So I combined the two…

(IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm still working out the kinks with this script. If you use this and have issues – please email me (scripty aT scriptygoddess dOt nEt) – don't leave a comment… that way the comments section doesn't get out of hand… I'd prefer to keep the comments section reversed for either modifications/alternate hacks or additional suggestions)

Here is the modified "create table" script

CREATE TABLE useronline (
timestamp int(15) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
ip varchar(40) NOT NULL,
file varchar(100) NOT NULL,
userName varchar(50) NOT NULL,
userURL varchar(100) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (timestamp),
KEY ip (ip),
KEY file (file)
);

The way the Spoono's original script worked was that it would (I believe) only tell you how many users were on a particular page – but the way my script below works is that it shows users on the entire site…

On Lynda's site, she pointed out that you need to modify the "rememberme" and "forgetme" javascript functions. See her site for the details.

Now here's the updated script. (I made this a seperate file and put it on my site as an include where I wanted to the "users on site" to display)

<?php
//fill in some basic info
$dbsvr= "localhost";
$dbusrnam = "your-database-username";
$dbpswrd = "your-database-password";
$database = "your-database-name";
$timeoutseconds = 300;
$mt_name = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) : "";
$mt_url = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) : "";
$mt_ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") ? getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") : getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
// If someone doesn't want their name to appear on the list, enter their
// urls below, separated by a comma. Example:
// $blocked_urls = "http://www.domain1.com, http://www.domain2.com";
$blocked_urls = "";
// If user is in blocked report above, make them anonymous and then add to file
if ($blocked_urls !="") {
$blocked = explode(",", $blocked_urls);
for ($i=0; $i < count($blocked); $i++) {
if (trim($blocked[$i]) == $mt_url) {
$mt_name = "";
$mt_url = "";
}
}
}
//get the time
$timestamp = time();
$timeout = $timestamp-$timeoutseconds;
//connect to database
mysql_connect($dbsvr, $dbusrnam, $dbpswrd);
//insert the values
$insert = mysql_db_query($database, "INSERT INTO useronline VALUES
('$timestamp','$mt_ip ','','$mt_name','$mt_url');");
if(!($insert)) {
print "Useronline Insert Failed > ";
}
//delete values when they leave
$delete = mysql_db_query($database, "DELETE FROM useronline WHERE timestamp < $timeout");
if(!($delete)) {
print "Useronline Delete Failed > ";
}
//grab the results
$result = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT DISTINCT ip, userName, userURL FROM useronline");
if(!($result)) {
print "Useronline Select Error > ";
}
//number of rows = the number of people online
$user = mysql_num_rows($result);
$display = "";
$annon = 0;
mysql_close();
for ($i = 0; $i < $user; $i++) {
$row= mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($row["userName"] != "" && $row["userURL"] != "") {
//make sure url has "http://" in it
$isHttpUrl = strpos($row["userURL"], "http://");
if ($isHttpUrl === false) {
$row["userURL"] = "http://".$row["userURL"];
}
$display .= "<a href=\"".$row['userURL']."\">".$row["userName"] ."</a><br />";
} else if ($row["userName"] != "") {
$display .= $row["userName"] ."<br />";
} else {
$annon++;
}
}
if ($display != "") {
echo $display;
}
if ($annon != "") {
echo $annon;
if ($annon <= 1) {
echo " user";
} else {
echo " users";
}
}
?>

To use this script with wordpress, change these two lines in the script above:

$mt_name = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) : "";
$mt_url = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) : "";

To this:

$mt_name = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash]) : '';
$mt_url = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.$cookiehash]) : '';

(yes, I know the variables still say "mt" in them – if that really confuses you, just do a find and replace and change them.

