Croncast is now coComment enabled
4 comments      Added on 08/27/06 by Kris

Jumping in with both feet isn't usually my MO when it comes to third-party software integration into my one of my babies. But today I took a leap and added coComment.

I have heard so much about it over the last two weeks that I thought it was time to go and take a look. The concept is brilliant.

coComment allows a registered user to track a "conversation" that they are having online through comments on a blog. So if you are a frequent commenter and want to collect your varied opinions in one place it seems like a great solution.

I'm still not sure if I have it working properly. During all of my tests I was only able to see my comments and not the ones that came later in the thread, which would be a requirement for a conversation. The forums and support seem a bit sketchy and don't really offer many better answers than "make sure you integrate it into your blogging platform".

1 This is too funny, I was sitting here earlier thinking I wish Croncast had a comments feature. So I went to the site to send you an email asking you about it, and what do I see ...a comments section. Way to go Kris you are reading my mind.

2 Hi Kris, sorry for the somewhat sketchy support -- you're right, it's an area we could definitely improve.

If the people who are commenting in your threads do not have coComment accounts, there are two possibilities:

a) your blog is integrated and the "catchall" functionality is activated: their comments are captured directly as they post them

b) your blog is not integrated, or the catchall functionality is not activated: the crawler will come along at some point and try to catch the missing comments.

From what I can figure out, your markup isn't compatible with the crawler (yet?). I'm going to try to see if there is any reason comments would not be captured correctly, as I can see you integrated the blog.

Also, as I'm commenting here I'll be able to track this conversation and see what happens :-)

3 Ouch! sorry for the big nasty block of text.

Your blogging tool doesn't do paragraphs :-(

Stephanie, thanks for the reply. I can't seem to figure out what the issue is.

I did try adding variables in place of the field id's but that didn't work either. It seems as though the comment and name fields are being passed incorrectly somehow to cocomment or are being passed null.

Either way I will keep plugging away . . . but check out these new paragraph breaks ;-). Thanks for the nudge.
