Re: [videoblogging] Updated Video Comments plug-in: version 1.2
Hey David,
Thoughts on spam issues with plugins like this?
Can it hook into Wordpress Aksimet?
Nice work.

Hi all -
Based on some initial playing around with the video comment plugin
for wordpress, I've updated the plugin to version 1.2. You can
download the latest version at
http://www.davidmeade.com/wordpress-plugins#videoComments
Feel free to test/play-around at: http://slackspace.net/testblog/?p=11
Let me know if you find it buggy in anyway.
Changes are as follows:
-- UPDATE / CHANGE LOG --
version 1.2
* Thumbnail URLs are now validated
--- Link must point to a valid link (not resulting in 400 or 500
level http error codes)
--- Invalid images are replaced with a default thumbnail
* Video URLs are now validated
--- Link must point to a valid link (not resulting in 400 or 500
level http error codes)
* Post Permalink URLs are now validates
--- Link must point to a valid link (not resulting in 400 or 500
level http error codes)
* If a video URL is invalid, but the post permalink is good, the
thumbnail will link to that instead. (allowing link to fall through to
the permalink)
* Video Comment fields will now show up when editing an existing
comment (Allowing an administrator to go in and fix/update video
response links as needed).
--- NOTE: Currently, this requires adding a line of code to the
file wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php (pre-modified version is now
included with the plug-in). I have requested this be fixed in the core
wordpres files so that such modification is not required in the future
(http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5741). See ADVANCED INSTALLATION
OPTIONS below.
* Robust clean-up of video comment fields upon deletion of associated
wordpress comment
-- TO DO: --
* Validate links on content-type. (This is code complete but for some
reason wordpress is sometimes returning odd results for links, so I've
disabled it in this version)
-- KNOWN ISSUES: --
* Not compatible with the OpenID plugin - video comment fields are
lost when user is redirected to an OpenID url for authentication.

-- UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS --
0) download a backup of your current video comments plugin files
1) Disable your current video comments plugin
2) Delete your current video comments plugin files
3) continue with normal install instructions
-- INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS --
0) download the latest version of the video comments plugin
1) extract to a local folder on your computer
2) upload the entire VideoComments folder to your plugins directory
(wp-content/plugins)
3) activate the plugin
-- ADVANCED INSTALLATION OPTIONS --
1) update your theme's css to set max-width for the
videoResponseThumbnail class
2) ensure the line:
?php do_action('comment_form', $post-ID); ?
appears in your comments/php file for your them. (this is where the
video comment fields are added to the comment form)
3) ensure the line:
?php do_action('edit_comment_form', $comment-comment_ID); ?
appears in your wp-admin/edit-form-comment.php file. I recommend
putting this just above the Advanced section). If you aren't sure
how to do this, you can use the pre-edited edit-form-comment.php that
was included with the zip file for this plugin - just upload it it
your wp-admin folder (make a backup of your existing file first).
Thanks,
- Dave

Re: [videoblogging] Updated Video Comments plug-in: version 1.2
as far as I understand it, this should work with the moderation system
and plugins like akismet. (If that's not the case let me know).
The video fields get saved to the database once the actual comment
does, so if you have some sort of pre-screen check (captcha or
something) it should work fine (unless it somehow eats the video
response fields - let me know if you find an anti-spam plugin where
that's the case).
Once the comment is saved (and the video comment fields just
afterward) - it should be able to sit happily in a moderation queue
before its released to the site. Once it's on the site the video will
show up. (If a comment is deleted, the latest version of the plug-in
is set to remove video comment fields for that comment from the
database)
