I wonder if you’re aware of the term guthenbergs parenthesis, it’s fascinating. The point is, that the printing press brought forth an era between the manuscript era and digital era during which texts were neither annotated nor shared by readers. With manuscripts the copies of texts were so few that scholars and other people studying shared them and thus their annotations too.
With the printing press, everybody could get their own private copy, thus no sharing was taking place. Also reading became a solitary, silent endeavour, unlike before. And now in the age of digital distribution, well… we spend all days discussing texts :) Gutenberg parenthesis presents a period of silence in annotation and sharing the annotation.

Interesting point. Public and private comments is something we’ve definitely had on the radar before, and may put into Commentpress eventually. But the idea of publishing out your comments to a private, portable space—it’s a lot like a feature of most feed-readers. You can choose which links from your feed appear on a public blog, which is independent of the feed, and basically acts as a tracking device for all your readings.
This, of course, requires a centralized service on which to store the feed records, so the model is different than Commentpress. But maybe there’s something we can think about here using OpenID and pingbacks or trackbacks. In any case, a difficult problem in our current model of distributed installs, but an interesting thought. Thanks!
-
I use coComment’s services to track my public comments and conversations I participated in.
It might be useful to have private meta-comment facility. I think I have heard of some tools like that (clipping services?), but I am not using any at the moment.
-
having this interface in font of me, with the floating composition space, it’s fantastic. a real mental freshener. it occurs to me that if the meta-comment gizmo were to exist it would have to be paired with a web snapshot facility to retain context. i don’t know how i would handle that, but it’s a problem with web research in general. when you start going element-by-element on a page you get that exponential thing — nifty though to be able to see your friends’ del.icio.us markings, graf by graf, as you browse. version control nightmare!
-
For private notes i use Zotero, which is basically a citation tool with some annotation functions. It’s implemented as a Firefox extension. I would prefer to by default share my notes and it AFAIK sharing of links and notes is in the works. Zotero takes snapshots of pages and retains a link to the original. I wish it had a function to compare the saved and the current versions of the original web page.

-
Your development has already been eclipsed.
Reframeit.com has a tool that anone can use to comment on any portion (a word, phrase, sentence, paragraph — anything they highlight with the cursor) of any web page on the internets!
-
Yes, I recognize the work of McKenzie. I’ve seen a demonstration during a festival at Paris.
-
Ultimately, I’m not sure Wordpress is the best platform for this idea. Maybe MediaWiki would be a better platform to start with. Or possibly Drupal.
This implementation is limited by a lot of things, including the fact that the paragraph and the page are the only units of text that can be commented on.
But it’s a great way to get a lot of people experimenting with relatively low technical threshold to cross.
-
Interesting concept.
-
I’m a little at a loss for how ‘marginalia’ is lost. the ebook is always availalbe on the web’s ‘shelf’ just like any old book hidden on your book shelf. the same way you go back to find your book notes, you can find your web notes along with those of others which should provide a more edifying experience overall.
i’m sure at some point the text and comments of important texts will be provided in a print version – there will always be a need for canonization by materialization. At that point, the text and annotations will be easily pulled and distributed to all. The social evolution of the book can be made palpable.
This experiment excites me a great deal.
-
this is really interesting!
-
Personally i think a WP plugin is not a perfect solution, since it’s not generalist. I would find a 3rd party service for centralized comments and a method for client (browser) to fetch and display them. Such a system perhaps already exists, but i’ve just failed to utilize it. Anyhow the idea and implementation of this commenting system is fantastic in a limited context. You’ve done an excellent job at questioning the standard style of blog comments (i cannot believe that hasn’t evolved after blogs were invented) and presenting a functional examples of an alternative.
-
I guess it is an inherent feature of commenting on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis, that i already wrote about the issues rised here in an earlier comment above. Perhaps it would still be a good idea to first read through the whole text at one uninterrupted go before commenting. Instead of hopping from reading-mode to commenting-mode after each paragraph ;)
-
There’s an simple article about web annotation on Wikipedia, with a list of implementations: I should go and try some.

Any updates for commentpress latest development?

