Hidden links/advertisement
by Daniel Dimitrov on June 02, 2009
This blog is intended to all of you using !joomlacomment 4.0 alpha3. I was really dissapointed to read the editor's comment on JED.
Here is a quote:" Editor's Note
- This extension by default includes hidden links/advertising. Hidden links/advertising can affect the Search Engine ranking."
I want to tell this to all of you out there! There are no hidden links or hidden advertisement in alpha3. Yes, it is true! In alpha3 there is an experimental advertisement feature. It was not very good implemented from my side. It is turned per default on, but you are able trough the backend to turn it off. I want to say that I stay behind my name! I will not implement something that will harm in any way your websites! My goal is to provide you with the best possible user experience when using joomlacomment or other software, that this site produces.
Something more: alpha3 is only for testing purposes! Your feedback is valueble to me and that is why in beta1 the advertisement feature will work in a different manner! It will be turned per default off and you will have to specify if you want to use it or not.
With all that said, I hope that we didn't loose your trust in !joomlacomment! Stay tuned for joomla comment 4.0 beta1 introducing akismet and gravatar support :)

Hi,
What I would really like to see is:
Buttons on the comment heading for sorting by Date by userrs (newest/oldest) and Votes (most/least). The default sorting should also be an option for admin (eg. if I like my sites comments to be sorting by most votes by default).
Replies collapsed by default only showing the main comment, and users can open the replies if they like. (less space and chaos).
Good luck with version 4 and best wishes!
Best regards,
Torgrim Sandvoll, Norway

what steps do i take to turn it off. I love the import feature and want to use your mod but my client will not accept this feature being turned on.

will the new version be set up so that integrating it into other components will be as easy as with Jcomments or Jomcomments?

Hey cassy, what is so difficult now? You just have to unable the plugins for the components in the backend.
Here an example for docman:

aha! now looks to me like I first need to write a plugin for remository before I can integrate?
hmm! just what I don't consider as attractive. the aforementioned JComments & Jomcomment only require adding a couple lines to remository or any other component for integration. this commenting component however appears to be requiring additional code to being added to the commenting component as well, i.e writing up a plugin
JComment and JomComment are therefore much more attractive. sorry!

We don't have any plugin for remository right now - nobody asked for it in the forum(so far I can remember). That is why there seems to be additional work, but if we have this plugin(as we have one for docman) then the only thing you had to do was - enable the plugin, add 2 lines to the repository template and ready to go.

right! any chance a plugin for remository can be added then? would I need to post something in the forum for that purpose?

I've just added your wish to the wish list:
http://dev.compojoom.com/issues/show/51I don't know when I can start to work on this. I'm currently working alone and there are a lot of things to do for the beta1 and other projects. This is definitely something that we will have

#poweredby { display:none; }Yes. This one is really visible and ok:
Code:function insertPoweredby() { return '<div id="poweredby" align="center" class="small">Powered by <a target="_blank" href="http://compojoom.com">!JoomlaComment '."4.0alpha3".'</a></div>'; }but this one seems like hidden:
Code:function insertHiddenCopyright() { return '<h4 style="display:none;">!joomlacomment 4.0 Copyright (C) 2009 Compojoom.com . All rights reserved."</h4>'; }
Am i wrong? (!JoomlaComment4.0.0 alpha3; joscomment/comment.class.php; line 410)

ok then :-) But here and here and on your site both of them displayed, even if CSS rule #poweredby {display: none} does not exists:
Code:<div id="poweredby" class="small" align="center">Powered by <a target="_blank" href="http://compojoom.com">!JoomlaComment 4.0alpha3</a></div>
<h4 style="display: none;">!joomlacomment 4.0 Copyright (C) 2009 Compojoom.com . All rights reserved."</h4>
Is it a bug?

Of course! If it is hurting your web site! I also think that with the next version I will remove the inserthidden version. Who cares? If you satisfied with the product, then you will show the link to our page

Go to the comment.class.php - inserthiddenlink is invoked in one place, just remove it and it should not display anymore.
