Introducing the Comment Info Tip Plugin
You asked for it – now you got it!
This WordPress plugin provides you and your commenter’s a bit of information on their posting stats.
How It Works
When you mouseover a commenter’s name you will see a tip appear displaying some information about that given commenter. The tip will display 1 of 4 results:
- If the commenter has only posted once then it will say so in the tip (see number 1 in the legend below).
- If the commenter has posted more than once we will look up the last three posts they have commented in and display links to those posts. This allows you to see which type of posts this user is interested in and easily navigate to those posts (see number 2 in the legend below).
- If the commenter has posted more than once we will attempt to search their RSS feed and show an excerpt from their last post (see number 3 in the legend below).
- If it’s a pingback or trackback the tip will indicate so (see number 4 in the legend below).

Hey all, now you know why I haven’t posted in more than a week. I have been working hard on this plugin. Thanks to Paul and Rafael for all their help.
Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Not sure how it works? Just mouseover my name above (Golgotha). See the tip!
May 5th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Cool gimmick, but what about adding your addon to the official wordpress plugin download?
Would be easier to maintain for all users.
May 5th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Wow… this is a fantastic plugin…. when I get home from work (leaving now) I will definitely be installing this!!!
May 5th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Golgotha, it’s great to see that you made the comment info feature a WP plugin! I’m Twittering it now as I type, oh and anyone who likes the plugin can digg it up here:

Nice! Thanks for the plugin – installing it ASAP
May 6th, 2008 at 3:19 am
Congrats on the plugin…I’m gonna have to install that!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Love it! Keep up the good work.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Be sure to let me know if you have installed it. Since it’s new I want to make sure it’s working well.
May 7th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Cool plugin.
Will install it in my blog too
May 7th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I’m really enjoying this plugin. I find myself visiting all your blogs more often now thanks to the excerpt it displays.

Left a comment earlier but think it may have ended up in Spam.
Has anyone seen an issue with the Recent Comments widget? This plugin causes the recent commenters to stop wrapping so screws up the page page alignment for me.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to have it only operate on single post pages?
I’m on WP 2.5.1
May 8th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Hey Colin, thanks for the feedback. Let me head on over to your blog and see what you are talking about. OR if you have a screenshot that may help too.
“Is there a way to have it only operate on single post pages?” – right now, no.
May 8th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
OK, I’ll re-enable it so you can see it.
site is colinwalker.me.uk
May 8th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Hey Colin, I see what you are talking about.
In the comment-info-tip.css file you can try and remove the last line:
But keep in mind what the tip is doing. It tries to find the top, right location of the commentators name. If that is multiple lines then you may see some unexpected results; which is why the CSS is there to stop wrapping.
I’m not sure what else can be done, but I will give it some more thought. Thanks and keep me posted.
There are some other cosmetic changes I have noted for the next release too.
May 8th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Thanks.
That did stop the issue but the popup still falls off the right of the page if your recent comments are on th eright hand side.
Perhaps an option to see the flyout direction to either right or left in the next version or a detection to see if it will cause this and automatically switch.
May 8th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
@Colin, yep, may need some logic to pop up left or right. Oh well, still not bad for version 1 as it should work for MOST blogs just fine. Just not for Colin
May 8th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
hehehe – I like to be awkward

I’m sorry but it doesn’t work for me, which may be due to the fact that I’m using WP-Supercache. Just wanted to let you know
May 13th, 2008 at 8:11 am
hello, I have installed your plugin on my blog: Helektron.com and the characters are not displayed well. I am using UTF-8. Any idea?
May 13th, 2008 at 8:13 am
@Luke – sorry, I’m not sure why WP-Supercache would be a factor, but I’m sure that the plugin won’t work for everybody. I tried to create it in such a way that it would work for as many blogs as possible, but it’s hard to make something for ALL themes.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:51 am
@Victor – I’m not sure what you mean by “the characters are not displayed well?” One thing that I need to fix is the line-height. I need to lock it at 1.2em. Some people, you are one of them, have set a line-height in their body and that is effecting the spacing.
You can modify the CSS and set .commentTipPopUp to line-height:1.2em
I will be making some fixes this weekend.

