User Comments Improvement

I think it’d be really good to also record the IP address of the person commenting, particularly for when anonymous comments are turned on.

And email address, cut of the title (i think, no need to have one). HTML tags or BBCode, and comment permalink anchor ?

too much ?

Sounds good, but what we really NEED to do is make sure that double comments are prevented (IE no double submitting of the same comment).

Just a one-line JS to disable the button with the onclick state.

Why don’t we work on user comment integration with SMF forum?

Ehmm.. But I think it’s still better for us to have our own commenting system, in case somebody that doesn’t need a forum, but they still need a comment system for their blog. So anyway, I think it’s better for us to keep the comment in a separate database table, what do you guys think? I know it will bloated the system, but it will make a faster system, and provide search ability as well, with a lot of other cool things that we can do by using database.

Well, we’ve already got comments working with the blogs, we’d really only need to turn this same snippet loose on the existing documentation.

A better feature rich commenting system needed i think soooooooooooo... yep I think so

I think we can keep the current commenting snippet like this. The advanced commenting system is better to be integrated from forum. When we are working on the documentation commenting system we will surely have one up for comment integration with SMF.

When I’m done with my phorum integration, hopefully I can integrate a commenting system as well to it.

So what do you think on this Ryan?

While I love the idea, I’m not for it in this instance.

I think it’s a lot of work that could otherwise be focused in areas that need more attention and/or more immediacy ... like the File repository with revisions and comments on the documentation, today. The built-in commenting system that exists today works pretty well, and with a couple of very minor tweaks will work really well.
