Comment Plugin API in Geeklog 1.4

Authored by: amckay on Saturday, December 24 2005 @ 08:08 am EST

This seems like a pretty drastic change. So it seems there is "the old way of doing plugin comments" pre 1.4, and then "the new way of doing plugin comments" in 1.4 and above.

Does this mean that all plugins have to be re-written for 1.4? Or does 1.4 still support the old API? It seems to me where there is a new API with new/different function names in 1.4, that you should be able to support both methods.

You are correct, the change is drastic, but it is necessary to assure that Geeklog plugins are able to protect the permissions on comments. The "old" plugin API had several fundamental problems that could not be corrected short of a complete "do-over" of the comment API (as we have done in the 1.4 release).

There were two reasons not to continue with the old API. First maintaining and testing two comment APIs would be a nightmare. There aren't enough of us (developers) to support multiple API versions within a single Geeklog release. The second problem is the confusion that could be caused to plugin developers and users in having two different plugin APIs with different capabilities.

To avoid those problems, we agreed that a clean break to the new API would be the better way to go.

I think that, really, plugins written for previous versions, don't support commnets in 1.4.0
