WordPress plugin: Comment Author Checklist

I’ve written a WordPress plugin for my critique group. It gives you a new template tag, <?php show_comment_author_checklist() ?>, that generates a list of registered users with the names of those who have commented on the post (as well as the post’s author) crossed off. See the plugin page for more details1.

This is useful for any group blog doing some kind of document review.

I haven’t added it to the official plugin repository just yet, because I don’t quite grok Subversion because I’d like someone other than me to test the thing and let me know how it goes. If you have a critique group that runs WordPress (along the lines of the Glindas), give it a spin.

1 Plz to be making feature requests and such on the plugin page rather than here. Here is where you say, “Wow, Steph, a plugin. That’s… really nerdy.”

Comments

  1. Wow Steph! (May I call you Steph? Do we know each other that well??)

  4. Voting thingy! I had forgotten. Will set up momentarily…

    PHP is the programming language WordPress is written in.

    The Seekrit Project will be un-seekrit any day now. This wasn’t it. :)
