AJAXProbably one of the best ways you could spice up your WordPress Blog with AJAX; readers love it! Must see for yourself.

Demo:

I install most of the plugins I create on my own blog. In this case, feel free to use the comment form below to see AJAX Comments in action!

Features:

* comment form validation happens server-side without refreshing or leaving the page
* Script.aculo.us Fade In/Out Effects make readers happy
* works with AuthImage captcha word verification plug-in to prevent comment spam
* still works traditionally if browsers don’t support JavaScript (or have it disabled)
* uses existing theme code to match styled comment threads when producing new comments
* 25-second server timeout ensures readers aren’t left hanging
* works in current versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, and Safari.

Recommendations:

* perfectly compliments any well-styled comment form—don’t design without it
* best when moderation is off (seems more real-time) and AuthImage is installed (self-moderation is the best moderation)

License:

No license; just trying to help out the WordPress community. Feel free to implement for a smooth combination of AJAX functionality via Prototype and yummy Script.aculo.us Effects whenever you like. All I ask is that you leave a comment/trackback here so others can see your implementation.

Download:

Version 2.07: ajax-comments-2.0.zip
Tested with WordPress 2.0.2 and 2.0.3

Plugin Installation:

1. Unzip/upload to /plugins directory.
2. Activate via WordPress Plugins tab.

AuthImage Integration:

1. Open ajax-comments.php and uncomment lines: 92, 152, 153.
2. Open comments.php from your /themes directory and use the following code (mostly just the ids) for AuthImage to appear in your comments form:

/wp-content/plugins/authimage/authimage-inc/image.veriword.php” alt=”Verification Image” />

Word Verification (can’t read it? try another!)

Please type the letters you see in the picture.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Spam Karma does not play well with this plugin. For those seeking an alternative, I recommend AuthImage. *crossing-fingers* I have never been spammed with it—ever.

UPDATE: The plugin now comes bundled with Script.aculo.us 1.6.1 and will include it in your header automatically. Originally I avoided this because some of you are already using Script.aculo.us, but it turns out that is more of the exception than the rule. If you need to undo this, simply open ajax-comments.php and remove lines 218 and 219.

UPDATE: Corrected three (3) XHTML validation errors.

UPDATE: Fixed LI element loss of className and style after Script.aculo.us Effects.
