Comment Author Checklist
This is a WordPress plugin for writers’ critique groups and any other group blog doing some kind of document review. It gives you a new template tag, , that generates a list of registered users. The post’s author and users who have commented on the post are crossed off the list; all other users are left alone.
Example: If Mary has posted a document, Jane has commented on it, and John has not, the tag will display:
Jane- John
Mary
Options:
- exclude the admin user
- choose the minimum user role to be show in the list (e.g. Contributor, Author, etc.)
- sort the list by user ID, display name, first name, last name, or login
- choose the categories in which to show the list
Comment Author Checklist is compatible with WP 2.5 and up, and requires PHP 5.1.0. Download 1.04 »

tried your plug-in but couldnt get it to work properly
could only get the heading to show.
Hi, Jim. Thanks for trying it out! Can you give me any more info? The plugin should work on 2.3 and up (I need to mention that in the post).
Without details, I can suggest only obvious things: make sure you try it on a post in the right category that has comments, and at least the author (if not the commenters) is at or above the minimum user role… and so on.
I tested in 2.5, author is admin
BTW “Show in categories” is hard to use because 2.5 doesnt show the numeric id
I inserted this code.
and got these results.

Checklistit hates me
Thanks, Jim. I think I’ve fixed your code. (Textile is very different from the WP forum stuff, so backticks don’t work here.)
I must have introduced an error very late last night, because the plugin has stopped working on my test site, too! I’ll dig into it this evening.
1.01 posted. Thanks for your help, Jim!
still doesn’t work for me.
might be you are using another plugin that it needs? have you tried this plugin on a blank website with no other plugins running? I’ve disabled all plugins and switched to default theme and still cant see any changes. I even changed user level needed.
Here’s a link to my output code.

It’s not a plugin dependency; it looks like I have another bug in my category check code. Tune in tomorrow…
When in doubt, go back to your original working prototype!
Version 1.02 posted, and all the options work on my test blog. I’ve also added an option to display the checklist on all categories (“*”). Let me know how it goes!
still a no go for me…where exactly are you putting the code and which file?
It should go inside the loop in single.php. If you don’t have a separate template for single posts, it could go in index.php with
is_single(), presuming that you don’t want the checklist to appear on the home page or archive listings.Mine is right below the content:
< ?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »
');
if (function_exists(show_comment_author_checklist))
{ show_comment_author_checklist(); } ?>
I’ve posted 1.03, which gives you checkboxes for the categories instead of making you type them in.
Jim, what version of PHP do you have? I’d thought this would work with 4, but I just noticed one function at the very end that was new in 5.1.0.
4.1.22
the host is in the process of upgrading to 5.0+, but I’m getting the feeling it will be awhile.
if that’s the issue then no need to worry about it. I’m just trying to help test the script. I’ve been playing around with the script and I think I’m getting close to figuring out which black hat the rabbit is hiding in.
That explains it!
I’ll see if I can work around that one function… if so, I’ll let you know. Thanks so much for all your help!
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
