Hello Scott,

Thanks for the heads up but the behavior for the plugin is that it will get generated when someone views the article or the front page.

The reason behind this is because those like buttons and ratings that you see on the article when viewing it, will actually need a unique id that is linked to the discussion. There is no way to only generate this upon a new comment.

By the way, is there still issues with the new discussions being added as a response to the articles on your site?

OK. I deleted all 100+ (still seems like a large number of items with this site being unpublished).

I opened this article http://ec-bp.org/ecbp2012/index.php/articles/industry-updates/70-the-best-of-ec-bp-2011
and got the discussion you see - with the html code included

Checking the discussion list I saw 2 instances of the same comment. I then opened the article again and saw 5 discussions for the same article:
um Title Featured Published Hits User Replies Date ID
1 The Best of ec-bp 2011 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-12-06 05:00:00 238
2 The Best of ec-bp 2011 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-12-06 05:00:00 237
3 The Best of ec-bp 2011 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-12-06 05:00:00 236
4 The Best of ec-bp 2011 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-12-06 05:00:00 235
5 The Best of ec-bp 2011

Opened the article again and then there were 8 duplicate discussion items:

8 The Best of ec-bp 2011 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-12-06 05:00:00 234

so obviously still some very strange behavior here.

You can see the duplicates from the front end as well:

Hello Scott,

Would you mind passing me the access again? I've corrected some issues with this plugin.

I've added access information to the ticket.
Thanks

Another unwanted behavior -
I have 2 articles added but unpublished. The discussions were created and displayed in the discussion list, and marked as 'new'.
If an article is unpublished it should NOT be displayed/ announced. That should only happen at the time of publication.

Hello Scott,

I have applied some fixes on the plugins. Can you give this a try again now? (Fixed HTML codes, unpublished articles should not get created and the duplication issues)

Thanks -
I see that the 'readmore' html code is replaced and now appears as a link. However the image at the head of the article still shows html (see http://ec-bp.org/ecbp2012/index.php/discussions/edi-going-mobile)

Also - I just clicked on the article above then checked the Discussions. I see 2 new discussions created from that click:


Num Title Featured Published Hits User Replies Date ID
1 EDI Going Mobile 1 Scott Koegler 0 2011-10-07 17:05:15 19
2 EDI Going Mobile 0 Scott Koegler 0 2011-10-07 17:05:15 18

Clicking the article a second time did NOT produce additional discussion items, which is different from previous experience.

Also, I see there is a new version of the component. Should I update?

"Your current version 2.0.3511 is outdated. The latest version of EasyDiscuss is 2.0.3537"

Thanks

Hello Scott,

Yep, can you try upgrading to the latest version and delete those discussions and try viewing them again?

Installed the new version. Deleted all discussions
Refreshed the front end
Immediately saw Discussions created for each article displayed on the front page.
Opened this article (http://ec-bp.org/ecbp2012/index.php/articles/industry-updates/80-cheetah-your-pmo)
there are 7 responses autocreated below it (very strange) and each is actually the intro from another article.
The Readmore is formatted properly
The intro image is HTML code.

(I hate giving bad news)

Please review my last comment. Is there any update to this?
Thanks
