1. Nice plugin. It looks really good when scripting is on but unfortunately it doesn’t degrade gracefully when it is off. Is it possible to make it cater for users with no javascript?

2. @Rob: Yikes! I completely missed that one. I’ll have to add that in the next release.

3. A wonderful plugin. Except that a newbie like me doesn’t know what you mean by adding an option page. Did you mean add another file, like postinfo.php? I’m using the Unwakeable theme, and it has an options folder. Put this postinfo.php inside this folder? I’m so confused. :(

4. @Can: It’s a page where you can set options for the plugin. Don’t worry about that now. Just use the instructions I included.

5. where can we see a working demo?

6. @G: I posted a demo, but keep in mind some of the elements won’t show up because it’s inside the post.

7. very nice plugin, look great and useful, but for me the probleme is, after installing “post information”, my website needs 25 secs more to load. So, I can’t use it, :(

8. @Math: Can you activate it, and let me look at the site? I’d like to see what kind of performance bottlenecks come about.

9. Hi Chris,

   Thanks for this plugin, I’ve activated it on my site and also pasted the code into The Loop. Can’t seem to find the toggle effect (do I need to add another piece of code somewhere else?)

   I’m a newbie, sorry for all the questions :)

10. @L: I see the “Post Information” link in your loop. Put the PHP function right where your comments link is underneath the post (the plugin has a link to the comments).

11. Thanks Chris,

    It works now!

12. thx for answer. I really like your plugin and would like use it. I tried saveral times. But, whether I activate the plugin, make the loading way longer. too long, I can’t let it activate. any idea, where it can be from ?

13. @Math: It does load some JavaScript libraries which could be it. I really do need to see it to troubleshoot.

14. I tried using this, but I guess I don’t understand how to find/edit “the loop”.

    Matt on 06.01.08

15. @Matt: You don’t have to actually edit the loop at all.  Just add the PHP function somewhere inside the loop.

16. Thanks, got it to work after further reading. I guess i thought this would hide the existing meta, but doesn’t do that for my site template.

    Matt on 06.02.08

17. @Matt: It is supposed to replace it, but just remove it and place the function where it used to live.

    Chris Poteet on 06.02.08

18. Cool, got it. Thanks for your insight Chris.

    Matt on 06.02.08

19. Nice man, thanks alot

20. jsut soem suggestions for improvement if you’re interested:
    what about an options page where yo ucoudl select what info you want displayed in the post meta info?
    i.e. I have a blog where only I blog and I have therefore disabled the author archives and the author pages => they redirect to the homepage, so I wouldn’t want to displaz that particular info..

21. sorry just noticed that was #1 on your to do list, but why woudl that be obsolete?
     
    To Do

    Add an option page to choose the toggle effect and select information to be displayed. (Obselete)

    ovidiu on 07.24.08

22. @ovidu: It’s obselete, because I’m not going to do it.

    Chris Poteet on 07.24.08

23. cool, no problem I was jsut confused why you marked it as obsolete. I thought there might be an option I had not found :-)
     
    still a very cool plugin

24. I am trying to implement this plugin here: http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/2008/08/kellerkinder-treffen/
    and I was wodnering, why it doesn’t say: no comments if tehre are no comments? any hints?

    ovidiu on 08.11.08

25. @ovidiu: It’s because it’s on a single post page, and it doesn’t recognize that function there.  You could use some logic to check whether it’s a single post and if so don’t display the code.  It would look something like:
    if (is_single()) { // don’t display }
    else { // display }

    Chris Poteet on 08.11.08

26. thx, I understand your answer, but am confused as  Ithought this plugin could be used on single posts? I mean is this page here not a post? Could you explain where its supposed to be used?
    I.e. on a homepage inside the loop or where else could I use this plugin?

    ovidiu on 08.11.08

27. @ovidiu: It’s your lucky day. It would take less time to update the plugin then explain it.  Upgrade to 1.3.

    Chris Poteet on 08.12.08

28. thanks a lot. I really appreciate this, especially given the fact, that you were not going to update this plugin any further :-) works now just fine. Btw. you forgot to change the version number inside the plugin so I guess wordpress updates won’t be picking up this update!?
    I just changed your plugin to completely skip the comments stuff if its on a single page :-)

    ovidiu on 08.12.08

29. @ovidiu: You’re right. Fixed now. Thanks.

30. just wanted to let you know I made some modifications to your plugin so that it also outputs some information of these plugins: http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/

    you can check it out here: http://www.die-kellerkinder.eu/2008/08/formula-returns/
    I inserted email this post, print this post and rate this post, but I am still looking for an icon for the rate this post stuff :-)

    if you want I can share the mods when I am finished, they still need a little polishing, and all echo stuff should be enclosed in IF statements to check if those plugin sare activated.

31. @ovidiu: Looks good bud. I originally did have the WP-Email link in there but later decided to remove it.