Hi, the plugin looks fantastic but I can’t get it to work on my site at all. I thought maybe it was down to a plugin clash, and tried turning all the others off but no luck whatsoever.
Any ideas? I’d love to get this up and running. I’m wondering, maybe there’s a way of inserting some code manually into my theme’s comment.php file or some such, to force it to work?
I’m using wp-ajax-comments for on-site editing of comments by admin and users, but as I say, it doesn’t seem to impact whether that’s turned on or off.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Weird. I just turned off every plugin then reactivated this one first before the others, and that seems to have made it work. I’m no php guru but am left wondering why the order in which plugins are activated should make a difference? Whatever’s going on, it’s now working… Hurrah! And it’s great! Thank you.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:48 am
well, its very useful plugin but
The first time I activated it, it worked but when I mouseover on the commenter name, it give me a the tip but with the whole design of my blog crashed in it.
I tried to deactivate the plugin to see whats wrong and when I activated it again, it didn’t work! (it gives me just “loading …” in the tip)
help please
May 15th, 2008 at 3:03 am
Hi, nice Plugin but wont work on my blog :/
I think it’s a .js conflict problem…
May 15th, 2008 at 3:09 am

This is a great plugin, but it doesn’t want to play nicely with the Wavatars plugin (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1462) – it causes the generation of a second wavatar right next to the original one. Have a look at some of the commented-on posts on my blog and you’ll see what I mean.

May 15th, 2008 at 7:06 am
Too bad. It seems that I use one of the themes for which this won’t work…
May 15th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Hi there, I like the plugin really much.
But I have a little complaint. This plugin only shows information for commenters who have added their URL, if not, the plugin doesn’t work.
What do I have to do to show info for every commenter, no matter if they have a web or not?
Thanks and bye!!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Huh… weird. The plugin works fine on your site with Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13… but when I try it on my site, it only worked on Firefox 2.0.0.14. Nothing shows up in Internet Explorer.
Must be a conflict with another plugin or my theme… Oh well.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
@Andy – strange, but I’m glad you got it working.
@Ahmed Hazem – since all your commenter’s names are on the right and the tip also appears to the right of the name it may end up displaying the horizontal scrollbar for you. Sorry.
@stagueve – could you be a little more descriptive? What is happening?
@apple.bloks.cat and @Jaluro – If they don’t give a url then there is no link. That’s how WordPress did it so I just left it that way.
@BG – I took a look, but you must have deactivated the plugin before I could tell. But I want to say it’s the Wavatars plugin that is not playing well with the Comment Info tip plugin
@koz – I realize that it won’t work for every blog, but it really should work for most blogs. The tip is absolute positioned (which removes it from the flow) and it’s right before the close of the body; this should allow it to work on most blogs.
@FruityOaty – It should work in Firefox, IE6 and IE7 and Opera. I tested it there. You may have something else causing a problem?
May 15th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
It’s very simple, Plugin activated and with IE7 or FF2 nothing happens… :/
May 15th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Nice, nice.
Can I translate it into spanish? I don’t kow if I have to ask you, but I think so. Well, just waiting for an answer

Tried but got many errors though I tried to fix it.
I fixed it to my own url
rss.php under wp-includes in wordpress 2.5 has lots of errors since came out, your plugin will not work.
Is it compatible with WordPress 2.5? I’m using 2.5.1 for my site.

