Two questions
Hi to you all,
Two thinks puzzle me:- how do page links in my log file get bold? What do viewers of my site do?
- Does TxP search comments?
Thanks in advance!

About the comments: is it on a wish list somewhere?

They post a comment.

@ wet: If that was the case, I should have much more comments! So it’s something else….?

Re: Two questions
In detail:
Log entries are bold whenever a POST request is logged. POST requests commonly occur on two occassions:
- a visitor previews a comment, host replies with a preview and a status code 302 (redirect temporarily)
- a visitor submits a comment, host replies a “Thanks for your comment” message and a status code 200 (ok)
A successful comment thus produces two bold log entries (with full logs enabled):
<strong><code>06 Sep 2006 12:48:36 PM XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX request/uri/here POST 302</code></strong>
06 Sep 2006 12:48:36 PM XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX request/uri/here?commented=1 GET 200
<strong><code>06 Sep 2006 12:48:13 PM XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX request/uri/here POST 200</code></strong>
06 Sep 2006 12:47:53 PM XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX request/uri/here GET 200
So, if you receive less comments than the bold entries would suggest, it is attributable to the fact that a larger part of your visitors decides – after having previewed his comment – that his essay on the advantages of viagra, cialis and cheap mortgage does not exactly fit the theme of your site. And then leaves silently, thank God.

Re: Two questions
@Wet: thanks for the clear explanation!!
And by the way, what do you know on the issue of the search function in TxP not searching comments? Is that planned somewhere on a roadmap?
Thanks!!

Re: Two questions
zeeforel,
There was a recent thread on searching excerpts here and that appears to be possible, so I can’t see why comments couldn’t be searched.
You should start a thread in the Plugin Requests section… I would like to see an option for checkboxes, like:
[SEARCH BOX]
[ ] Search Comments
[ ] Search Excerpts

Re: Two questions
Beate Paland posted a patch to make Textpattern search through custom fields. This could be useful as a launch pad for a plugin.