If you have MOVED OVER from MT to WP – and still want to capture the names of people who may or may not have left a comment on your wordpress blog yet (so they don't have cookies from wp comments – but probably still have MT cookies), change those lines to this instead:

$mt_name = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_'.$cookiehash]) : '';
if ($mt_name == '') {
$mt_name = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmtauth']) : "";
}
$mt_url = (isset($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.$cookiehash])) ? trim($_COOKIE['comment_author_url_'.$cookiehash]) : '';
if ($mt_url == '') {
$mt_url = isset($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) ? ($_COOKIE['mtcmthome']) : "";
}

[Found on MT-Plugins.org]

As requested, I'll give a little more info. Promise you won't laugh. I have a Vin Diesel fan blog. The "misc." picture category was getting out of hand – so I wanted to paginate it so that all misc. photos wouldn't load up on the one page (there's ALOT of them… ok, you promised you wouldn't laugh!!) ;o)

First – to install the plugin – you need to upload it into your plugins folder (in your MT folder)

Here's what the main content on that template looks like (the MTPaginate tags are in bold)

<p align="center">| <a href="<$MTBlogURL$>">Main</a> |</p>
<h1 align="center">~~ <$MTArchiveCategory$> ~~</h1>
<MTPaginate>
<!–The next part is what generates the "page navigation" –>
<MTPaginateIfMultiplePages>
<p><$MTPaginateNavigator style="links" format="%d" $></p>
</MTPaginateIfMultiplePages>
<!– This part determines how many posts will go on the page, I set it to 10 –>
<MTPaginateContent max_sections="10">

<MTEntries>
<$MTEntryTrackbackData$>
<MTDateHeader>
<h1><$MTEntryDate format="%x"$></h1>
</MTDateHeader>
<div class="blogbody">
<a name="<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>"></a>
<p><b><$MTEntryTitle$></b></p>
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntryIfExtended>
<$MTEntryMore$>
</MTEntryIfExtended>
<p>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%X"$></a>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments">Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTEntryIfAllowPings>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTTrackbackScript$>?__mode=view&entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenTrackback(this.href); return false">TrackBack</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>
</p>
<$MTPaginateSectionBreak$>
</MTEntries>
</MTPaginateContent>
</MTPaginate>

A little more explanation of the page navigation tag:
<$MTPaginateNavigator style="links" format="%d" $>
There can be other values for "style" and "format". I have mine set to "links" because I wanted text links, instead of a pop-up menu. Format is how the text links are structred. I just wanted the numbers, but if you wanted it to display like: "Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3.. etc." the value of format would have been "Page %d"

From what I could tell from the documentation, there are many other ways to use this. For example, if you have very long posts, you could paginate the content of a specific post (or at least that's what it looked like. I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure)

Permalink | Show Comments(3) | Add Comment | Trackback(2)

Where the "Show Comments" would drop down and do the show/hide comments – and it would only be there IF there had been comments to display. (for this last part, to use this script, you need to be running PHP on your page)

I know this is a very particular case – but there's pieces in here you could probably cut, mix, and match.

First, you need to get the updated version of the show more comments script here. (Side note: to Mr. Tweezer's complaint in his post about my not making it easier for him to use my scripts… I'm sorry- I'll refund your money… oh wait – this site is free and actually here for my OWN PERSONAL reference… Sometimes I even drop code here without explanation – just so I can grab it later. The "disclaimer" in the sidebar also says "we are volunteers, not paid tech support. In the end, you're on your own." Seems he decided to take that part down. How nice.)

In any case instead of using the show more comments function I've posted previously, use his revised one instead (function name changed to work seperately for comments):

<script type="text/javascript">
function showMoreComments(entryID, entryLink, htmlObj) {
extTextDivID = ('extText' + (entryID));
extLinkDivID = ('extLink' + (entryID));
if( document.getElementById ) {
if( document.getElementById(extTextDivID).style.display ) {
if( entryLink != 0 ) {
document.getElementById(extTextDivID).style.display = "block";
document.getElementById(extLinkDivID).style.display = "none";
htmlObj.blur();
} else {
document.getElementById(extTextDivID).style.display = "none";
document.getElementById(extLinkDivID).style.display = "block";
}
} else {
location.href = entryLink;
return true;
}
} else {
location.href = entryLink;
return true;
}
}
</script>

Now put this code below your entries in your template:

<div id="extLink<$MTEntryID$>">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Permalink</a>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<?php if (<$MTEntryCommentCount$> > 0) { ?>
| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>" name="ext<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>" onclick="showMoreComments(<$MTEntryID$>,'<$MTEntryPermalink$>', this);return false;">Show Comments (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
<?php } ?>
| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments">Add your comment</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTEntryIfAllowPings>
| <a href="<$MTCGIPath$><$MTTrackbackScript$>?__mode=view&entry_id=<$MTEntryID$>" onclick="OpenTrackback(this.href); return false">TrackBack (<$MTEntryTrackbackCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>
</div>
<div id="extText<$MTEntryID$>" style="display: none">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Permalink</a>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>

