I love to code

manual tags text search program,code got school marathonOh how I love it when I’m in the zone! ovidiu from Zice has been helping me with the MU compatibility tests with the new CommentLuv (up to 2.0b r9) and we had some issues because his comment form uses name attributes for some of the fields and the plugin needed to use the ID values.

He mentioned that there are 100’s of themes made available for MU and it would be a pain to have to edit every single one to use ID attributes. At first I thought this was going to be some sort of herculean effort but it turned out my geekness surprised even me when the solution came to me so I have now updated the code to allow users to choose between name or ID for the identification of the relevant fields which should make it much easier for your average n00b to install and use CommentLuv

While I was at it, I improved the look of the commentluv.com settings page for registered users. It should make it much easier for someone to verify their site quickly and start to receive 10x the luv when they comment.

I think I’ll release it to the Wordpress MU plugin contest tomorrow or the next day. It seems to be working quite well now on the few blogs that I’ve tried it on. The big test is when the masses start using it, the original plugin has been downloaded over 17000 times at the codex pages on wordpress.org!

    You know I too once loved coding but my inexperience in the field gave a halt to my desires….

    Programing Is exciting and interesting but not rewarding enough as a job. maybe as a freelancer or an entrepreneur …

    Andy my dear friend, this is indeed an encouraging post. However my mind was elsewhere…

    From the first moment I read “I love to code”, I pictured a little dance that went with it…..where’s the video?!

    LOL :-)

    very nice. whether it be coding or some other activity, there’s just quite a kick involved whenever you know you’re in the zone. :) wonder when that’ll next happen to me…

    I computer science graduate and i have a basic known in programming….although i was not expert in that field, i am always interested with new programming language that i read.

    Abhinav: I nearly gave up and went to a freelancer but I’m glad I stuck it out, now I have made everything myself it’s not a big job to change a little thing

    Mona: I agree, I’d hate it if I had to code for a job because then I wouldn’t get to create the whole application, I’d end up being in a team for writing sorting procedures!

    Dennis: I can hear the music ;-)

    sire: thanks!

    kouji: I love the zone even more if it comes just after a blitz of complete miscomprehension.. I feel like my brain has grown a bit when that happens

    seo: um thanks for visiting!

    I’ve been using CommentLuv for awhile now and, of course, loved it. But now it’s not working anymore, and I’m not sure why. I’ve updated it, but nope, it’s not pulling anyone’s blog posts over. Mine are showing on others sites at this point, though, as you can even see below. Oh well,…
