Douche Bag — Our first official WordPress plugin
11:42 am in Entrepreneur News by Travis
Most people are nice in person. For some reason, when they have a monitor hiding their face, a few of them act like douchebags. We love the community here and are glad that we don’t have any of these DBs. But when you go popular on certain social bookmarking sites, they seem to arise.
So we created a tool just for those rare instances. It’s a simple and straight forward plugin for WordPress, called Douche Bag.
When you add the tag to the beginning of a comment, our plugin will automatically insert the Douche Bag.
It only takes a minute to install
Add a copy of the Douche image to your server
Place the “douche.png” image within the root directory of your WordPress installation. (ex. /www or /html depending on your server) If you have WordPress installed in a sub-directory, place the image in that main folder.
Add the following code to your theme’s stylesheet:
img.douche {
border:none !important;
padding:none !important;
background:none !important;
float:right;
margin-left:5px !important;
}
Activate the plugin
Like you would any other in your WordPress admin.
Add the douche code to the beginning of any comment you think deserves the honour, just like so:
How to edit a comment
If your theme doesn’t have an “edit comment” link next to each comment, you can locate the douche worthy remarks in your admin. You’ll find that section at something like: http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php.
That’s it.
This deterrent should help in keeping your blog comments clean and let you have a little fun as well. Instead of letting a douchebag ruin your day, use our little plugin to put them to shame, just like below.
Do you let me to myself?
i am
Hehe. It’s quite funny indeed to see how quick the whole thing was ruined :)
Genius…
Who was the original Douche bag who inspired you to create this plugin Travis?
Our Britney Spears post had quite a few Douche Bag worthy comments, but the one in our Entreprenews this week sealed the deal. Once I saw that the first word that came to mind was douchebag, and so it was born. :)
This is the greatest plugin. Ever. I don’t get many douches on my site, but if I do, I will install this sucker right away :)
This plugin has a lot of potential and I’d love to see it developed further.
As someone previously suggested you could create an admin section where you can add email addresses and an admin only link (maybe right beside the edit comment link) to mark a post as a db would rock. You would have to keep the code a secret though, or it could be abused…
haha! that is so cool! downloaded and installed! :)
for the sake of fairness, a Turd Sandwich plug-in should be created.
douchey douche bag this
This is magnificent. Truly a work of art.
If I wasn’t opposed to using “douche bag” as an insult, I’d totally use it. ;)
10/10!
This is a hilarious and original idea. I’ve had a few websites where something like this would have come in handy.
lol, great plugin…
Thanks! Nice plugin
