to check for updates there :)

[shazeen samad]

Well well well about the css in this, Is pretty difficult.. still trying to arrange :)

[Dkozikowski]

Ok, well there is another new version so you can now set max="all" Download v0.5.2 (http://dwilkinsjr.com/public/pixelpost/myaddons/top_commenters_basic_v0.5.2.zip)

CSS:

It's easier than you think ;) It's just hard to explain.

The CSS class for your Top Commenters with numbers is, topcommentersbasic-0

The CSS class for your Top Commenters without numbers is, topcommentersbasic-1

[shazeen samad]

The CSS class for your Top Commenters without numbers is, topcommentersbasic-1

For this one, I actually cannot arrange the css, Even removing <div id=topcommentersbasic> did not work..

Can i see a working link of yours for this

[Dkozikowski]

So, try this:
remove the <div id=topcommentersbasic> from your template file for now.

edit your ss.css file and place the following inside:


.topcommentersbasic-0
{
font-family: "Verdana", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
.topcommentersbasic-1
{
list-style: none;
}


Now, this is just an example for you. You may edit the above so it matches your site layout / preference.

[shazeen samad]

Yes, It works :)

Check http://www.shazeensamad.com/index.php?x=links

Thanks man, For your time and for this wonderful addon :)

[Dkozikowski]

. . . .

Thanks man, For your time and for this wonderful addon :)

No problem, enjoy :)

[shazeen samad]

I like the arrangements of Top Commenters, Just wondering whether if we can make the Credits like that... :)

[Dkozikowski]

I like the arrangements of Top Commenters, Just wondering whether if we can make the Credits like that... :)

Of course you can,

change:

<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="250" tag="ul" total="off">

to:

<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="250" tag="div" total="off">

Done!

[shazeen samad]

Credits is like a straight line, I mean is it possible to keep the credits like Top Commenters? More like all the links inside a box :P

[Dkozikowski]

Credits is like a straight line, I mean is it possible to keep the credits like Top Commenters? More like all the links inside a box :P

Yes, I saw what you did. You changed the wrong one ;)

Leave the first one alone and make the above changes to the second tag only.

Here is what it should look like when done:


<!--Your content starts here//-->
<h2>Top Commenters</h2>
<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="100" tag="div">
<br />

<h2>Credits</h2>
<TOP_COMMENTERS_BASIC max="250" tag="div" total="off">
<br />

[shazeen samad]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
FINALLY :) :) :)

salute you dwilkinsjr

[Dkozikowski]

You're welcome.

Top Blog Commenters will not work, I am getting a 500 Server Error! :(

http://talkingtree.org/photoblog/index.php?x=links

When I remove the tags, everything is back to normal...

The error:

A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server logs, fix the problem, then try again.

Also Checked Server Logs, and there was no info on why I was getting this error? Weird....

[Dkozikowski]

What version of the addon are you using?

Are you 100% sure it's the top commenters tag and not <PHOTOBLOGS_BOOKMARKS_FEED>

I've been using the <PHOTOBLOGS_BOOKMARKS_FEED> for well over 6 months, and never had a problem with it...

[Dkozikowski]

Ok, so what version of Top Commenters Basic are you using?

[cowlishaw]

Thanks

I've also contacted the server admin of my webhosting service to see if they could get info on the specific error since I could not locate any data in the logs....

I contacted my server admin and he said this:

Tom [17:04]: There is no problem with the server itself
[17:05]: The problem seem to be related to script.

[apoc]

Both basic and advanced addons don't work on my blog. When I add the tag it just displays a blank page.

Please help me out.

[Dkozikowski]

log into your admin panel, then view your photoblog

when you see the white page, add either ?errors or &errors to the url.

one of those will show you the error.

copy and paste it here.

Have you figured it out? If not, private message me your pixelpost admin login details and I'll have a look.

[Lucas80]

At first thanks for this great addon.

I got it working for a few days but now I have the same problem as apoc. When I turn it on, the page where I implemented it turns into a blank page.

Here's the errors I get when I add &errors to the URL:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in ../addons/paged_archive.php on line 588

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in ../addons/paged_archive.php on line 610

I seems to be a problem with the database but I haven't done any modifications to it. Do you have a clue?

Cheers
Lucas

[Dkozikowski]

Don't worry about those warnings. They have nothing to do with the addon and they do not effect the page in any way.

I'm pretty sure I know the reason behind the page going blank. Keep checking for updates using the link provided in the addons pane. I'll be releasing one shortly for both the advanced and basic top commenters addon.

[Lucas80]

Hi dwilkinsjr

Have you been able to fix the blank page problem?

[Dkozikowski]

Yes, i believe the issue has been fixed.

[Lucas80]

all right I tried the new Version 0.6 and now it works fine
thanks man - this is a great addon :)

cheers
Lucas
