How to show country flag and web browser type and
Operating System in Wordpress Comments
I've come across a nice
Wordpress plugin that displays country
flag, operating system and web browser used in each of posted
comments blog comments.
Its really nice plugin, since it adds some transperancy and
colorfulness to each of blog comments ;)
here is a screenshot of my blog with
Comments Info Detector
"in action":
Comments Info Detector as of time of writting is at stable
ver 1.0.5.
The plugin installation and configuration is very easy as with most
other
WP plugins. To install the plugin;
1. Download and unzip Comments Info Detector
linux:/var/www/blog:# cd wp-content/plugins
linux:/var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins:# wget
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/comment-info-detector.zip
...
linux:/var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins:# unzip
comment-info-detector.zip
...
2. Activate Comment-Info-Detector
To enable the plugin Navigate to;
Plugins -> Inactive -> Comment Info Detector
(Activate)
After having enabled the plugin as a last 3rd step it has to be
configured.
3. Configure comment-info-detector wp plugin
By default the plugin is disabled. To change it to enabled
(configure it) by navigating to:
Settings -> Comments Info Detector
Next a a page will appear with variout fields and web forms, where
stuff can be changed. Here almost all of it should be left as it is
the only change should be in the drop down menus near the end of
the page:
Display Country Flags Automatically (Change No to
Yes)
Display Web Browsers and OS Automatically (Change No to
Yes
After the two menus are set to "Yes" and pressing on
Save
Changes the plugin is enabled and will immediately start
showing information inside each comment the GeoIP country location
flag of the person who commented as well as OS type and Web Browser
:)