I like the margin comments. Is it possible to place comments directly below the paragraph in a hide/show format? I’ve been searching for this kind of solution for some time now. Mostly trying to string multiple WordPress plug-ins together…which gets tricky in a hurry. I haven’t dl Commentpress yet but I hope its not to difficult to skin and rearrange some of the page elements. Also, how would you suggest having multiple books on one comment press?
-
No, at present it’s not possible to change where the comments appear, but you could create a child theme to do this. Bear in mind that it would involve some pretty major revision, however.
Multiple books can easily be done by installing CommentPress in a multisite environment.
-

I not to mention my guys have already been reviewing the great hints from your site and all of the sudden got an awful feeling I had not expressed respect to the site owner for those tips. These guys ended up so warmed to read through them and have definitely been having fun with them. Thank you for genuinely quite accommodating and then for choosing some good ideas most people are really desperate to learn about. My very own sincere apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.
-
One advantage of comments in a separate pane is that a longer comment doesn’t interrupt the flow of the content but can be displayed in full in the separate space.
-
Very informative post.Thanks Again. Want more.

I created a website with the Constitution of Denmark for people to debate a much talked about future update of the law. It’s called Grundlovs Debat.
It’s in Danish though, so non-Danish readers probably won’t get much out of it, but Commentpress is a very cool tool for discussing texts like that.

Howdy Book Futurists,
I am setting up a “Plog” at http://www.didactalab.de/plog – right now it is in German language, but here is a short synopsis of the Plog idea:
A “Plog” is a Publication Blog, where the author(s) reflect their publications:Short synopsis of the most important points with some quotes
reflection of thoughts
background infos and material, insights from today (what was good, where did we go wrong etc.)
rediscover ideas
make texts accessible where no fulltext is in open access
start discussion with readers
collect ideas, questions, contra-positions etc. from the readersIt’s a great tool – thanks for making it available!

I am a middle school teacher and my advisory/homeroom is using the blog to discuss a book we are reading. The students and I take turns reading the book. We record the readings in Audacity and upload the mp3s to the blog posts for students who are absent. Our discussions are pretty basic at this point, but I think the format has potential for giving students practice in reading, writing, speaking and listening.

You could also use this to collaboratively translate a text ;-)

I had a similar idea about three years ago at the library, nice implementation!

I use Commentpress as the layout for my AP Biology class’ blog, where we discuss issues in science, technology and society: TheBiologySpace.BioBlog

Just another person testing out commentpress. neat idea; in our software we’ve got word-by-word commenting so teachers can click just about anywhere in a student’s work and write in comments, which has its advantages and disadvantages vs this.

The 3m10p project at Temple University used CommentPress to allow students to collaborate on research article drafts. Students in Temple’s Tokyo campus design psychology experiments and write the drafts, and psychology majors from Temple main campus in Philly debunk their work. The set-up allowed us to write 9 research papers in … only 3 months.

Bug reports (24 comments)
-
I tried this theme on my test site. It seems to work fine in Firefox but I get a javascript void error in IE.
-
This should be resolved in version 1.1
-
-
I’ve run into this same issue. It would appear to be something that shows up in Commentpress when you have WP2.3 installed. I was able to successfully use CP with both WP versions 2.1 and 2.2.3.
A look at my htttpd error log seems to indicate that CP causes some sort of unrecoverable error. Example:
[Thu Sep 27 10:56:34 2007] [notice] child pid 1596 exit signal Illegal instruction (4)I’ve received the same issue on both Mac OSX and Solaris. I’ve tried it both with Apache 1.33 and Apache2, and PHP4 and 5.
This really does seem to be some incompatibility between WP2.3 and CP1.4.
Thanks!
-
Is something like captcha or recaptcha in the development plan, or has added this themselves? Our sys admin wonders if there is a way to integrate challenge-response into Commentpress to avoid automated spamming.
-
I’m new to Commentpress and just a week old on the edublogs site.
I’d love to use Commentpress for my English class homepage/blog, but…
The “read/write comments” bubbles do not seem to function on my site. I click and nothing happens–my fault? -
We look forward to seeing developments in the future.
-
On the floating overview list, the “Paragraph X” list seems both repetitive, and rather thin on information. Am wondering if it might be more helpful to instead have a heading “Paragraphs” followed by a numbered list that includes the first line of each paragraph?
-
eddie@futureofthebook.org is a bouncing address.
Anyway: when will Commentpress be accessible without JavaScript? It’s not possible to use this without failing accessibility guidelines at present, which is a shame for a good tool. If it’s not planned yet, can you outline what changes you think would be needed?
-
@MJ: It has been ever since version 3.1. The latest version (3.2) adds full compatibility with the WCAG 2.0 guidelines. Caveat: that’s as far as we call tell without a professional audit.
-
-
Hi there
Is Commentpress dead? Any news of updates to theme welcome!
Best wishes
Jon
-
Er, no. Please check back for version 3.2 – out today.
-
-
I should add if anyone can drop the code or where to find it to make compatible with 2.8.4 pls do.

