Releasing soon AkoComment 2.2.5

Thursday, 09 March 2006 09:51

Finally I will soon release Akocomment 2.2.5 (the one which is working on my homepage) with comment tracking among other new functionalities...

Please use the tracker at sourceforge and give me (us) ideas of what kind of functionalities You want to see in it. If You want to avoid the hassle of creating an account or do not know how to, You can also use this thread to submit ideas as comments.

My ideas Are:

Since

Hashcash is not intrusive, user has nothing to do to enter a comment (the cryptographic anti spammer check occur in the background)
SecurityImages use captcha, and so force user to enter character he has read in an image

I was thinking since a long time of using a 3rd party authority with is more smarter than me in oder to determine if the comment is a real spam, and I found this:

Akismet Automatic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again. When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down. With Akismet, you're always protected up-to-the-second from the latest dirty tricks of spammers. There's no maintenance, no upgrading, no hassle.
This work as webservice, so code changes are minimal and quite easy to do

A Plugin system to allow extensions more easily (Plugin can be registered in a linked list or similar) at runtime

Get inspiration from existing commenting systems, or simply be creative!
Please submit ideas fast! I will then assign priority them in the tracker

show/hide function

A-Hoernchen (208.50.230.xxx) 2006-03-10 16:14:04

Hi!

you do a really great job and i would like to submit an idea:

is it
possible to add show/hide functionality to the comments? i'm thinking of
"mosComment" as an example. it's possible there to hide comments per
default and only if you click on the "show comments" button they are
displayed. this way even very short articles stay clear and don't get
"bloated" by comments"

i really hope it's possible to add similar
functionality to akocomment plus.

regards,

A-Hoernchen

Which Copyright Code

Guest (84.59.64.xxx) 2006-03-10 16:44:21

Walter as i stated in an other comment most of "his" code is from
postnuke and under GPL which means the whole is under GPL so it doesn`t matter
what Arthur say.

Predator

P.S. Als would it be good to make your
Commentsystem ready for using with Joomla! 1.1 if you need help be this give me
a note.

Akocomment died and rebirth under openco

Walter Cedric (80.218.20.xxx) 2006-03-11 16:13:31

I've put a lot of power today into finishing refactoring and rewrite of
akocomment into opencomment.
There is 15 more settings and the code is a lot
clearer...

There is so much changes thta it need a good testing...code will
be committed to cvs soon

Ive also installed Joomla 1.1 alpha to test the new
code.

Show/Hidef

Like A-Hoernchen mentioned a Show/Hide feature like Phil Taylor’s ComboMax and
the most important (for me) keeping comment intact when upgrading to
OpenComment, Thanks for keeping this great component alive.
