Tailoring your Inline Add Comments Form
Wednesday, June
9th, 2004
To start with, some information on how the system decides
where to get its html for the Inline Comments Add Comment box.
In the Templates area there is a view "Add Comment Form" - this
is where the html templates are kept. Within the Configuration document/Template
tab there is a drop down "Default Add Comment Template" (11th
dropdown box) - this is where the template is selected that you want to
use.
If you do not have a "Add Comment Template" in your database
then one can be copied from the Dominoblog template database.
The default template is a good place for you to start as firstly it works
and secondly it provides an example on what I am going to talk about.
The html within the default template is just a simple table with the key
parts being the fields used to collect the information. The fields you
can use are as follows - although you can just use some of them if you
require (use lowercase field names):
- Subject
- Author
- Email
- Website
- Organisation
- Country
- Textcomment
You will see html code to handle the remember me part of the comment form
- so make sure you use that section if you create a form from scratch -
together with the code that submits the comment etc (See below).
So really the majority of the tailoring comes down to your knowledge of
html - which I'm not going to teach here - but as always any questions
let me have them.
There will be alternative comment forms available to download shortly.
