1. I just need to make an adjustment to the styles sheet to sort this. I put a lot of reset stuff in there trying to sort out an earlier problem
2. I tried to keep the comment indicator as low-key as possible so that it didn’t distract from text. I think a quick change to the code that amended the link with a style call would sort that.
3. The comments are all held in an ‘invisible’ div so there would be no reason why a ‘print style sheet’ couldn’t be put together to make a decent print of the page.

Work is taking the priority at the moment so development on anything too fancy will take a while but there are some good ideas for tweaks there.

Yours is more straightforward!

Several observations / suggestions:

1. The comment box is wider than the width of the popup window. I am using Safari 4.x on Windows.

2. For paragraphs that have comments attached, the qty-indicator should be a different color than the ones that have zero comments. That will help a quick scan to easily spot the paragraphs that need attention.

3. When clicking on a comment-qty-indicator that has a non-zero value, could the comments be shown directly below the paragraph? The popup “gets in the way”. This way, when printing the page to hard-copy or to PDF, all the relevant comments will have been “captured”. Its also easier to scan down and see it all in context.

Thanks again, and let me know if you need coding help ! (you’ve got my correct email address via this comment form)

The restriction is based purely on the way I’m going to use it as a student feedback mechanism. By restricting commenting to admin (me) and the post author (the student) I can control the dialogue but the other students can see the comments – share the knowledge.

It means the restriction, based on user level and author ID, is placed against the actual comment function rather than the whole plugin. Not a big deal to change and maybe best done with an options page in a later iteration.
