An ‘alert’ on the comments interface

    Appreciated Sirs,

    below, I paste a piece of code that I would love to implement in one of my posts comments interface. Using the local storage available from the browsers, and after a tutorial book about html 5 and jquery, I simulated a ‘translators hub’ that went across previous records (in a post, it would be previous comments) and made ‘alerts’ of the sort ‘this other person(s) seems to have written something very similiar to what you are writing down’. My idea was to provide a tool to fine tune/discard my own comment if somebody else had already said it in a better fashion.

    I would highly appreciate any advice on how to achieve this in my/your post/service.

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Sincerely

    Gerardo García Cabrero

    Hi there,

    Adding custom code like that to your site is only possible on our Business Plan, and additionally you’d need to create a custom WordPress plugin to add that, as we don’t allow modifying your site’s WordPress files directly.

    Add Code to Your Site

    Thanks Kokkieh,

    I am sure that the learning curve you kinkdly mention is worth the effort. I hope doing it in a timely and useful manner.

    Thanks again
