rp–comment–hilite is a WordPress plugin that allows you to highlight the significant and noteworthy comments posted on your WP blog.

Requirements

The plugin version has been tested on WordPress 1.2-mingus, and should work with other releases from the 1.2 trunk.

This document’s formatting and style was inspired (ripped?) from WP’s readme.html, and is provided for users of this hack.

Installation

  1. Unzip the package in an empty directory.
  2. Drop rp-plugin-comment-hilite.php in your wp-content/plugins/ and activate.
  3. To use, use the function rp_is_comment_hilite() in wp-comments.php to display anything you want for highlighted comments.

    Sample: 
    
    <?php if (rp_is_comment_hilite()) { ?>
        class="noteworthy"
    <?php } ?>

    The way I use it, I just add a noteworthy class to a highlighted comment.

  4. To indicate which comments should be highlighted, just add a custom field called comment-hilite, with comma--separated--values containing the ID of the said comments.

Functions

Listed below are the functions made available for use by this plugin.

<?php rp_is_comment_hilite(); ?>
Returns (not echo) true if the current comment in the "“loop” is highlighted; otherwise false.