@Golgotha – your plugin’s been kept active on my blog for the last 16 hours, have another look. Try http://beardedgit.com/?p=440#comment-2978
I posted a blog entry about it yesterday, I’ve now added a screenshot.
I’ve had Wavatars active for many months now with no ill effects. Later today I’ll try the Gravatars plugin too and see what happens.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:37 am
@Golgotha – Ok, thanks a lot, I’ll see if I can solve this problem.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Great plugin, maybe I’ll use it on my blog with the new plugin.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:21 am
@Myo Kyaw Htun – I’m running 2.5 and it works just fine. I also have an older blog that runs it just fine. In addition, rss.php is a WordPress file that I use. I did not write that one. I simply use it’s functionality and it doesn’t throw a single error for me, so I don’t know why it does for you? Sorry.
@BG – Ok, I see what you are talking about, but I’m not sure why? Let me know what happens with Gravatars and I’ll see what I can find out.
May 16th, 2008 at 8:44 am
Thanks for having another look, Golgotha.
It works fine with the Gravatars plugin and with the Easy Gravatars plugin.
If you need any more info, just shout.
May 16th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Golgotha : never mind. Most people seem to be satisfied. So… Too bad for me. But it’s not tragic.

hmmm…this wonderful plugin doesn’t seem to work with Brians Threaded Comments.
Any clue how one can remedy this???
May 18th, 2008 at 1:33 am
Hi,
Firstly let me congratulate you on a good idea. It’s a nice little plugin that provide some interesting information for both, admin and other users.
I downloaded and installed it and it seems to work very well on my 2.3.3 installation.
I do have a couple of points to raise. Firstly the color. On my theme I will have to edit the image and re-color the CSS. Obviously not a big problem but perhaps you could either reconsider the colors to work on light and dark themes or offer a light and dark version.
The second point is more important and that almost makes it a show stopper for me.
I dislike forcing my readers to leave their emails, so I unchecked this option in my admin settings.
This means all posters who leave a URL but no email address a treated as one person. At least that what it looks like.
Is it possible to use the username instead of the email?
May 18th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Taking very long time to load…
May 18th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
@PlanetPhillip – Feel free to mod the colors. I use the email address because that’s more of a unique-identifier. Two people are not likely to have the same email address, but it’s pretty common for two people to use the same name. So that’s why I chose the email address.
May 19th, 2008 at 3:15 am
I fully understand your reasons and perhaps I should have forced my readers to use an email address, but is it easy to edit to use the name instead of the email? I’m just a “cut and paste” kinda guy.
TIA
May 19th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Works very satisfying!!
May 19th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Thanks for this, it’s very cool! I made a few tweaks, most you can see if you go to my blog. Behind the scenes, I added checks for some other feed url formats because there were quite a few that “?feed=rss” wasn’t picking up (most notably Blogger’s, and a lot of my commenters use Blogger). Also changed to look at author url rather than email as the distinguishing field. Is there a reason I shouldn’t be doing this? Thanks again, great plugin.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:17 am
@Susan and ALL – feel free to mod it, but please don’t redistribute it and if you wouldn’t mind please send me your moded files. I may decide to incorporate the changes into the next version.
Thanks,
Mark
May 19th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Hello, thanks for this great plugin.
But there are some problems: if wordpress tables have prefix, that istn’t “wp_” – plugin don’t work.
if replace tablename from “wp_comments” to $wpdb->comments – plugin work correctly.
PS – sorry for my terrible English.
May 19th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
@EvilFaeton – interesting, good to know. I will be making an update this weekend.
May 20th, 2008 at 6:19 pm

May 20th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
***************
VERSION 1.2
***************
New version released – 1.2
I’ve made changes to the SQL as well as some CSS additions.
Once again, I don’t expect this plugin to work for everyone. Some of you do god-only-knows with your layout. However, since the plugin places the tip div right before the close of the body and then moves it into position via means of JavaScript it should work for ‘most’.
May 21st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Ok All, I need your feedback as I think I will submit the Comment Info Tip to this plugin competition!
I have been making changes to it all day today. It now uses the author’s URL instead of the email address to look up the info. This does make more sense because if they don’t have a URL you won’t get a tip anyways.
Also, thanks to Susan we now get post excerpts from other blogging platforms, like Blogger and not just WordPress.
So keep your suggestions coming and keep checking for updates.
May 21st, 2008 at 11:45 pm
hmmm, still having problems getting this amazing plugin to work with ‘Brian’s Threaded Comments’.
For some reason the ‘loading…’ message pops up in Firefox but nothing else happens…
Any ideas???
May 23rd, 2008 at 8:50 am
Hello- I just installed this plugin. Like Chris, all I get is “loading…” though. The only other “comment” plugin I have installed is Commentluv, which I deactivated to see if that would help, and it didn’t. Just thought I’d let you know. I’ll leave it activated for a bit if you want to check what I mean on my site. Thanks for the great plugin, hoping to see it working soon.
Thanks again,
Jim

