glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
glg_subscribe_comments allows your visitors to subscribe the discussion of an article.
It add a checkbox below the comment form. If the visitor check it when he comments, he will receive a mail notification every time a new comment is posted.
The plugin works well if you have the moderate_comments preference activated.
You can customize the content of the notification mail and the format of the subject.
The notification mail provides a link to unsubscribe.
Get it there : glg_subscribe_comments v1.01
You can get more information on my blog.
If you find bugs or spelling and grammar mistakes please let me know.
Known bugs or Help mistakes :- There is a bug in the unsubscribe link format. See this post to fix it.
- In Help, the name of the tag
<txp:glg_subscribe_checkbox_label />is wrong. You have to use<txp:glg_subscription_checkbox_label />in place of it.
Language plugins
I’ve developed a plugin that translate glg_subscribe_comments in French :
If you’re interested by developing one in another language, let me know.
Requirements
texpattern 4.2
Seems to work fine with textpattern 4.3.
- Removed the glg_debug function that was only a development tool. You may delete log.txt on your website root.
- When reinstalling the plugin or upgrading, the plugin preferences are no more overwrited.
- Fix the unsubscribe link format bug.
- Add the possibility to activate a Double Opt-in feature (send a mail to visitor to confirm subscription).
- Clarify the Help (show examples)
- In Help, Change
<txp:glg_subscribe_checkbox_label />(wrong tag) to<txp:glg_subscription_checkbox_label />(right tag).

Hi,
I Didn’t know about it.
It’s not implemented in glg_subscribe_comments, but it could be in the next version.
I add this feature on the todo-list.

Re: glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
Any hints why the subscribers don’t get the comments via email? The adresses are put correctly in the mysql-table, but no message-sending does happen. Email-adress for “From” and “reply-to” fields in the plugin-preference is the same as in the admin-preferences, this email-adress is allowed to send via sendmail and smtp (had to “verify” the sendmail path for my hoster via php.ini).
Would be great if anybody has an idea how I could bring this great plugin to work!

Interesting bug.
Do you know if it works when you leave plugin prefs blank ?
What kind of host is it (Linux or Windows)?

Re: glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
Nope, blank plugin-prefs didn’t work. Host is Linux with PHP Version 5.2.12
I’ve found an logfile on my webspace in the main directory:
[debug] glg_saveComment_and_notify IN
[debug] $glg_new_comment_url :http://www.MYDOMAIN.de/TITLE#c000134
[debug] glg_saveComment_and_notify IN
[debug] $glg_new_comment_url :hhttp://www.MYDOMAIN.de/TITLE#c000135
(I’ve made the domain anonymous). Should it be like that?

Re: glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
I just checked my code and saw that I forget to remove my logging function in the last version. :/
I am at work and have not access to my FTP. I will fix the plugin tonight and upload a new version.
Maybe your problem comes from here (But I’m not sure at all).
However, your logfile seems wrong, a log just before the call to mail() function is missing. So the problem could come from the plugin. I’m investigating.

Re: glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
Ok, it seems that a problem occurs during the parsing of form “glg_comment_notification”.
Did you modify it?
(Actually the logfile is very useful… I think about just desactivate it by default).

No, just left it “as it is”.

Re: glg_subscribe_comments : subscribe to article's comments
I’ve just uploaded v1.01.
I deleted the glg_debug function.
I added in the first post a language plugin that translate glg_subscribe_comments in French. Tell me if someone wish to translate it to another language.
I’m sorry phuture but I still don’t know where your problem comes from.
Do you use another plugin that interacts with comments?
Try to delete temporaly <txp:comment_message /> from glg_comment_notification form and try again. I suspect that your problem comes from this tag.
Did you activate comment moderation? In this case notifications are sent only when the comment is made visible.
