Integrate CommentLuv’s TwitterLink into Thesis Theme

- by

CommentLuv Integration With Thesis Theme

I thought it would be cool to share this with Thesis Theme users, especially that we are getting ready for CommentLuv Premium plugin, which will be released for the public next week. The new plugin is a super joint of 8 different plugins, one of them is the TwitterLink plugin.

Some of my friends who were beta testers of CommentLuv Premium – also Thesis Theme users- asked how to display TwitterLink field in Thesis comment box, instead of showing the blue box below comments, so probably more people will ask for this once CommentLuv launch starts.

Dealing with Thesis Theme

When you deal with a framework like Thesis (read my thesis theme review), you really don’t want to touch the core or it’s code, the right way is to simply write functions and use Thesis Hooks to run those functions where you want them to be, or then you will make it more harder for you to upgrade when new updates comes from DiyThemes.

Integrating TwiterLink into Thesis Theme

I’ve had a tip from Andy of CommentLuv Premium to do the trick!

Here is the code that you need to add to your thesis custom_functions.php file:

https://gist.github.com/3147447.js

Note: If you are using one of my Thesis Skins from ThesisAwesome.com, you won’t need this code, I’ve already integrated CommentLuv into the skins and it will automatically indicate the you are a CommentLuv Premium user and do the job for you.

*Update:

If you would like to add a better code that checks if TwitterLink is enabled/disabled on Thesis Theme, here it is:

That’s all!

    What was the incentive for tweeting? An idea for you for new content would be the settings your recommend for the comment Luv plugin. (I'm on thesis as well) Thanks!
  3. Ari Herzog says:
    Thanks, brother. This worked great. But my understanding is if I add a comment here, and depending on your "enticement rules," I should be promoted to tweet/like/+1 this post of yours, no? Where and how? After the comment is submitted?
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      The idea of tweet, like or +1 the post is actually to open your RSS feed list of recent 10 posts to choose from, that's something you should do before commenting!
      • Ari Herzog says:
        Ahhh! That scroll was so long I didn't look at the bottom. Maybe better idea to move that to the top? Or separate it with a highlight or such?
  4. Lyndi Leggett says:
    Thanks Hesham, I am in the process of migrating over to the Thesis them, this is very useful and has saved me loads of time. Thanks again Lyndi
  5. Noel Addison says:
    It is a professional looking theme out of the box, but it is also designed to be quite customizable so you can tweak your blog’s look and feel to your heart’s content.
    • Hesham says:
      mmm... not sure whither you read the post or not!
  6. Ian says:
    Just a quite note as this fooled me - don't forget that once you make this tweak, the ability to switch the twitter link on/off with the Commentluv settings won't work - it's there on your form no matter what the setting say. I used this, then forgot I had. When I decided to switch off the twitter link I was completely stumped by why it wouldn't go away from the comment form!!! Ian
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Ian, Sorry for taking time to reply, and yes.. you are right! Here is an update I got from Andy. (the code check if twitterlink is enabled) if(class_exists('cl_premium')){ global $cl_premium; if(isset($cl_premium)){ if($cl_premium->is_enabled('twitterlink')){ // twitterlink is enabled // do stuff or set global here echo '

        Twitter (ID only. No links or "@" symbols)

      '; } } }

    Thanks, Hesham. While I don't use Thesis, in order to get TwitterLink to work with my custom theme I need to manually add it. This helps to figure out what I need to add to my theme.
  8. Harleena Singh says:
    Hesham, I sure get inspired and motivated to switch to Thesis now! I have been checking out various themes, and am a little confused as to which one should I go for - for both my blogs that need to be changed to WordPress. Thesis surely does have some amazing features that others don't, though for a lay-man there are no samples to see, similar to Studiopress or Woothemes, where you can see what your blog would eventually look like. Is there some link that tells us a little more about Thesis also, beside it's one main site? Thanks for sharing :)
    • Hesham says:
      Think of Thesis as a Framework, and empty space or white page for your creativity! P.S. Maybe take a look into Thesis showcases at diythemes.com
  9. Amy says:
    Fantastic! I have been considering using the Thesis them for some time now and you have managed to address my problems with this post. Will probably dust it off and activate it soon.
  10. Ivin says:
    Hello Hesham. You've got such exciting things happening at Thesis. I'm very enticed to have a look inside and see what it's all about. It seems you give great support to all your users and you have tight knit community of VERY successful bloggers advocating the brand. In fact, Thesis have become highly recommended from the first time I started blogging.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Ivin, I am always looking to update my skins to satisfy ThesisAwesome.com members, and make it easier for them to enjoy things that they like most (example @commentluv -:) However, some how I still feel this is only the start, great stuff still on the way. Do let me know if you need any help any time. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!
  11. Mushfique says:
    All I can say is...THANK YOU :) Thanks a lot Hesham ! Was searching how would I do this ! Thanks again!! :D
  12. Sharon Hurley Hall says:
    Is it in the Silver skin as well, Hesham? Should it show up automatically or is there something I need to edit?
    • Hesham says:
      Hey Sharon, Not yet for the Silver Skin, I've added this to my notes, I need to get the optin forms first. I will update it soon, this week.
  13. Ileane says:
    Hi Hesham, you are so cool for giving all of the Thesis users the code and the instructions for using CommentLuv Premium with Twitter Links. I was starting to feel like only those with Thesis Awesome would have this advantage. But I'm really glad I can refer everyone back here for the code. You rock! Thanks! Enjoy your weekend.
    • Faissal Alhaithami says:
      I agree with Ileane! it's so cool and generosity from you to give the code to thesis users. Well done.
      • Hesham says:
        Glad to help, always :)

      It's a simple thing, really it is.