I installed this plugin for my blog but when I mouse over the commentator’s link, I get “loading……” with no information popping up about the commentator.
Any idea why? I waited for several minutes to give it time to load but nothing pops up. The word “loading” stays there.
Stephen
May 27th, 2008 at 4:21 am
Am in general a fan of this after installing today. Really excellent idea and well implemented, promotes a good commenting community.
Couple of points:
Although I have seo friendly URLs enabled on the site, the plugin directs to the basic “blogname.com/?p=35″ URL. That still works functionally but isn’t so great for analysing web stats. Any way to change that?
Also any way of changing the information shown – e.g. able to take out the blog post snippet from the pop-up? Won’t necessarily do this, but curious on the functionality.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:22 am
@Stephen – no, not yet, Jim L has experienced that same problem. I haven’t had time to really explore why yet. But I will try and figure it out this week.
@Robin – I will have to look into the URL issue and see if there is anything that can be done. As for removing the blog post snippet, you can’t configure the tip right now.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Thanks – I appreciate you looking into this because I love this plug-in.
Will keep my eyes open for your email with the solution.

Hello again- I installed the new version, and sorry to say, but now the plugin doesn’t work at all, or at least on mouseover nothing pops up that is, not even “loading…”.

@Jim L – When I bring up the script in firebug on your site there’s nothing there. So you got some other issues going on. Sorry…
May 28th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Could it have anything to do with the fact that my blog is at http://72suited.com/blog, not the root domain? So the path to your plugin is http://72suited.com/blog/wp-content/… rather then http://72suited.com/wp-content/…

May 29th, 2008 at 12:48 am
BINGO!
Jim L, this HAS to be a root issue. I have the same setup (/blog directory for my wordpress files) and plugin version 1.4 still doesn’t work.
Golgotha, I tried tweaking the paths in the plugin file but have had no luck getting it to work…
This is probably something silly and easy to fix…
May 29th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Chris- Another thing I noticed is your theme appears to be based off Sandbox by plaintxt.org. My theme is also from plaintxt.org, the plaintxtblog theme. Could have something to do with the themes?
Thanks,
Jim
May 29th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
@Jim – I checked the path (view source) and it’s correct (/blog/wp-content/) so that’s not it… But I’ll look at again tonight.

Yepper Jim L, I’m using Sandbox by plaintxt.org. Hmmm, the plot thickens…

Hey guys. It’s a gerat plugin but unfortunately it is not working very well with me. I am getting CSS problems with IE6 and 7 but not with firefox. The yellow tip appears away from the name of the commentator. That problem is with the older version of the plugin, as with the latest one, it doesn’t work at all! I am using wp 2.5
Thank you & I hope the CSS be reviewed so it works well as it is working with Firefox.

It’s out now. Download away. No ‘major’ changes. Just some minor stuff to see what happens for those that are having issues.

Alright, it is installed. The “loading…” is back now, but still not working right. Thanks!!

June 2nd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Same here. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for trying to tweak it though!
June 2nd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
@Jim L and Chris – Yeah, I think there are some ‘other’ issues going on that are preventing the plugin from displaying data.
When I path directly to the file that is supposed to return data on Jim L’s blog it returns nothing. This is obviously the problem, but I’m not sure why? Almost like a permissions thing or something?
Sorry fellaz best of luck to you.

June 3rd, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Hey Glogotha, is there a way to let the plugin look right in right-to-left pages? This is a great plugin and should be supported heavily, I only need to find a way of making it look right on Arabic blogs and other similar languages. Thanx.
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Yep, works for me too! Thanks so much for your time and effort, I love this plugin! I’ll probably write about it on my blog first chance I get.