</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTComments>
<$MTCommentBody$>

</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Permalink</a>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
| <a href="#ext<$MTEntryID pad="1"$>" onclick="showMoreComments(<$MTEntryID$>,0, this);return true;">Hide Comments</a>

</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTEntryIfAllowPings>

If you are using Adam Kalsey's comment notification hack, you might need to make some changes. See more details here. Other hacks and plugins may require additional tweaking, so remember – do a backup first!

There is a simple way of fixing this small error if you do not want to receive e-mails of your comments. It worked for me but I can't guarantee it will work for you. If you try it, make sure you back up the original files you are modifying before attempting. I don't suggest this to novice MT users.

Open Blacklist.pm to line 2395 and you will see the following:

MT::Mail->send(\%head, $body);

Place the following code in its place:

MT::Mail->send(\%head, $body) unless $author->email eq $comment->email;

This will act the same as the Adam Kalsey Comment notification Hack as Patricia posted in reply to the original entry posted on the hack.

My changes reflect my preferences, yours may be different.

1. I don't need to see "New Comment Posted to" in my subject line. It takes
up too much space, and my web mail program won't show full subject lines, so I
need the important stuff first. Besides, by looking at the Brackets I recognize
that it is a comment notification.

2. I want to know which post got the comment, so I put that first. I don't
need to know which blog it is from, because I only have one – so I moved that
part to the end. Plus, I wanted to know Who sent the comment.

3. On heavy comment days, my inbox is nearly bursting. Now when I see a
comments is posted by a certain person, I can go to read that one first.

The only major change in the Body was making the IP Address into a clickable
link to do a WHOIS and TRACEROUTE on SamSpade.com. I added a new line for that.
I also slightly changed the wording on the first sentence.

Here is what I did. Again, once you see the changes I made, you will probably
want to customize it the way you want it to look. Please note: This code was
tested and executed on MoveableType 2.64. I don't know if it will work on
lower versions, so YMMV.

Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk. It should go fine, but you never
know. I won't be responsible for fixing it if you go and screw it up.

First, FTP or otherwise navigate to your MT installation directory and find:
/lib/MT/App/

Now, make a backup copy of Comments.pm (always make backups, yo).

Open up Comments.pm in your favorite text editor (I use
araneae; for simple jobs
like this).

Go to Line 132 or search for "$author->email" (without the quotes) and you
will be close.

Be sure you are on the line that says "Subject =>" and we are ready to get
jiggy!

Highlight and delete:

Subject => '[' . $blog->name . '] ' . $app->translate('New Comment Posted to \'[_1]\", $entry->title));

Replace it with:

Subject => '[' . $entry->title . '] ' . $app->translate('new comment by "[_1]" – [_2]', $comment->author, $blog->name)
);

Now if you want to Tweak the Body of the message, scroll down to about Line
146.

I edited the body of the text to lead with the Comment Author's name. So
change this:

my $body = $app->translate('A new comment has been posted on your blog [_1], on entry #[_2] ([_3]).', $blog->name, $entry->id, $entry->title);

To this:

my $body = $app->translate('"[_1]" left a new comment in your blog [_2], on entry #[_3] ([_4]).', $comment->author, $blog->name, $entry->id, $entry->title,);

If you want to investigate their IP address, put your cursor right under

$app->translate('IP Address:') . ' ' . $comment->ip . "\n" .

and hit enter, making a blank line.

Now copy and paste this:

$app->translate('IP Info: http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=[_1]', $comment->ip) . "\n" .

Save the file, making sure it has the .pm extension. Save it back to the same
directory, overwriting the current Comments.pm. (because you already have a
backup, right?).

Now go leave yourself a comment. See how much more meaningful those Comment
Notifications are?

Here's a summary of what this does:

You add a field in your comments form to collect RSS feed's from your commenters and then you can display it back in your comments on your site – just like you do with their blog-URL.

What's involved:

You'll be editing any template you use that displays comments or the comment form, and install a plugin (which is as simple as uploading a file to your site) As well, You'll need to edit two MT files and the mt-database. If you're not comfortable doing this – I suggest you set up a test MT install and play with this first.

