I should have made it clear that dupe notes don't happen when I add them to my own posts.

Reply from Peter: Thanks. I’ve done more testing and unfortunately I still cannot reproduce this problem.

I just installed this plugin with latest version of WP and am noticing the same problem mentioned above. Posted notes are showing up twice when I post a note to a draft that is not 'owned' by be. I'm the admin and I left a note on one of my author's drafts.

I also lost my notes once (presumably while auto-upgrading).

Nevertheless it's a great plugin.
I have just one favor to ask: Would it be possible to accompany the "post published" with the newest note if the editor added a new note while publishing?

thanks in advance

Reply from Peter: Thanks for the feedback. It’s a bit of an edge case to have a post / page approved for future publication, and then to have an additional note added between that time and the time it is published. However, I’ll look at that for a future release.

All my notes are gone again! I love this plugin, but this is the 2nd time I've lost all my notes. I think it happens when I automatically upgrade wordpress. Has anyone else had this problem?

Using v1.0.5

Thanks in advance for any help.

Reply from Peter: Thanks for pointing that out. When you do the automatic WordPress upgrade, it deactivates all active plugins and re-activates them again. Starting in version 1.0.6, I’ve moved my plugin’s cleanup routines to be done when it is deleted, rather than deactivated.

Peter,

I love your collaboration notes and emails' plugins.

They worked flawlessly in WP 2.8.6

Now I am using WP 2.9

And after I upgraded, I and my users started noticing that when you post a note, it posts 2 copies instead of 1 copy.

This might be a bug, or it might have something to do with the fact that I have 2 individuals assigned as editors for each group, and 2 assigned to receive emails when no rule specifies.

Please advise….while it is not a fatal failure, it is a nuisance.

Reply from Peter: If I understand correctly, you don’t have a problem with duplicate e-mails being sent, but rather duplicate post notes being saved? Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce this problem (tested on WP 2.9 as well) but I will keep an eye out for it.

Works great, just a minor thing on the Dashboard with the "Collaboration Notes". If a user doesn't have any notes yet, it will display:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY notetime DESC LIMIT 5' at line 1]
SELECT postid, author, notetime, notecontent FROM wp_myblogdb_collabnotes WHERE postid IN () ORDER BY notetime DESC LIMIT 5

But if there is at least 1 note that goes away.

Reply from Peter: Thanks for bringing that up. Some MySQL versions seem to throw this error when there’s nothing in that “IN” clause. I’ve made the query logic more efficient now in version 1.0.5 of the plugin.

On my blog there are several authors and none of them can see previous notes. And everyone has javascipt enabled. There is no error message displayed, it just stays as before without being able to see older notes.
I tried with several browsers, and from several computers but still nothing.

Reply from Peter: Are you using the latest version of the plugin? Also, I am assuming that the problem is when you are clicking the “prev” pagination? If you are using Firefox, try viewing Tools > Error Console. JavaScript error messages are typically not displayed to the user, but they can be found there.

I can't see more than the last 5 notes. When i press back, in order to see older notes, nothing hapens

Reply from Peter: Are you referring to the “prev” button for general notes on the dashboard? As long as you have JavaScript enabled in your browser, it should work. If there are any specific error messages in your browser or maybe even in your server logs, please let me know.

Great plugin! Just one request: a call to function 'load_plugin_textdomain' is missing, so localization isn't possible, even if you create a file peters_post_notes-xx_XX.po

Reply from Peter: Thanks for pointing that out. I have now added that for version 1.0.3

I think I've found a small glitch in your otherwise brilliant coding. When you set $ppn_show_which_notes to either 'related' or 'others' you're not getting the proper response from the db. This is because of a small error (see below)

// Get posts this author has written
$ppn_author_posts = query_posts('author=' . $user_ID . '&orderby=modified&order=DESC&showposts=100');
$ppn_relevant_posts = array();
if ($ppn_author_posts) {
foreach ($ppn_author_posts as $ppn_author_post) {
$ppn_relevant_posts[] = $ppn_author_post->post_author;
}
}

The solution: change $ppn_relevant_posts[] = $ppn_author_post->post_author; into $ppn_relevant_posts[] = $ppn_author_post->ID; and the WHERE-clause of the SQL will now include the proper post-ids.

Thanks for the plugin by the way. Kudos to you for developing it!

Reply from Peter: Thanks for pointing that out. I have now fixed that for version 1.0.3
