  • Hey, thanks for a great plugin! But I have a couple of issues with it:

    First; It doesn't display the tip this button for the posts on the front/archive pages, only on the post page itself. Now I'm not sure if I even want it to, but it would be great to have the option.

    Second; As you can see for example on this blogpost your plugin can create a little mess. It would be nice to have to textfields where I could input HTML code that should be added before and after the button.

    Third; An option to have the button displayed on the right hand side of the page, like I've done manually here (before I knew about your plugin).

    And lastly: I'd prefer it if I could either remove the "[?]" or if it linked to a page that actually explained what TipJoy is to people that doesn't know about it, and thus have no idea what that "Tip This" button does.

    I hope I'm not too late to be in the contest, and that I still am even though I post my comments here instead of on the contest post. I thought it would be better for you to have all comments related to the plugin here.. :)
  • It's not at all too late for the contest, and thanks for the feedback! You'll get an email with your coupon code soon!

    1 - The EVERYTHING option will put the buttons on the front page, but i checked and they aren't on the archive, so everything isn't really true. I'll look into it and at least make the wording better.

    2 - I think I fixed the mess or at least altered it's composition - if you'll download and try version 0.9.5 and let me know how it goes

    3 - I had thought of that too, if you have 0.9.4 then you have a sidebar widget that will add the Tip This banner. If your theme supports widgets you can drag the Tip This widget on to your sidebar by going to Presentation=>Widgets in your admin panel.

    4- I'll have a better landing page for that when the plugin is officially published, but you're welcome to dive into the code and find the [?] and remove it or alter it's destination to a TipJoy.com URL. Be careful of commas/semicolons if you delete it.

    Thanks again for the feedback it's much appreciated!
  • I installed the plugin and it seems to work fine. However, the tip icon doesn't appear in my RSS feed. Any suggestions?

  • Hey Prof! Thanks for the feedback, glad it's working well for you. I see the buttons in your feed and mine, it may have required the 'Everything' option to be on. Better customization is something that I'll have to add.
  • Installed it, thanks!
  • Darn did I miss the contest?
  • Nice plugin. Not bad for a PHP beginner :)
  • Great Plugin.. installed it nd worked absolutely fine
  • Good plugin i am using this plugin for one of my blog and its working fine.

    Thanks
  • I have seen things like this before, like TipJar. They don't really work unless you get a lot of traffic to your site and offer a free service like tech support or tips, tricks. If the users don't ahve anything to be thankful for, then why would they tip you?
  • Yeah I don't think it will work unless you have a ton of traffic and provide some free tools or something that a user can REALLY appreciate.
  • Wow this is a lot easier than putting code into every single post.

    thanks!
  • Nice plugin thanks for sharing it i will try to use for my blog now.
  • It would just require to have an account with tipjoy prior to the single-click operation for it to work.
