## Description

“Mention comment’s authors” is a plugin that improves the WordPress comments fonctionality,
adding a response system between authors.
 When adding a comment, your readers can
directly mentioning the author of another comment, like facebook or twitter do,using
the “@” symbol.

This mention plugin add two features :

 * In the comments field, when an user entered the “@” symbol, it allows, through
   an autocompletion system, to quote (or poke) a preceding commentator.
 * Once comments validated, the mentioned names take the appearance of buttons. 
   When the user clicks on it, window scrolls to the preceding comment from the 
   person named. A class is added to it, for temporarily customize it in CSS.

This WordPress plugin is based on [“jquery-sew” jQuery plugin](https://github.com/tactivos/jquery-sew),
by [mural.ly](https://mural.ly/).

## FAQ

  How to customize Mention Comment’s Authors apparence ?

You can Easaly overide MCA style, in CSS, because all style use only one class (
refer to the _mca-styles.css_ file)
 But if you prefer, you can dequeue plugin’s
style and include (and modify) the plugin’s stylesheet into your own theme file.

To disable the inclusion of the style sheet, just add this code to the functions.
php file of your theme :
 add_filter( ‘mca-load-styles’, ‘__return_false’ );

  Why the plugin isn’t working ?

There are several reasons why the plugin does not work:

 * make sure your theme uses properly “comment_text” filter hook to display the 
   comments
 * make sure your theme uses properly “comment_form” action hook after the comment
   form
 * make sure your theme uses properly “comment_post” action hook after publishing
   comments (if you’re running an ajax based comment system). Don’t forget to pass
   the arguments to this hook.
 * make sure there are no conflit between the plugin and your javascripts file (
   regards to dependancies !), maybe your script have to load after the plugin…

  How to disable (or filter) mail sending ?

The plugin automatically sends an email to comment’s authors having been mentioned
by another user.
 If you want to disable this feature, just paste this code to the
functions.php file of your theme : add_filter( ‘mca_send_email_on_mention’, ‘__return_false’);

But if you want, you can also and conditions.
 To help you filter, the hook embeds
the comment and the list of recipients expected.

For example, if you want to doesn’t send mail to commentators already mailed by 
the “subscribe to comments” plugin, You can do this :
 add_filter( ‘mca_filter_recipient’,’
dont_send_user_who_already_subscribe’, 100, 2 ); function dont_send_user_who_already_subscribe(
$recipients, $comment ) { global $wpdb; $su = $wpdb->get_results( ” SELECT comment_author
FROM {$wpdb->comments} WHERE comment_subscribe = ‘Y’ AND comment_post_ID = {$comment-
>comment_post_ID};”, ARRAY_N );

    ```
        foreach( $su as $val )
            if( array_key_exists( sanitize_title( $val ), $recipients ) )
                unset( $recipients[ sanitize_title( $val ) ] );

        return $recipients;
    }
    ```
