    This is better than commentluv I think. But what is feedbite? :D
  • Hussein · 1 year ago
    The latest blog post works good. But I didn't understand the other feature. :( What's the purpose of that points?
  • wesley · 1 year ago
    You gone ahead and did it :) It's very cool. The purpose of the points is to track your bonus points, e.g. 5 points if you twitter about this contest, etc etc.
  • Hussein · 1 year ago
    Now I know..

    I think this plugin need some more update :evil:
  • Keith Cash · 1 year ago
    Amazing little plug in.. Working it. Had problems not getting any of the feeds to save. Kept getting errors. Should be a good tool.

    Cheers
  • Emma · 1 year ago
    Cool plugin let's see how it works. :cool:
  • Emma · 1 year ago
    I get it now very cool. This would be great for running a contest and having people accumulate points and getting some links etc. Really clever. :grin:
  • Tom · 1 year ago
    aha, now I understand how this works - neat!

    Could do with losing the long list of smilies above the comment box though
  • Clog Money · 1 year ago
    I quite like the keyword for the hyper link. But the rest of it is a bit confusing and makes the comment section look cluttered!
  • Clog Money · 1 year ago
    Ohh and the link it provides is do follow as well. Very nice ;)
  • John Cow · 1 year ago
    There is actually an option to select nofollow or not.
  • Mike Huang · 1 year ago
    Really good plugin, but would it ever be a problem when you have a lot of comments? It seems like the comments will pull down a bit too much. Maybe a possible AJAX feature to have it minimize/maximize in the future.

    This is a cool plugin. :cool:
  • Chris Jacobson · 1 year ago
    Trying that again...
  • J.R. Jackson · 1 year ago
    Interesting post. I might want to add something like this to my blog.

  • Shana D. · 1 year ago
    Nice. Agree with showing comments first.
  • Miguel Alvarez · 1 year ago
    Commenting on blog posts is a good way to drive traffic and generate social proof. However, this plug-in may be a tad complicated for regular commenters who have no clue about SEO.
  • John Cow · 1 year ago
    You would only use the extra fields if you are holding a contest and you can assign which post would have the extra fields.
  • slee · 1 year ago
    not sure on this plugin seems more to fill out i look forward to seeing your instructions and reasons for the extra fields :)
  • MLRebecca · 1 year ago
    Wow, very impressive! CommentMILK sounds like an awesome blog plugin. You've created the plugin that does it all! I can't wait to see it in action! Congrats!
  • Ben - frogstr.com · 1 year ago
    What if I didn't subscribed to the newsletter and I check subscribed to newsletter? That will give me more points even if I don't deserve them?
  • Allyn · 1 year ago
    So much to type in, I forgot what I actually wanted to comment about. DOes that make sense?
  • judge · 1 year ago
    Great idea, but looks a bit strange at the moment, adds to much bluff to the comments.
    Presume it has an admin interface where these extra details can be viewed rather than viewing them on the comments?
  • EmmaB · 1 year ago
    Just wanted to test out the thingy. CommentMilk sounds like CommentLuv. Lots of things added to the comments box. Will there be a way for the plugin to only be active on one post/page?
  • NaldzGraphics · 1 year ago
    just a suggestion if Blog Post URL & twitter are linked i would be much better too:)
  • Patrick Riddle · 1 year ago
    Not sure what I think yet but seems pretty cool.
  • Andy Bailey · 1 year ago
    oh noes!! commentluv gone and I had just got the heart box sorted for all blogs too! :sad:
    before I was on commentluv I was considering making a contest supporting commentform but it only allocated a random number to each unique comment author to put into a virtual hat come competition time.

    I like the idea of an extended commentform and I think it works well on a make money blog because most visitors are familiar with things like twitter, keyword hyperlinks and such but no so sure on a regular journal type blog.

    maybe even less on a blog who doesn't get as much traffic or isn't as famous and thus reluctant to give out links so freely.

    I think I could work in some extra features to commentluv to accomplish this too, simple to add an options page for registered members to add non-feed links to their list of last posts so a twitter link or keyword will follow the list of their last 10 posts....

    not sure though, have to thunk about it
  • Andy Bailey · 1 year ago
    I felt I should say that as a contest assist plugin it is great! can it be switched on or off per post?
  • Franklin Bishop · 1 year ago
    I think this plug-in will just confuse new visitors to your blog. If they never read this blog post and they will not even understand all the different boxes they have to fill in. I think the idea is a really good one however you can scare away a lot of new visitors that could be potential subscribers and readers.
  • John Cow · 1 year ago
    I think you are misunderstanding the plugin. It would only have the extra fields on the contest post. The contest post would then have instructions.

    If people are not reading the post they should not be commenting anyway.
  • Andy Bailey · 1 year ago
    If people are not reading the post they should not be commenting anyway.


    haha, that is true and something I find again and again on my plugin pages. People will read down to the download link and no further! the amount of people I get asking questions on the installation instructions page that are answered between the download link and the comment form is getting silly.

    For your plugin, I think maybe having the contest post use a javascript slide down div with the extra fields in it would be more user friendly and prevent people that don't read the full post from entering a contest they didn't know about.

