Show unpublished comments

su_comments (Show unpublished comments) is a small module, that allows you to display unpublished comments to their authors. It's just a kind feedback - to show users that their comments have been saved and await moderation. Such unpublished comments are displayed only to their authors (and of course administrators). Use of this module makes sense only if you run site with moderated comments!

This is a nice feature that Wordpress has. I have no idea why we don't have this in Drupal.

Features

• Unpublished comments are additionally marked as such with a message displayed in comment links area: "Your comment is awaiting moderation". This message can be themed using CSS as the message is wrapped with <span class="su-comments-unpublished"> tag.
• When anonymous user logs in this module keeps track of session change so unpublished comments are still displayed. Unfortunately this works only one way - when user logs out unpublished comments wont be visible anymore (until they are approved by site admin)

Installation

Just unpack and enable - no configuration needed.

To make things clear

Consider this standard scenario:

1. You run site with moderated comments.
2. Anonymous user leaves a comment.
3. The comment awaits moderation hence it is not visible to anyone (apart from administrators)
4. You as an administrator have to publish the comment to make it visible to all users including the one who created this comment in first place.

With my module nothing will change except point 3.:
3. The comment awaits moderation hence it is not visible to anyone (apart from administrators and user that wrote the comment (even if it is anonymous user!)).

This is just a kind feedback to the commenting user, so he (or she) can see that his (or hers) comment has been saved and awaits moderation. Normally user would see just a plain text message "Your comment awaits moderation" (or something like that), but this message will disappear as soon as user reloads the page. When using su_comments that user can see his comment right away after comment form had been submitted.
