Conditional output based on comparing the name, email, and/or url of the commenter. You could specify lists of known people and output a class of “friend” or “owner” or “whatever” based on their name. It’s also nice so that a stranger using the name of ‘Jon’ but using a different url or email than The ‘Jon’ won’t get confused. Intended usage is from within default comment form.

Requires:

• 1.0RC3 (rev180 or greater)
• If you are using Textpattern 1.0RC3 rev142 thru rev179, you will need to perform a one-line edit of /textpattern/publish/comment.php, as outlined in this Textpattern Forum thread (allows for plugin parsing in comments)
