The intention is that on a non-wiki site -(like a blog) you can lock all pages for admin-only access, then allow otherwise -unprivileged (or perhaps even anonymous) users to comment on posts. - -When using this plugin, you should also enable [[htmlscrubber]] and either [[htmltidy]] -or [[htmlbalance]]. Directives are filtered out by default, to avoid commenters slowing -down the wiki by causing time-consuming processing. As long as the recommended plugins -are enabled, comment authorship should hopefully be unforgeable by CGI users. - -The plugin adds a new [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] match type, `postcomment`, for use -with `anonok_pagespec` from the [[plugins/anonok]] plugin or `locked_pages` from -the [[plugins/lockedit]] plugin. Typical usage would be something like: - - locked_pages => "!postcomment(*)" - -to allow non-admin users to comment on pages, but not edit anything. You can also do - - anonok_pages => "postcomment(*)" - -to allow anonymous comments (the IP address will be used as the "author"). - -There are some global options for the setup file: - -* `comments_shown_pagespec`: pages where comments will be displayed inline, e.g. `blog/*` - or `*/discussion`. -* `comments_open_pagespec`: pages where new comments can be posted, e.g. - `blog/* and created_after(close_old_comments)` or `*/discussion` -* `comments_pagename`: if this is e.g. `comment_` (the default), then comments on the - [[sandbox]] will be called something like `sandbox/comment_12` -* `comments_allowdirectives`: if true (default false), comments may contain IkiWiki - directives -* `comments_commit`: if true (default true), comments will be committed to the version - control system -* `comments_allowauthor`: if true (default false), anonymous commenters may specify a - name for themselves, and the \[[!meta author]] and \[[!meta authorurl]] directives - will not be overridden by the comments plugin - -Templates that will display comments (by default that means `comments_display.tmpl`) -can use the following additional `<TMPL_VAR>`s: - -* `COMMENTUSER`: the authenticated/verified user name, or undefined if the user was not signed in -* `COMMENTIP`: the remote IP address, or undefined if not known (this is not currently recorded - for users who are signed in, who are assumed to be vaguely accountable) -* `COMMENTAUTHOR`: a "prettier" version of the authenticated/verified user name (e.g. OpenIDs are - formatted the same way as in [[RecentChanges]]), or the result of localizing "Anonymous" if the - user was not signed in -* `COMMENTAUTHORURL`: if the user was signed in with an OpenID, that URL; if the user was signed - in with some other username, a CGI URL that redirects to their user page (if any) - -This plugin also adds a `\[[!_comment]]` directive which is used when storing comments. This -directive is for internal use only and shouldn't be used on pages that are edited in the usual way. - -This plugin aims to close the [[todo]] item "[[todo/supporting_comments_via_disussion_pages]]", -and is currently available from [[smcv]]'s git repository on git.pseudorandom.co.uk (it's the -`comments-rebase2` branch).
