Oops, got the 404 page clicking on the link in SELs frame.
404 again, so it fails when there arent any comments, and when theres one comment.
Im getting an iframe with "Oops, what youre looking for isnt here!" I think this idea is great and cant wait until its up and running fully.
Im also geting a 404 and the link to the profile point toward a parked page (spinn instead of sphinn)
I wanted to comment on http://searchengineland.com/070924-082559.php but when I try that, it wants me to submit the story to Sphinn as a new topic. However, the topic is already discussed at: http://sphinn.com/story/6594 so no new submit is necessary. How to link topics? Conundrum!
Seems to be working now - I was actually hoping for something more seamless than a frame but at least this ties the two locations for comment/discussion together.
Yep, spotted an error if you click on the click here link before there are comments. Working on fixing that later today. @g2smd, while the topic is already on the site, the particular story from SEL is not. So yes, you would have to submit. Thats fine -- people often submit different version of a similar story. It remains up to the Sphinns received to decide if they go hot.One thing well be watching is to make sure that SEL stories arent somehow overwhelming Whats New. To date, thats not been the case. I think youre going to see a few more than normal get submitted, but it should still be down to those that someone decides makes sense for comment.@Sergi, do you know what page you got that error on?
Cheers Danny. I am wary of creating duplicates when discussion is already in full flow. Keep those new features coming!
@Danny, in the "Reader Comments" frame on SEL pages, when you click on the name, youre redirected to :http : // spinn.com/user/view/profile/dannysullivan instead ofhttp://sphinn.com/user/view/profile/dannysullivan
Yup, seems buggy. I am sure they will figure it out... Ill report the issues.
Thanks, Sergi. Ooops! Well fix that.
This is a much needed addition to SEL. Id prefer a much tighter integration than an iframe, though. Hopefully your developers will find time to implement an API and allow for more flexibility.
Quite possible the worst comment system I have ever seen. The site developers should be ashamed.
And there was me thinking I could finally comment on SEL...Ah well, maybe one day well see a Wordpress install there ... :)
