I have added a new parameter to listcomments.php called for. This parameter takes a PersonID, and it returns comments for the person identified. These include the following:

  • Comments posted on any page for which the person is listed as an author, an inventor, or an editor.
  • Any comment posted to his profile page.
  • Any comment where the person is tagged by his PersonID or UserID with an @ sign in front of it or referred to by his full name.
  • Any comment that is a reply to one of his.

To make the last one possible, I added a new column to the Comment table, called ParentName, which includes the Name or PersonID of the person being replied to. This is to keep the script from needing to do some kind of complicated query to get this information. However, I have not updated the Comment table with values for past comments. So, until I do that, it will only work with new comments.

When you are logged in, you will find a new menu item in the menu headed by your name. It is called "Comments for You" and will use this new parameter for listcomments.php with your PersonID. The main purpose behind this new feature is to make communication with contributors easier. If you haven't been by in a while, you will now have one place to go to catch up on comments requiring your attention.
