Description
Upgrade Notice :
If you have a previos version downloaded from my server (www.cuvintealese.ro), after update you may notice that now you have 2 versions of the plugin, one updated (ver. 0.5 ), and one still not updated (ver. 0.1 ).If so, just delete the not updated version.No loss whatsoever.The inconvenient comes from a mistaken « underscore » which was suposed to be a hyphen, so wordpress won’t recognize that folder on update.
The plugin shows below each post the name (link or text) of the people who visited it, based on their cookies, and their comment status approval.The plugin is a win-win model type, on one hand – for all the times when the user doesn’t feel or doesn’t have anything to comment, but he still marks his visits on your blog, and on the other hand – he gets « repaid » for his visit by listing his name under the posts he visited.
The plugin list the visitors name based on their cookies, if no cookies then a submit form will show up.
For preventing spam, displaying the visitor’s name will need at least one comment approved.
You can setup the plugin to show the name as link(if any) or text

FAQ
- How does it work?
-
If a visitors stumble one of your page, and he had previously commented on your blog but this time has nothing to say (he’s just surfing 🙂 ), he’ll be automatically added in the list below the post, so he can still mark he’s visit.
If the visitor has no cookie set, a form will show up just to enter his details and in a second he » be listed.
IMPORTANT : Only visitors with at least one comment approved can benefit from this – spam protection , db lower usage, and make them comment at least once 🙂
