[PHP] Comment management
Hi: I posted this on the web-design list, but didn't receive any leads. I want to continue what I've been doing, which is to offer various code solutions for people via my web site, but I would like to add a feature where people can comment on the code. Such as if they found it useful, or found an error, or general comment -- you know, you've seen this before. Also, I want the code to be secure and allow me to edit users comments. Does anyone have any recommendations or can point me to a simple content manager for such a purpose? I know I could write it myself, but I would rather not reinvent the wheel, if possible. Thanks. tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Comment management
Think he's looking for something that'll manage comments.. not bugs. As he says, so people can post comments (like in the online PHP docs where there are user comments for differnent entries with their own code samples and notes). -TG = = = Original message = = = Maybe you mean a bug tracker? checkout http://flyspray.rocks.cc/ on Monday 23 October 2006 17:12, tedd wrote: Hi: I posted this on the web-design list, but didn't receive any leads.

Hi Tedd, you may want to check out a Blog-Software like Wordpress if it fulfills your requirements and relaunch your website using it. From what i see on your page, it could pretty much replace the functionality and add the benefits of comments, nice urls, etc Greets Rocco -- New Identity AG http://www.newidentity.de On 10/23/06, tedd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi: I posted this on the web-design list, but didn't receive any leads.

If you just want something simple like what PHP uses, you're probably going to spend more time looking for someone else's solution than it would take to write it yourself :p It's quite trivial for any half-seasoned coder.

Hello tedd, Monday, October 23, 2006, 1:53:41 PM, you wrote: Well... I was afraid that someone would say that (paint me into a corner). I just wanted to check before launching my own home-grown solution and then having everyone say Why didn't you use so-and-so's 'comment manager' ? Sorry, wasn't paying attention earlier. I recently wrote a comment manager that you include on the page you want to do comments. It uses one MySQL table with an id that relates to the page the comments pertain to. i.e. it uses the same code and DB table for multiple pages where the comments may all be different. It's cake easy to implement (one php file to display and save new comments) and I'd be interested in any comments you might have about it. PM me and I'll send it to you. If you want to see it in action, take a look at http://trucks.pcwize.com/ubiquirack.php (at the bottom). I need to setup a test page for this somewhere on my devtek.org site. -- TBUDL/BETA/DEV/TECH Lists Moderator / PGP 0x5D167202 __ Geocaching:http://gps.PCWize.com ( ) ( ___)(_ _)( ___) TBUDP Wiki Site: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/tbudp )(__ )__) _)(_ )__) Roguemoticons Smileys:http://PCWize.com/thebat ()()()(__)PHP Tutorials and snippets:http://www.DevTek.org Stock news: Certs shareholders breathe easier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well it's still trivial, just most of us who have frameworks wouldn't be so wasteful of our time to remove the dependency of our framework and code it from first principles. We created frameworks for a reason. Also, you've added a feature list not present in the OP, and while I still say trivial that may depend on what you expect of #2 and #3 which you've obviously left blank which means we don't even have your list of desirable characteristics... so actually, your request is sort of impossible since I'm not about to guess... and I'll sleep well tonight whether I prove you wrong or not :) Cheers, Rob. -- .. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :: | An application and templating framework for PHP.

If your framework is written in PHP and doesn't have any external dependencies, why are you bothering to make this point? You seem to be trying to debate something that's completely irrelevant.

Blacklist approaches to filtering your request is sort of impossible since I'm not about to guess. I'm currently writing a test suite for this, and I'd be happy to test any solution you've written. But, to be quite honest, if you think the problem is trivial, your solution isn't likely to be very useful to me.

Ah, I thought by external dependencies you meant other PHP libs (as in not a standalone comment manager). I still say trivial that may depend on what you expect of #2 and #3 which you've obviously left blank They weren't obviously blank: I didn't say they were blank, you've mentioned what you don't want, not what you DO want. 2. Some content is removed What kind of content removal bothers you? There are security implications with leaving submitted data intact (you're well aware of that I'm sure :) 3. Blacklist approaches to filtering What would you prefer over blacklist approaches? I'm currently writing a test suite for this, and I'd be happy to test any solution you've written. But, to be quite honest, if you think the problem is trivial, your solution isn't likely to be very useful to me. It depends on the problem. Your criteria don't define it well yet. The OP's criteria did define it as trivial. Cheers, Rob. -- .. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :: | An application and templating framework for PHP.

Well, within our framework(s) we have a comment module that can be attached onto any other module (like a blog, a content area, a workgroup, a document repository etc), but I didn't mention it because its in our framework. The module code is really quite simple (written in a day) so you may find it useful for looking at, if you are not using our system... http://avoir.uwc.ac.za for downloads or http://fsiu.uwc.ac.za/ and check out the wiki, where we use the comments module for wiki comments. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/uwc2006/content/mail_disclaimer/index.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