Commentpress 3.2 now requires Wordpress 3.0.1.

Hi, I’m using Commentpress 3.1 on my multisite Wordpress site v 3.0.1. We’re having a problem with Safari users who are logged in. When they click to “comment on this page” (or paragraph), it just reloads the page but the comment form does not appear. It works fine in Safari for registered users, but we need for everyone to be able to comment on the site. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

-
A little more info: we SOMETIMES have the above issue with Firefox and IE as well.
-
There is a problem adding comments. I’m using Wordpress 3.04. I enter the first comment, say on paragraph 3, and all is well. Then, when I go to enter a second comment, be it on paragraph 3 or any other, it won’t do it in the sidebar — the mouse never changes to allow text entry. However, if I toggle to full page, it will allow typing. Weird, I know, but there you go. I’m running Chrome, if that helps.
-
Thanks for the report Rob, will investigate

Automatic installation only installs ‘readme.txt’, error in header is the error message.

Hi Martin – Are you trying to install Commentpress from the Wordpress plugins repository? That won’t work. Please download the plugin and theme from this site instead.

I’m getting an error on install. I can activate the theme, but when trying to view the page, I get this:

I have the latest version of wp (new install, just prior to installing commentpress theme and plugin). I’m using commentpress 3.2 (downloaded again today, just to make sure there were no corrupted files. Repeated the entire process. Got the same errors) -
this is good

Hi guys,
loving commentpress – thanks for all the hard work!
is there any way to use a child theme of CP and still get the commentpress options? i can understand that its not possible to support other themes, but it seems counter-intuative not to support child themes, as it means i have to hack the commentpress theme itself to make any changes.
any suggestions on how i can get round this?
thanks :-) -
I’m still getting this error and I’ve never heard any response to my earlier comment about this. Please, is there any way you could look at this and help me troubleshoot what might be happening?
thank you,

“a content license selector” sounds great! but i couldn’t find out anything @ “Commentpress options page” except ‘The title for table of contents’ and ‘ The slug of post to appear as welcome message’. am i in the wrong page?
Also, in s.korea, we have similar license scheme like CCL. can i add it to the selection?btw, i really hope to localize it into korean. where can i reach ‘internationalization support’ so that i start to translate?

Hi,
While trying to activate this on wordpress 2.9.2 it gives the error ‘The plugin does not have a valid header.’.
Any solution to this?
Thanks,
-
I don’t get this error on 2.9.2, and AFAIK, Wordpress plugin headers haven’t changed format. Can you give bit more information on your installation environment?
-
-
FYI, the file cp_latest.zip has a bunch of hidden system files in it that you will probably want to get rid of. These are all hidden system files: There is a folder titled “_MACOSX” also in cp_latest there is .DS_STORE, and in themes/commentpress there is .InterarchyMirrorCacheData, etc…
-
Thanks Tim, will look into it. We’re not far off releasing a new and updated version.
-
Tim: the new version of CP is now up – no more rogue files and a host of new goodies instead.
-
-
And, as I should have said above, THANK YOU for your work!

Apologies, Christian — I hadn’t uploaded the plugin. Still having problems with display, but no longer getting error messages about undefined calls. Feel free to delete my comments above (except for the thank you, which still stands!)

Hello .. nice tool
-
hey there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise some technical points using this web site, as I experienced to reload the site many times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I am complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for much more of your respective intriguing content. Make sure you update this again very soon..

