Module for structured comments + Blog module

[panther]

Hello friends,

I need to have structured comments on my website and I can´t find the proper module.

I´ve found two modules, "Comments" and "CGFeedback" but both are for one-level comments only. And I need to enable answers to previous comments.

---

The second thing, which module is the best for webblog, writing articles (range of about A4), etc? Not short news. I´ve installed Blogs Made Simple, do you know better module?

Thanks.

Thanks, I look on CGBlog.

Than you wrote about CGFeedback, but my question is still actual. Is it possible to make structured comments? There is only "add new comment" but not "reply to this comment".

Thanks.

You should be able to put the CGFeedback call in CGFeedback to make replies to feedback...

Dr.CSS:
"You should be able to put the CGFeedback call in CGFeedback to make replies to feedback..."

Yes, it´s true... I didn´t see this solution before.


But I have another two questions to this module.

1) when I create "structured" comments by using CGFeedback in CGFeedback as you wrote, is than possible to delete the whole "thread"?

Example of comments:

Code: Select all

1. 
1.1. - I delete this comment and it should to delete comments which are replies to this one. IS IT POSSIBLE? It means or the first comment should stay here.
1.1.1.
1.1.2.
1.1.3.

2) When I add new comment, I stay at the same URL, but in the {content} variable is ONLY the form for add new comment. The rest of content of this page goes away. Why?

Example:

Code: Select all

<h1>Headline</h1>
<p>text</p>
{CGFeedback action='default'}
{CGFeedback action='summary'}

And after adding new comment (redirect to the same page), I see (on the page and in the source too) only this (nothing before, nothing after):
{CGFeedback action='default'}

After F5 the next same comment is added. Only when I insert the same URL (Ctrl+L and Enter, or F6 and Enter), I can see the rest of this content.

Why the CONTENT tag is rewriten?

[Dr.CSS]

Most all modules overwrite the {content}, some have inline='1' or a setting in the modules admin to let the {content} stay and not be overwritten..

Look in the Help for the module...

Ah, sorry, the inline param make what I need. Thumbs up!

About the second part of your (good) advice: "or a setting in the modules admin to let the {content} stay and not be overwritten".
I couldn´t find it there.

In CGFeedback > Settings tab a saw this:
General settings:
- Allow use of the wysiwyg editor for comments?
- Allow commentor to include html in comments
- Comment Word Limit
- Email Address Validation:
- Save user details in a cookie
- Message displayed after successful comment submission
- Moderate all comments:
- Moderate patterns:
- Moderate Matching IP Addresses:
- Module to use to detect spam in comments
- Module to use to use for CAPTCHA test

No chance to disabled overwrite the content tag.

CGFeedback version: 1.5.10

[Dr.CSS]

There is no setting in the admin, some module have some don't, but it does have parameters to leave the {content} alone...

(optional) inline="0" - Applicable only to the default comment form, and summary actions This parameter if set to a non zero value specifies that the output from the form should replace the tag that was used to create the form, instead of replacing the default content area. In the default (comment form) action this parameter is effective only when policy (see above) is "normal".

(optional) noredirect="0" - Applicable to the default action, when policy is set to "session" will specify that when a comment is successfully added not to perform any redirection.
