Also, when a commenter’s address is verified does the plugin continue to ask for verification for any future comments they submit?

Thanks again for your hard work. This plugin really works well.

“* If you don’t use [verification-url] that information will be appended to your message after a blank line.”

I’m using this plugin solely for sending an email to pending comments and don’t necessarily need the verification URL in the message.

Thanks!

I’m using your great plug-in at blog.vcha.ca. We only accept comments from our own employees. After we run a validation script to ensure the email is from our organization’s domain, we are using your plug-in to verify:

1. The email is an @vch.ca email capable of receiving email (i.e. there’s a live person at the other end and it’s not just a made-up address on the correct domain)
2. The comment submitter is the true author of the comment (i.e. one employee isn’t pretending to be another).

Sometimes our staff don’t put their email correctly into the comment form— either due to a typo or just because they do not use their work email very often due to the type of job they have with us.

It would be very helpful if you could add a link to “resend validation email” beside the “Approve (pending E-mail verification)” link in the comments dashboard screen. This way once I correct the address typo and update the comment I could put them back into the validation que.

Thanks again for all your work on this great tool.

I have implemented your plugin in one heavily commented blog. And your plugin works quite well

(your plugin is in a way excellent)

However, I have a few suggestions:
Settings in use: Splash screen & moderate even after email verified

1. regarding verification link, on first click, it works fine
but on second click, it shows message “address could not be verified”.

2. When an email address has already been verified previously, then the comment should automatically show that email address verified – instead of sending the verification email again.

Another variation that can be done is that if an email has been verified within certain period – say previous 6 months (best if user configurable) – then the comment status should automatically show as email verified.

3.Perhaps there should be a page listing all verified emails.

I’m using your plugin at: http://indiapoint.net/ca/

thanks

What you’re describing is the correct behaviour. The hint whether the E-mail address has been verified or not is placed next to the link “Approve” in the admin area of your blog. It may only become visible on mouse-over. – I know it could be more prominent, but I really only gave it more thought after I released that feature. It’s something that’ll change in a future version of the plugin.

Cheers, Martin

But, I have a few problems I hope you can help me with…

I uploaded and enabled the plugin, and then (because I want comments to be held in moderation even after the comment has been email verified) I checked the ‘Turn off self approval’ checkbox, and edited the text boxes to make them more appropriate.

But the problem is that when someone comments, the comment goes through to moderation even before the user has clicked on the verification link. And despite what the plugin description says, there is no indication in comments admin whether the comment has been email verified or not.

When the user clicks on the verification link, the comment is still held in moderation, but there is still no indication that it’s been verified or not.

At this point it makes the plugin essentially useless to me, but hopefully some pointers from you may help me to get it working.

Thanks in advance, and for your good work.

You’re using the Suffusion theme… I just looked up the source code on the wordpress.org website and here’s what you have to do:

For the name and date to appear side by side you have to edit the comment.php file of the theme. The stuff you’re looking for is inside the <div class="comment-author fix vcard"> container.

The phrase “Leave a Reply” and the comment form labels are in comments.php (mind the s in the filename).

I am testing it on this site

but it is destined for this site which has currently LiveFyre installed

You haven’t left a link to your site. Your question might be much easier to answer if I can see what theme you’re using. Please add a link to your next comment or E-mail me to the address martinhh at gmail dot com!
