I’m Now Trying Out the AJAX Comments Plug-in

ajax?

Have you tried AJAX lately?

AJAX?….as in that cleaning product?

Of course not. I’m talking AJAX….as in….web application language. Or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML to be more specific. Mike Smullin has created this super cool plug-in that, through the use of AJAX, your page doesn’t have to re-load when someone leaves a comment. There are two options:

  1. You can download the plug-in here, and upload to your WordPress plug-ins directory, or
  2. follow Mike’s instructions on manually integrating the code in your comments.php file

It’s really smooth. If you want to see how it works, just……leave a comment on this post.

Now that’s low huh? Will I do anything to get comments? :-)

* I got a couple of complaints from some of my regular readers that they were having to re-enter all their details everytime they comment. It’s been determined that the situation is due to the plugin. I haven’t spent the time trying to fix this. For the time being, I’ve turned off the Ajax comments plugin and disabled comments on this post.

    That was pretty cool!

    I think Jon had this on his last theme. Didn’t know it was a plugin. I’m gonna have to check it out and play around with it when I get a chance.

    No matter how “low” it was.. I would have tested it out anyway… Now to see!

    Ah yeah I remember, the last theme I had on SWR was the 3column K2, and it had this ajax thing right out of the box ;)

    That plugin isn’t “right out of the box” for Cutline though, would have to code some stuff to make it work. But sure thing it works with Fastway! hehe

    Hey Clarke, I think it would be a cool thing to debut along with your new design when you get it ready.

    I have been “seeing” this plug-in without realizing what it is called. I’ll have to download it too and add it to my mix of terrific WP plug-ins. Thanks for the info!