@Dave – I query by URL because the native functionality of WordPress is that it doesn’t create a link if they don’t leave their URL. So I want to follow the integrity of WordPress.
@ouni – That’s a good idea and I understand why you want that, but it all takes time and that’s something I don’t have a lot of at the moment.

Hello,
very nice plugin
but, if we use the url rewriting (for url like 2008/name-article), the plugin show the url like ?the-id.
It is possible to change that?
bye

I have used the plugin, it’s great, but I have a few questions.
1) The links to the posts are not set up for permalinks. The id=324 is coming through which I don’t like.
2) Could you add an options page where I can click if I do not want the excerpt but just the number of comments and links through to the last comments they have left.
For now I have uninstalled it because of the permalinks issue, but its a great idea and would love to see these improvements made.

Hmm.. it really don’t work for me. I don’t even see it.

Lola, not sure why. Can you tell us more.

Great plugin, but it confront with smooth gallery. Your plugin use js, so it’s a cause of confrontation. But i use smooth gallery only on home page – maybe this problem can be solved if your js put only in comment page?

Hi there,
that seems to be a good plugin, but why is it trying to load the URL “/index.php?feed=rss” from my weblog (powered with s9y)?
Is it possible, that this plugin only works with WP-Weblogs because other weblogs don’t have their feeds at this special URL?
TIA

great plugin but got a few problems with it, it’s slow to load (in fact some of my posters didn’t notice until I told them about and they waited a minute or two for it to load).
Other problem is that I get an error for one of the posters:
Warning: attempt to assign property of non-object in (my rss.php address) on line 440.
Any ideas?

Nice plugin, but seems to be not working on WordPress 2.6 ?? Please replay.
November 6th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
@Dingle – shouldn’t be too slow… That’s probably your host? You can see it in action here – is that too slow? I’m not sure what that other error is?
@Marek – Should work just fine with 2.6. There may be another plugin interfering?
November 7th, 2008 at 2:59 am
OK, I’ll try to deactivate all plugins, but it works on 2.5 before…
January 16th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I love your plugin!!! Well, but it seems it doesn’t work correctly on my blog and I don’t know, why???
Sometimes the last blog post of the commentators is shown but mostly it doesn’t appear, although they had commented a lot of times before. It would be great if you can help me…

Does this work with WP 2.7? I’ve installed it but nothing seems to be happening.
Also, great plugin, thank you!
January 30th, 2009 at 9:24 am
@Ute – It will try and pull the commentators last blog post from their RSS. It doesn’t likely work with ALL different blogging software. So depending on what blogging software the commentator is using it will or will not work.
@Sulcalibur – It DOES work with WP 2.7. That’s what we have here and it works just fine. You may have other code/plugins that are interfering?
February 7th, 2009 at 1:50 am
Great plugin but it doesn’t seem to work on my 2.7. I’m work on localhost, could that be the problem? I’ve also tried deactivating all plugins still doesn’t work. Any ideas?

great plugin.. well done!.. keep up the good work.. installing as I type
February 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 pm
Don’t work for me, buuut, im found the solution for my problem just changed the follow lines:
In the comment-info-tip.js.php change
if (!defined(ABSPATH))
{
$directoryPath = dirname(__FILE__).’/';
define(ABSPATH, substr($directoryPath, 0, strpos($directoryPath, ‘/wp-content’) + 1));
}
require_once(ABSPATH . “wp-config.php”);
to
$wp_root = ‘../../..’;
require_once($wp_root.’/wp-config.php’);
In get-comment-info-tip.php change
if (!defined(ABSPATH))
{
$directoryPath = dirname(__FILE__).’/';
define(ABSPATH, substr($directoryPath, 0, strpos($directoryPath, ‘/wp-content’) + 1));
}
include_once(ABSPATH . “wp-config.php”);
include_once(ABSPATH . “wp-includes/rss.php’);
to
$wp_root = ‘../../..’;
include_once($wp_root.’/wp-config.php’);
include_once($wp_root.’/wp-includes/rss.php’);
Now its works fine
Also, very nice plugin, thank you!
