Adding a comment capability like at PHP.net for some of the pages on my site. How hard is it to add to C5?
Permalink
You can see an example of this athttp://www.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php...
WordPress comments operate very similarly.
Basically visitors can add comments to the bottom of the documentation there which enhances the documentation, allows the author(s) to be made aware of points that need to be clarified, and even helps with SEO to achieve a higher ranking for each page in question if the comments continue to focus on the subject at hand.
I'd like to add that capability to some pages that I am developing for my site.
Is there some stock add-on (preferably free) that will allow me to accomplish this?
If not and I need to roll my own can someone please give me an overview, just an overview, of what would be involved?
Obviously I would need a form to allow input from visitors. No problem there.
But I would also need to be able to moderate said comments and decide whether to allow them or drop them.
And if comments are allowed, C5 would have to add them to the content of the page and save them in the database.
Not trivial I think but absolutely essential to me. I'll do whatever it takes to create this capability.
If I have to roll my own and create it I will of course consider making it available to everyone else through the marketplace here.
Any input on this would be most appreciated. Especially an overview of how I might go about adding this capability to my site through C5 if I need to roll my own.
Thanks.
