Wordpress Quick Reply Template Plugin

December 5th, 2008  |  Published in Wordpress, Wordpress Plugins  |  5 Comments

The quick reply feature introduced in Wordpress 2.7 is great but it lacks the ability to set the default test of a reply.

This plugin allows you to automatically set the text of a comment reply. For example if your reply template is:

%FIRST_NAME%,

and the comment authors name is:

Paul William

Then the default text in a reply would be:

Paul,

It is that simple.

    Nice little plugin here. A suggestions to make it perfect:

    Be able to grab the comment permalink as a variable, so that I can link to the original comment. What I’d like to produce is something like:

    <a href="%COMMENT_URL%">@%FIRST_NAME%</a>

    Paul, thank you so much for writing this plugin. It provides the functionality that I have been looking for ever since switching to 2.7 trunk several weeks ago.

    I just sent you an email with an updated version of your plugin which adds the %ID% shortcut and strips all HTML from the comment author’s name.

    Matt and Kaspars, great ideas I will implement them shortly.

    Thanks to Kaspars code contribution the latest version supports the comment ID so you can like to the original comment.
