Based on aroc's Side Comments .js to enable inline commenting

wp-side-comments

Based on Eric Anderson's SideComments.js to enable inline commenting. Medium.com-style inline commenting for WordPress

Please note that this project is very much in beta. Alpha, even. It's being actively developed and there will be several items going upstream to the main javascript library, too.

I'd absolutely love to have some feedback in terms of bug reports or pull-requests!

wp-side-comments's Issues

Unmung the CSS file so different themes can be loaded more easily.

At the moment, all the CSS is in one file. That's...terribad.

Non-logged in comments

At the moment, if the user isn't logged in, they can't comment. (actually there's a JS error, but that will be fixed in the next commit)

Allow for the user to enter their details. i.e. use the comment_form() function to produce the markup.

This will need to be a change upstream?

The README. Seriously.

It's kinda pathetic. Sort your life out, Tape.

Plugin Name

@richardtape , there is another wordpress plugin with the same name on the "wordpress network". This causes a problem with this plugin, since they have the same name (wp-side-comments). On the project I'm working now we are using your plugin, but the wordpress asks to do an update on it (based on the other wp-side-comments plugin).

So, what do you think about renaming it? I've thought about wp-sideComments or something like that.

Cheers and thanks for this plugin! =)
[Soon we will send a PR to add a reply functionality to it]

Delete comments

Hook up the JS/AJAX for deleting a comment

Studiorum_Lectio_Utils ?

What's the class Studiorum_Lectio_Utils, sorry?

Comment permission

When I've got comments turned off for a post, I am still allowed to make an inline comment.

Interesting style issues going on :)

I gave this a try on my site http://wpmedia.pro/how-i-went-about-recording-video-at-a-wordcamp/ just to test it out, love the idea I'm going to start working on the CSS issues that are going on with it.

z-index of sidebar

The comments container can get hidden behind elements which don't move. Need to really bump up the z-index so it's on top.

Unmung the JS

At the moment all of the Javascript is loaded in one (unminified...this is beta ;) ) file. Separate and provide minified versions.

Permalinks to comments

Each comment could easily have a permalink - ensure that if visiting a permalink directly that the side commentd drawer is opened and the relevant comment is highlighted.

Comment replies

First; do comment replies make sense in this scenario.
Second; if they do (big if), how do we handle permalinks to replies and styling.

Make containing element a filter

'.commentable-container' is hardcoded in wp-side-comments.js

This should be passed through as a part of the commentsData object so that it can be edited via a filter/option

Plugin should use display_name and not user_nicename for flexibility

Commenting causes username eg. "ds" to be listed in database as Author Name instead of "David Stenbeck"

EDIT: I had my username as nicename on the site in question. The problem is that the script uses $user->user_nicename and then fallbacks to user_login.

The Script should use $user->display_name to set the commenters name to their chosen public display name.

Same name?

You don't have anything to do with this plugin, I assume: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-side-comments/

Manuel :-)

Add filters to load different themes

Allow loading a different theme other than the default
