Comments do not work

roryrory · 2006-10-16 23:31:51

Hi,

Hope i’m not repeating any question – i’ve just spent hours trawling through faqs, websites, google, and still cant find a clear way to set this up, what i can imagine to be a simple thing, seeing is thats what TP is for.

I have built a site in a hurry, and have to finish it in the next couple of days. I have integrated TP into it quite successfully, the only problem is that I can’t seem to get the commenting to work. When I click ‘preview’ it won’t do anything – let alone submit a comment!

to see what i mena go to the ‘blog’ page on the site – www.waymoby.co.uk/pregalates

could somebody point me in the direction of some steps to take to set this section up with comments that work?

thanks.
Rory

You’ve somehow disabled the preview form for comments. I would first suggest comparing the default set of forms to what you have now. You can find them here

First, I can’t even get at your comment form because of how you’ve setup your section “pregalates” page (for example). You’ll need to correct this so we can see what else is wrong. :) What are the contents of that page?

@1beb – thanks, I’ve been through all the default pages, that seemed to help the preview of work

@Mary –

First, I can’t even get at your comment form because of how you’ve setup your section

- This seems to be the main problem. I have corrected all the forms and now tried creating different combinations of tags in this section. But still i cannot get to the quotes form through the articles.

The page currently reads:-

Your page doesn’t have a <txp:article /> tag. FAQ.

Mary · 2006-10-17 01:27:32

Okay, you’re using article_custom, and in some very strange ways.

First, let’s start by removing those and putting in:
<txp:article form="Single" listform="default" />

roryrory · 2006-10-17 10:10:48

hey, that kinda works

except that it’s showing the article(s) that I want to appear in the column, on the right!
it previews, but can’t submit anything?

at the moment I have that colum defined as a category – this shouldn’t be destiguished by a section for every page should it?

I tried this – <code><txp:article form=“Single” section=“blog” listform=“default” category=“main-page” /></code> – doesn’t work.

also… for some reason the comments form has a ‘forget’ tick box on a MAC, but it says ‘remember’ on a PC??

First, comments force you to preview once before you can submit, it is an anti-spam measure (click “Preview” and you’ll see the submit button appear).

Second, comments only work with the article tag, not article custom. Why are you pulling a category of your “blog” section’s articles onto your “pregalates” section page? are you certain that does what you’re wanting it to?

Thirdly, the forget/remember thing sets/unsets cookies. Chances are that on one of the two, you have or don’t have the right cookie set, so clearing all your cookies would make them both match again.
