Mike wanted a plugin that would increase the usability and community involvement of his comments. He had been using IntenseDebate and wanted a self-hosted solution that imitated IntenseDebate’s style: community points, up and down ratings, etc.

Requirements

  • Usable on any WP 2.7 theme
  • Automatically styled the threaded comments
  • Imitates the IntenseDebate style of comments
  • Thumbs up/down comment voting
  • Registered users get “community points” by commenting
  • Logged in user notice displaying link to edit their profile, logout, and displays their total community points

This was a great project that went quite smoothly. As you can see by the image below, the transformation looks great. It’s a no configuration plugin. Just activate it and it automatically changes the theme’s comments to the plugin’s styling. Mike’s been a returning client who’s always enjoyable to work with. That and his website always makes me want to eat healthier! Click the image for a larger view.
