Comment Mailer is a WordPress plugin that helps you maintaining the discussion on your blog by letting the commenters know that you have replied their comments on the comment section of your post. Everytime you post a comment to answer previous comments from your visitors, you’ll be given an option to send a notification email to a spcecific commenters. It’s simple and easy.
Why You Should Use This Plugin
- You’ll never know whether your blog commenters is going to visit back to look for your reply for his/her comment, subscribe a comment feed for a specific post, or choose to receive notification e-mail (if you provide one). By using this plugin, you’ll have a full control to decide whether it is necessary to notify a commenter for a new reply.
- It keeps the discussion rolling on your blog comment system.
Grab it
Currently there is only unstable version of this plugin. But yet, you can still take the advantage by installing it. Use the following link to download the plugin.
Installation
- Download the package and decompress it
- Upload the file named commentmailer.php to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Go to your Plugin activation section and activate the plugin
- Well done!
- If necessary, you can configure anything on the admin panel. Login into your wp-admin and select Options -> CommentMailer
Usage
If you are logged in as an administrator on your blog, you’ll see an additional list menu on the comment submission form. Select the commenters to whom you are going to send a notification e-mail. Then click the submit button as usual. Leave the rest to the plugin to work
Localization
There is still only one localization available for this plugin: Bahasa Indonesia. If you are interested in translating it into your language, you can use the template (commentmailer.pot) file included in the plugin package archive. You can send the translation result back to me so I could include the translation in the next release.
Localization plays an important role in this plugin since it determines the content of your notification e-mail.
| Language | Version | Translator | Source code | Binary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bahasa Indonesia | 0.1-alpha | Huda Toriq | id_ID | id_ID |
To use the localization, simply upload the desired .mo to your plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/). Your WPLANG value in your wp-config.php should match the .mo file. e.g. you should use the id_ID.mo if your WPLANG is set to id_ID.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my blog visitors use same list menu to send comment notification to the other commenters?
No unless they are registered as your blog user and are logged in when they are submitting a comment. Otherwise they would see the regular comment form, without the additional list menu.
The e-mail header configuration can only be filled with a single setting (single sender name, single e-mail address). How could a multi user blog specify multiple settings for the plugin?
You couldn’t. But you can leave it blank so that the display name and email address from the user profile will be used instead of the commentmailer option
Why I don’t see any extra options on the comment submission form?
It’s probably because your theme doesn’t have a hook called comment_form. I use this hook to automatically insert the multiple list menu containing the names of the commenters. Check your theme file for a code that look like this: <&php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); &> Usually it’s located inside ‘comments.php’. If you don’t have one, try adding it manually.

plugin comment ajax kayak gini dapet dari mana?
bagus tuh untuk di review…

thx…before
@bakazero:
Yg kamu pake itu, pengunjung harus centang kalau ingin dikirimi email yg berisi komentar2 di tulisan yg sama. Kecil kemungkinan pengunjung akan mencentang. Lagipula jika tulisan itu rame komentarnya, kasian juga orang yg nyentang karena dapet email yg mgk tidak diinginkan (karena setiap ada komentar baru, otomatis dia dikirimi email).
Kalau yg saya buat ini, tanpa permintaan dari pengomentar pun kita bisa mengirimi salinan komentar balasan kita melalui email kepada para pengomentar sebelumnya. Kita (blog author) yg secara penuh memegang kendali. Kalau misalnya kita membalas komentar yg tidak penting seperti sekedar “teimakasih”,
ya.. mendingan nggak usah dikirimin salinan balasannya
@bakazero:
ada yg ketinggalan. AJAX Comment system ini bawaan dari tema K2 [1].
Plugin semacam ini juga ada sih, tapi saya lupa dulu pernah nemu di mana