Roadmap (17 comments)
-
Hi there,
We are using WordPress MU at the University of Victoria for distance courses and program community building. Are there any plans for the Commentpress theme to work with WordPress MU?
Thanks,
Keith Webster
-
that would make an amazing tool!
-
Belatedly: Commentpress has worked with MU since version 3.1
-
-
One feature I’m really hoping to see is the ability to break up long chapters into multiple pages using the tag (currently supported by wordpress). As it is now, if the post is broken up into multiple pages, a comment for paragraph 3 would be linked to the 3rd paragraph for every page of that chapter, not just to the one page it was meant to be linked to (sorry for the awkward wording there — I hope you can understand!).
Also, I would love to see some form of footnotes feature implemented as Papier Machine wrote above. Instead, I was forced to write my own footnote script that worked with commentpress.
-
Commentpress has supported multi-page posts since version 3.1. It also seems to work fine with jquery-tooltip.
-
Christian — in your current version of CommentPress hosted by FOTB, I see a reference to “rollover footnotes” code with Jquery tooltip. But this code does not appear in the CommentPress v3.2 that I recently downloaded. Is it a separate WP plug-in that I need to install? thanks!
-
Jack,
did you find an answer to this question about rollover footnotes? I’d be interested, as I will have the same issue when i start using this next week.-
Yes, here
-
-
-
-
-
What about translation in french?
-
Hi Guys. Forgive my ignorance but after reading the Eduspaces comment does this mean that Commentpress runs on wordpress Mu too??
-
@ActualAl: yes
-
-
I would like to have the option, of displaying the all the paragraphs of the original article side-by-side (contextually) with the comments of a selected individual user.
This would give greater coherence to the views of individual commentators and would open all sorts of creative possibilities for versioning.A great tool!
Mark
-
The ability to tag the paragraphs withoiut the <p> tag. Perhaps a different custom tag, as I’d like that every single paragraph seperatly commentable.
-
Sorry, id like it it every single pararaph WASN’T seperatly commentable by default.
-
This can now be done in version 3.2 – please see the documentation on “comment-blocks”. What you can’t do is mix automatic parsing and manual block division on the same page.
-
-
-
This looks like an awesome tool! How would one go about structuring several “books” with states in the same Wordpress instance? I guess many people have a process that involves several publications. For each there is a beta stage where comments are accepted and taken into consideration after which a new version is published.
-
My immediate thought would be to use Commentpress in a multisite setup/environment. Each “book” would be equivalent to a “blog”, with new revisions being new blogs.
How you decide to migrate the content from one revision to the next would be the only slightly tricky part – but you could always just export the blog using the built-in Wordpress exporter, I suppose… though that would take all the comments with it. Not too hard to amend what gets exported, however.

Same problem as demetri. He’s probably using the latest WP install, 2.9.1, like me. Are there any solutions to this?
-
Thanks to Kevin’s input, we now seem to have fixed this. Download cp_latest.zip for an updated plugin.
-
I downloaded the latest Wordpress 2.9.2 and tried using cp_latest. I am unable to activate the theme. It keeps telling me:
“The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

commentpress Stylesheet is missing.”

I’m getting a similar error on install. I can activate the theme, but when trying to view the page, I get this:

I have the latest version of wp (new install, just prior to installing commentpress theme and plugin). I’m using commentpress 3.2 (downloaded again today, just to make sure there were no corrupted files. Repeated the entire process. Got the same errors)
-
I am also getting the same error as Annette’s March 17th.

We are running wordpress 3.1, and we did download commentpress 3.2 just last week.
When running only the theme, it loads fine. When enabling commentpress plugin, the error happens.
Any help appreciated.
-
@Annette and @Ed – I cannot reproduce this. Could you post more details or contact me directly if you need more help.
-
I’m wondering how I can get to the CSS to change basic things like the footer color and such. I’ve gone to the Admin dashboard and then to the Editing part of the interface, but the custom CSS appears hidden.
-
I’d recommend creating a child theme to override styles, but if you need to edit the css in the theme from the Wordpress backend, you should just be able to add your style overrides in either style.css or custom.css
-
Thanks – will try that today.

Formatting Your Document (13 comments)
-
Many journalists I know refer to “graphs.” A “paragraph” could be the larger term. Or to be clearer, change the term for the aggregated paragraphs — perhaps call them “comment sections.”
-
SUPERB KUMMASAV
-
-
Another option: Jack Slocum, whose own granular commenting system very much influenced Commentpress, calls them “blocks”.
-
It’s awesome that you use paragraph tags, I wrote my own commenting system many years ago in perl and it also used paragraph breaks. So hopefully I can port my book draft over to Comment Press with minimal reformatting required.
-
This is an interesting piece of software – looks fantastic for this kind of thing actually.
-
I like “blocks” myself. I also like “units” or “sense unit”.
-
I have a document that includes many bulleted lists, and Commentpress is essentially useless because there is no way to indicate that a list is a paragraph. Doesn’t help to add tags around the list. Makes me very sad, as Commentpress is so useful otherwise.
-
@Dot: Commentpress 3.2 has two ways to generate commentable blocks -either leave the text as is and it’ll parse <p>, <ul> and <ol> tags, or use the new “comment-block” divider in the edit page screen to arbitrarily sub-divide your text.
-
-
“Lexias” is cute, from an obscurity point of view. I get the concern about “paragraph.”
If I follow, text blocks (like <p>, <ol>, <ul>) are commentable. Is blockquote?
What if you have an embedded ul? As in:
<ul><li>blah blah
<li>blah blah
<ul><li>sub-blah blah
<li>sub-blah blah
</ul><li>Back to the main blah
</ul>I’m not sure that’s necessary, just wondering. From the example, it seems the comments apply to the <ul> tag, not the subsequent <li> tags.
-
@Dave: sub-lists break Commentpress at the moment. Sorry about that – we’ll look more closely at it and see what’s possible.