    You wouldn't need to alter the comment form and could use javascript to insert the additional fields' data into hidden fields on the comment form and then process them at the pre_process_comment hook, hmmm, sounds like a personal project beginning to form... :)

    good luck with your plugin.
  • wesley · 1 year ago
    No need to make duplicate plugins with just some minor differences, the internet tubes are clogged up as it is already.
  • Mrs S · 1 year ago
    Interesting concept - I am part of a book blogging community and we're always doing contests, this would definitely help.
  • Mike Gates · 1 year ago
    Interesting plugin. I like that it gathers more info than other comment plugins.

    I would like to see the Twitter and Feedbite urls hyperlinked. I think these links could be nofollow since you're already giving dofollow to keywords.

    Will the plugin user be able to modify/add fields? For example, if I didn't want Twitter, but wanted StumbleUpon instead, could I change it?

  • George Ward · 1 year ago
    Interesting plug-in. There are a lot of options to fill in but I guess you are free to ignore them as some posters have.

    It will be interesting to get my hands on this and see what it can do.

  • Bob · 1 year ago
    Good idea. I've been told that many of these plugins have hidden links to the author's site each time it is used. Is this true? What about your plugin?
  • Mark Fulton · 1 year ago
    John, seems interesting and has potential. Of course useful for managing contests... makes things a heck of alot less messy.
  • Reed · 1 year ago
    This is an awesome plugin. I'm liking the fact that you are branding so many helpful tools with the john cow name. Keep them coming, you run an excellent business.
  • sanketp · 1 year ago
    it's not that hard to understand how it works

    :lol:
  • CD Rates Blog · 1 year ago
    I can see why you would want this for contests. Also, the fact that you can enter your own keywords is cool.

    So I'm guessing the blog post URL is the one that would show where a mention of the contest was or is the one you want mentioned such as the most recent post that CommentLuv would pull.

    I still think CommentLuv is great because of its simplicity.
  • Andre Thomas · 1 year ago
    This is a whole new level of commenting man. Awesome plugins, I like the hyperlinked keywords thing.
  • Susan · 1 year ago
    Hrmm...seems like a lot a boxes to fill in.
  • Kyle · 1 year ago
    Nice work...this should come in handy. :grin:
  • nggablog · 1 year ago
    yummy... yummy,,, make people health drinking milk. let blogger health using comment milk. :razz:
  • Ryan McLean · 1 year ago
    Hmmmm,
    random....a little confusing and annoying....we will see
  • Louis Liem · 1 year ago
    Nice work, Cow!
  • Amit · 1 year ago
    Nice plugin, cant wait to put it in use!
  • Laowai · 1 year ago
    I'm missing this checkbox "Maybe I like this plugin, I have to test run it first"
  • Chadrack · 1 year ago
    Can't get the real deal about this plugin yet I love for the free link love
  • Tim · 1 year ago
    It looks interesting, let's wait and see how it works with instructions.
    I think also that could be good to have the chance to change some of the questions, like Twitter and Feedbite.
  • domainpubber · 1 year ago
    Looks like a great new plugin, but aren't you concerned Google will penalize your site John? I mean commentluv is one thing but actually allowing comentators to receive anchor links seems like you're entering a pretty "gray" area.
  • John Cow · 1 year ago
    Well unless I am behind on my knowledge... since when has Google been penalizing people for that?
  • Keith · 1 year ago
    Slick idea...I thought of the same thing awhile back...well sort of a combo between this and the social plugin...where commentators would fill in their social profile usernames and then an icon will display with a link...problem was, I wanted a way for it to add it to the cookie so it didn't have to be re-typed all the time...
    Creating an account is something I never though of, plus I didn't have a reliable programmer...or enough of a desire to follow thru with it :)
  • Registry Easy · 1 year ago
    Ok, just tried to post twice and got a big long error message. Will try this once more, not sure if its working...

    =========================
    People have always used anchor text they want in the "Name" field for links from blog comments anyways.

    Nice plugin Cow. I like.

    Hi JC,

    This is really interesting! I'm really curious to see how this plug in would be different than the CommentLuv plugin. I really hope that this plugin will work with my blog 'coz for some reason CommentLuv does not, no matter how many times I've tried to tweak it around :(

    Thanks for all your hard work!
  • Terry · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the plugin. Going to test it out in my new blog
  • Tay · 1 year ago
    This is a great plugin, thanks!
  • Convert to · 1 year ago
    I am installing the CommentMilk! This is another great feature for my website.
  • Registry Easy · 1 year ago
    I really like the idea of this new plugin. Although I tried posting a comment several days ago, and got a big script error message screen, im going to give it another shot.

    Ok, here goes...

  • Sheena · 1 year ago
    Found your plugin in my wordpress admin. Checking it out :wink:
  • Nice from Thailand · 1 year ago
    Wow this plugin is cool. I plan to integrate it to my blog.
  • Joshua Dorkin @ BiggerPockets · 1 year ago
    Great Idea! Perhaps it will eliminate the need for people to use keywords instead of their name in their comments.
  • Rob · 10 months ago
    I'm going to bookmark this site and revisit. Looks like you have some good information here.
