[Plugin: LJ comments import: reloaded] Useless if your blog isn't in the root folder

Are you still interested in paying to fix this plugin to work in subfolder? I would do that work for you.

Oh, I got the idea now. Didn’t realize that WP have premium (paid) plugins. Will investigate in this direction and do the fix.

As you are updated to this thread, I will update it when I have done anything worth seeing.

Thanks for your response!

Not yet. Finding motivation 🙂

Do you have only the problem with root folder?

I only came across this plugin today, and was disappointed about it not working if the blog is not in the root folder.

However, I seem to have come up with a fix, in that it is importing comments for me. It is an inelegent hard-coded fix, but very simple. It may be that it can be tidied up by someone else.

The problem is entirely in the lj_comments_import_js.php file, and in the last two functions.

The last function, lj_comments_adminpage_sync(), has a reference in it to

document.getElementById(“lj_sync_progress”).innerHTML = \'<img src=”/wp-content/plugins/lj-comments-import-reloaded/ajax-loader.gif” alt=”loading…” />\’;

Edit the img src to include your blog directory – for instance, my blog is in a directory labelled wordpress, so that would become:

document.getElementById(“lj_sync_progress”).innerHTML = \'<img src=”/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/lj-comments-import-reloaded/ajax-loader.gif” alt=”loading…” />\’;

Similarly the function before that, lj_comments_call_sync(need_to_handle_response) has two lines starting:

lj_comments_ajax_get(“http://&#8217;.$_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”].’/wp-content….

again change that to include the name of the directory – in my case:

lj_comments_ajax_get(“http://&#8217;.$_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”].’/wordpress/wp-content

This will get the plugin working.

I think you could probably improve my fix by using $_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”] instead of $_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”], and then it wouldn’t need the blog directory added. But I’ve got comments working, so I don’t think I want to play with it too much – I’ll leave that to others.