Can’t get vimeo video to embed. Can someone supply more details on how to do this? Thanks. Mark

How to read a Commentpress document (9 comments)
-
I installed both the theme and the plugin onto my MU wordpress site and I’m sorry to say that neither the theme, nor the standalone plugin seem to work:
the paragraph by paragraph commenting does not function.
When miraculously the bubbles appear next to paragraphs, and even more miraculously link to the comment box, any comment submitted for a paragraph refuses to stick and just migrates to ‘comments on the whole page’.
This is too bad.
The concept is excellent. The Lapham Quarterly execution is extremely sharp. But your distribution of the theme and plugin do not work.
Should they be updated?
Where can one procure the version developped and customized by the Lapham Quarterly? -

I am trying out CommentPress on a WP 3.0.3 installation as a Network/MU and also have Buddypress 1.2.7 installed.
I do not see the top navigation bar. And as a matter of fact it looks like the CommentPress header and the Buddypress navigation conflict with each other.
Any ideas?
-
Sorry, but Commentpress has not been developed with Buddypress in mind, nor has it ever been tested with it. I am aware that the admin bar that is enabled by default in WP3.1 conflicts with the Commentpress navigation bar, so the plugin disables the admin bar for now. I am considering the options with regard to this, but can’t see a solution at present because both are absolutely positioned at the top of the page by default.

Is there a way to have the Table of Contents be the default display in the right hand column rather than Comments? I’m trying to use Commentpress for an entire class of students working on research papers. I’m going to assign each of them a parent page with several child pages (abstract & topic, research notes, draft). Having the Table of Contents up makes it a lot easier to navigate between students and see the total range of pages on site.
-
No, at present this isn’t possible. You could perhaps use multiple tabs to do what you want, with the TOC visible in the ‘master’ tab and open pages in new tabs instead of the same window.

I am new to using Commentpress (my College just installed it for me), so I apologize for this simple query: I don’t see all the buttons you mention in this page. In my installation, I see at the top a “home page” and “title page” button, but not a comment button or a thumbtack or anything else. Do you know why that is? Did we not install something that should be there? Do I need to change some setting? HELP! Many thanks

After installing commentpress and following the directions, I’m getting a “fatal error” in the coding. Any advice on this?

The theme is broken with WordPress 3.0. I did adapt it so that it works to some extent (see the site URL I’ve given), but I couldn’t get the paragraph-level commenting to work and so I removed it altogether from the plugin & theme. I left “General Comments” enabled and renamed it “Comments on the Book.” Let me know if you want the code and I’ll be happy to give it to you — I like the “bookishness” of the CommentPress theme enough to forego the paragraph-level commenting.

Dumb question probably, but can I install Commentpress on a regular old Wordpress blog if I have Wordpress Pro?
-
By “WordPress Pro”, I assume you mean a premium service on wordpress.com. If that’s the case, then no, I’m sorry, that’s probably not possible. As far as I know, you can only use Commentpress on a standalone Wordpress install.

there’s a blur here. the standard blog comment is a note to the author or the reading group. the standard book note is a pointer for later reference by that one reader. collaborative texts are interesting to me, but i can’t use this to annotate your blog, because i can’t find it again easily.
1) can’t track comments i left here, a year from now, from another location
2) wouldn’t necessarily be able to find a comment i left here again even if i remembered what i’d said.
this is probably a system service i’m talking about, integrated with any and all web browsers. it would appear on the page itself as a note i made and it would be in a searchable list of notes made in a dedicated — dunno, maybe “travel diary” interface.
anyway my ideal would be to have clicked that talk bubble over there and have that make this note (with a public/private checkbox?) which then automatically registered — no — i’m talking about two different systems. comments for discussion, and a maybe a pencil icon for personal note. well anyhow the note would be logged in some portable database.
