Extension talk:ArticleComments

Include discussion page on article page
Works great, but I am looking for a way to have comments appended to the article's own page on the bottom, much like Wordpress or any blogging software does. Main article, then the box to enter a comment, then a Comments header, followed by the comments themselves. Integration with reCAPTCHA would also be nice.

This extension is working very well, Im very impressed. Good support from Jim R Wilson also! Ive implemented a CSS for this at LeerWiki.nl regards B.Vahrmeijer


 * Regarding embedding the comments for an article into the article itself - there's really no need (in my mind) to do this programmatically. MediaWiki already has a mechanism for pulling to the contents of one article into another.  The code for the suggestion above would be:   This would show the comment form, followed by any contents from the talk page, transcluded into the regular article.  Hope this helps! -- Jimbojw 11:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Red Talk:... links

 * I'm on favour for that as well! with your code it appears but gives an ugly red link if the discussion page is empty. Of course, but visitors not into wiki would click that link then and be confused. --Martin, 2007-08-18

Require_once position
The line position for the ArticleComments "require" statement within LocalSettings.php made a difference between working and not working. This extension worked when I placed the ArticleComments "require" statement before other "require" and "include" statements. --Infonomics 22:31, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Code by default on all article pages
I really like this extension and works fine but: My wiki is already set up and I have 4500 articles which I want to include this extension on. I cannot add the code manually to each article and don't want to bother users to add it when they create a new article. So can it be included by default on each article and maybe category page BY DEFAULT?

The easiest way would be for me if I just could include a. --Martin, 2007-08-18

Return to article page after submitting a comment
I want to integrate this with the code from above. But after submitting a comment the article page should reload instead of the You have successfully... You may view... page. How can i set this up? Thanks! --Martin, 2007-08-18

Latest posts on top
I'd like to see the order changed so that new comments are on top. How's that possible? --Martin, 2007-08-18

User Names
I'd like to remove the Name field and have the user name included like the format but catched like ~ signature does to avoid fake posting. This could easily be done on MediaWiki:Article-comments-new-comment i guess? --Martin, 2007-08-18

Preview Button
A preview button next to the submit button would be cool! --Martin, 2007-08-18

Extend to Forum Extension
I really like how simple it is! I've been looking for a forum extension for gaes but with this it would be gorgious. Best would be in an own namespace like "Forum" but without the article vs talk page issue then. **Thumb up** --Martin, 2007-08-19
