Ajax Comment Posting

常見問題

But the whole point of AJAX is throbbers! How do I add a throbber?

To indicate ‘waiting’ this plugin adds the class ‘throbbing’ to the form whilst it’s working. So to for example add a throbbing gif to the textarea whilst the plugin is working, add this to your site CSS:
.throbbing textarea {background:transparent url(thobber.gif) no-repeat 50% 50% scroll}

Why isn’t my plugin working or it works differently than it should?

Contact me to report any bugs.

Why don’t you include a default throbber/CSS file?

Because in the interest of keeping your site performing well, easily maintained and fast it’s best to take the time to do these things yourself. Get a nice throbber at ajaxload.info

How do I change the language?

Edit the plugin php file and add the following above the include statements:
echo ‘

mcpOptions = {
removeForm: true, //Remove the form after a comment is sent?
nameError : ‘Please give your name’,
emailError : ‘Please give a valid email address’,
msgError : ‘You forgot a message!’,
inmoderation : ‘Thanks for your comment-it is now in moderation’
};

‘;

This broke my other MooTools scripts on my page!

The plugin comes with the minimum version of MooTools- probably not including what your page needs- simply comment out the line including the mootools file from the php file.

Nothing happens on my funky template

The script uses CSS selectors to identify form elements- re-name things and it wont play well- remember you can add more than one class to elements!
