Expression Engine Plugin: Admin Comments

I wrote an Expression Engine plugin to give some administrative ability on the front-end of the site for both members and super-users of a website.

I first wrote this plugin for Animal Internet, a website that we built earlier this year.

The Admin Comments plugin gives users the ability to delete their own comments on a site, super-users the ability to delete anybody’s comment, and also a super-user can choose to close comments instead of deleting them.

View the documentation and download the plugin on the Admin Comments Plugin Page.

It’s pretty handy. I’m using it on this site now. It even gets a cooler if you add in some javascript to make the experience a bit more fluid. I didn’t incorporate that into the released version of the plugin as the javascript is fairly specific to my needs and website, but I’ll include a little video here so you can see what the possibilities are.

Let me know what you think, and send me any ideas you have for improving it, via my Contact Page. Thanks!
