OSCOMdiscussion
Simple comments for Midgard sites
we have made a simple comments script for the OSCOM site to be compatible with the NemeinNavBar URL-to-content matching system.
The script is available under LGPL here:
OSCOMdiscussion2.xml.gz
Using OSCOMdiscussion
- Install the package using repligard:
repligard -i OSCOMdiscussion2.xml.gz - Create a "discussion topic", for example a rootlevel topic named OSCOMdiscussion
- Create a "guest user" that has write permissions to the discussion topic
- Add the guest user to a group
- Mark the group as the owner of the discussion topic
- Set three parameters to the discussion topic:
- OSCOMdiscussion, email_comments, user@domain.com
for email address where new comments should be sent - OSCOMdiscussion, guest_user, guest
for the username of guest user - OSCOMdiscussion, guest_pass, password
for the password of guest user - Then create articles under the discussion topic. These are the "discussions". Note the GUIDs of those articles
- Edit those topics or articles on your site where you want to include
a discussion and add the following parameter:
OSCOMdiscussion, GUID, b87b90adc2e1357eaeadfb6e81536af7
pointing to GUID of one of the discussion articles created under the discussion topic - Finally, edit your site, and add the following to end of your
article/topic viewing page (typically the active root page):
mgd_include_snippet("/OSCOMdiscussion/discussion"); - Edit the code-init element for that same page and add:
mgd_include_snippet("/OSCOMdiscussion/discussion-init");
Note! OSCOMdiscussion expects that topics and articles are instanced as $article and $topic on your site, like for example NemeinNavBar does it.
