Greg’s Threaded Comment Numbering Plugin for WordPress Updated to Version 1.2
This update brings higher performance, several minor enhancements, and a revamped administrative interface to the popular plugin for numbering comments under WordPress 2.7.
This latest update to the comment numbering plugin builds on an underlying code framework which I’ve been using in-house for awhile now, and which features in some plugins which aren’t quite ready for public release yet. That new framework enables the plugin to run more efficiently during ordinary page views and makes it much quicker and easier to deliver options pages in the administrative interface.
The core comment numbering code hasn’t changed significantly, however, so you should experience all the same benefits as the original versions: accurate hierarchical numbering regardless of threading levels, and careful workarounds to deal with bugs in WordPress which currently cause problems in the way it orders comments under certain circumstances.
For more background on the plugin, please see the original release plugin page here: “Greg’s Threaded Comment Numbering Plugin for WordPress”.

Great idea, but I can’t use it :(
I place “echo gtcn_comment_numbering($comment->comment_ID, $args);” in my comment call function (built-in theme function), butecho gtcn_comment_numbering($comment->comment_ID, $args)
appears on each comments on my blog instead of numbers…
how can I fix it?

Howdy,
Without more details it’s hard to give a very detailed answer, but what appears to be happening is that you’re placing the code within an area that is being interpreted as plain XHTML rather than PHP code. If that is the case, you can just wrap the call to
gtcn_comment_numberingin<?phpand?>to ensure it gets treated as php.I’m afraid I’m not able to offer detailed guidance on theme editing, but I hope that might help.
All the best,
Greg

Hi,
This is being reported (not just with my plugins, incidentally) when one of two things happens 1) WP’s built-in auto upgrade function fails to do its job properly, or 2) the higher memory requirements of WP 2.8 are causing out-of-memory errors.
For the former, I have listed some suggestions here:
For the latter, you can open up your
wp-settings.phpfile and change the value of WP_MEMORY_LIMIT from 32M to 64M.All the best,
Greg

Hi Tayler,
Keeping a running tally of deleted comments isn’t something that WordPress can do out of the box, I’m afraid. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so we have no way to count them up.
All the best,
Greg

Hi Tayler,
I’m sorry I was not clearer the first time: this is not possible. WordPress does not keep track of deleted comments — they are deleted — and therefore there is no way to count them.
If you wanted to build a completely different plugin which attempts to number comments as they come in by storing extra data in a database table, you could do that. This plugin does not do that, and it will not ever do that.
Sorry!
All the best,
Greg
