This extension allows to add a "discussion" panel to any page, where users can post comments. The design was partly inspired by comments on youtube, except that this extension supports a proper hierarchical structure of messages. An example can be viewed at the wikicaptions website.


[edit] Usage

To add discussion to a page, add the following wiki text:

<discussion />

You can also specify various parameters, e.g.

<discussion>
  post_group="user"
  characters_max=0
</discussion>

will disallow postings by anonymous users and remove restriction on the number of characters in a comment. Here is a complete list of all parameters.