Here is the download for the plugin. The tags associated with the plugin will not work on their own – you'll need to follow all of the instructions (below).

Some credit notes: A MASSIVELY HUGE THANK YOU to "Milbertus" (A.) of milbertus.com for writing the plugin for the MTCommentFeed tag (MTCommentPreviewFeed tags still in development at this time) (I wrote the plugin for the MTCommentIfRSS tag. w00t!)

Part One: Edit your comments form

In your comments form, add this:

Your RSS Feed: <input type="text" name="rssfeed" />

If you have the "remember me" cookies working on this page, and you'd like this field to also be remembered, look for your "remember me" and "forget me" functions (towards the top of your page), and just add the line that I have in red/bold text:

function rememberMe (f) {
var now = new Date();
fixDate(now);
now.setTime(now.getTime() + 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
setCookie('mtcmtauth', f.author.value, now, ", HOST, ");
setCookie('mtcmtmail', f.email.value, now, ", HOST, ");
setCookie('mtcmthome', f.url.value, now, ", HOST, ");
setCookie('mtcmtrssfeed', f.rssfeed.value, now, ", HOST, ");
}
function forgetMe (f) {
deleteCookie('mtcmtmail', ", HOST);
deleteCookie('mtcmthome', ", HOST);
deleteCookie('mtcmtauth', ", HOST);
deleteCookie('mtcmtrssfeed', ", HOST);
f.email.value = ";
f.author.value = ";
f.url.value = ";
f.rssfeed.value =";
}

Now look towards the bottom for the page for the code below and add what I have in red/bold

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!–
document.comments.email.value = getCookie("mtcmtmail");
document.comments.author.value = getCookie("mtcmtauth");
document.comments.url.value = getCookie("mtcmthome");
document.comments.rssfeed.value = getCookie("mtcmtrssfeed");
//–>
</script>

Part Two: Getting the field into the MT database.

You will need to run this SQL query. I suggest going into phpMyAdmin (if your
host provider has this). Click on the SQL tab, and paste the line below in the
field, and then click go.

ALTER TABLE mt_comment ADD comment_author_rss VARCHAR( 255 ) ;

Part Three: Edit Comments.pm

This is the part that has to be re-done each time you upgrade (or replace your comments.pm file). Your Comments.pm file should be located in this path: yourMTfolder/lib/MT/App/Comments.pm
Look for this line (probably around line 82):

$comment->author(remove_html(scalar $q->param('author')));

and add these lines below it:

my $rssfeed = $q->param('rssfeed') || ";
if ($rssfeed) {
require MT::Util;
if (my $fixed2 = MT::Util::is_valid_url($rssfeed)) {
$rssfeed = $fixed2;
} else {
return $app->handle_error($app->translate(
"Invalid URL '[_1]'", $rssfeed));
}
}
$comment->author_rss(remove_html($rssfeed));

Look for this line (probably around line 150):

$app->translate('URL:') . ' ' . $comment->url . "\n\n" .

and add this line below it:

$app->translate('RSS Feed:') . ' ' . $comment->rssfeed. "\n\n" .

Part Four: Edit Comment.pm

This will also need to be re-done each time you upgrade (or replace your Comment.pm file). Your Comment.pm file should be located in this path: YourMTFolder/lib/MT/Comment.pm
Look for this line

'id', 'blog_id', 'entry_id', 'author', 'email', 'url', 'text', 'ip'

CHANGE it to (you're just adding the 'author_rss', in there:

'id', 'blog_id', 'entry_id', 'author', 'email', 'url', 'author_rss',
'text', 'ip'

Part Five: Using the Plugin:

Here's an example of how the tags will work. This site uses this plugin and mt-hack, so you can see how it is displayed.

<MTCommentIfRSS>
<a href="<$MTCommentFeed$>">My RSS Feed</a>
</MTCommentIfRSS>

(MTCommentPreviewFeed example coming…)

Part Six/Addendum: Comment Subscribe modification

If you use "subscribe to comments" script, you'll also need to edit the processing.tmpl file that came with the script. Add this to the form on that page:

<input type="hidden" name="rssfeed" value="<?
echo $rssfeed ?>">
