My Plugins Compatibility With WordPress 2.5

Actually just sent you the email as well, hope at least one of these finds you.

Lester,

first, thanks for developing these awesome plugins.

I am using both wp-postratings (1.2 on 2.3.3) and wp-polls. I was actually going to email you directly about possibly porting your postratings plugin into a comment-ratings one as well. Should be pretty quick, no? I started to try this myself by simply doing an automatic find/replace of every occurrence of ‘post’ to ‘comment’, and ‘ratings’ to ‘ratings2’, which gets you a good part of the way there. Realizing that there likely needs to be a separate new database table created, something like ‘comment-meta’, I figured I might as well see if you could port it.

What do you think?

My goal is to use the comment ratings to have spammy comments buried by the readers, and have the DoFollow links that I want to use as a reward (including for the top comment for each post on the blog index page) be calculated from the comment ratings, similar to “top post” etc.

Click on my blog link above to see my current placeholder for this, and look at this sample post on WordPress security to see further explanations in the comments section.

Best – Alex
