Effective comment moderation in blojsom

<janes-addiction>I was standing in the shower thinking</janes-addiction> that one of the nice things about comment moderation in blojsom is the ability to use (or chain) multiple forms of moderation. For example, you can tell blojsom that it should run the math comment moderation plugin, followed by the comment moderation plugin, followed by the comment plugin, and so on. In other words, if you successfully answer the math question, your comment must still be approved by the blog owner.

You can also add in other forms of moderation. As many as you want in fact. For example, you could add the SCode plugin in there so that in addition to answering a math question, users also need to submit the correct security code, and it still needs to be approved by the blog owner.

And, let's not forget that you can run multiple blogs on one installation of blojsom. So, all of this configuration can be done at the blog level. One blog owner may choose multiple forms of comment moderation while another blog owner may choose only a single form of comment moderation or maybe no comment moderation at all.

Math Check Comment Moderation plugin for blojsom

I checked in the math check comment moderation plugin for blojsom. It'll be available in blojsom 2.22.

This plugin requires users to answer a math question before they can leave a comment. The plugin also randomizes between addition (+), subtraction (-), and multiplication (*). That keeps it interesting /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

blojsom SCode plugin updates

So, if you were trying to use the SCode plugin for blojsom and finding it didn't work, then Cliff apologizes /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif It was compiled under Java 1.5 (aka Java 5.0), so you probably got an error similar to the following.

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/mbledug/blojsom/plugin/scode/SCodePlugin (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

The downloads will be updated tonight with the compilations under Java 1.4.

Once blojsom 2.22 is released, the next version of the SCode plugin will also be released. Featuring:

  • Comment deletion upon incorrect SCode
  • Generated image in PNG format, with only 0.2Kb size (in 0.1 it was
    JPEG with 2.5Kb size)

Rock on!

Welcome to the homepage of Marc Liyanage

Homepage of Marc Liyanage. Powered by blojsom. Schnazzy looking custom theme as well.

This means, for example, that I replaced the MovableType Blog package with Blojsom, because that is what Apple will ship (and hopefully maintain) starting with OS X Tiger Server. I switched to that one to get started now and hope to migrate to the built-in version next year.

Who is using the delicious-java library?

In the comments on the delicious-java 1.3 availability post, someone asked who is using delicious-java? The two I know of so far are:

  • del.icio.us JSP tag library
  • Tribe.net - Marc Canter had written me after one of the initial releases (after 1.1 I believe) to say it was just in time for them to start using it. So, they may or may not be. If anyone with Tribe.net can confirm, I'd appreciate it.

If you're using it, let me know.
