rah_comment_form

It’s really that bad? Thousand spam messages a day? Wow, okay, I understand then. I didn’t think it was that bad. Thanks for telling me. :)

Can I write my own markup for the form? rah_comment_form doesn’t seem to accept a form attribute when used as a single tag, or any additional markup as a container tag.

The tag is a container. Premade form is only used when used as a self-closing tag. So it definetly is not hard-coded. See examples section.

I get the premade form even when using rah_comment_form as an enclosing tag. For example:

My form:

<txp:ign_if_logged_in>
	<txp:rah_comment_form>
		<fieldset>
			<legend>Make Comments</legend>
			<label for="rah_message" class="label-required">Enter a comment</label>
			<txp:rah_comment_message/>
			<p>I like cheese.</p>
		</fieldset>
		<txp:comment_submit />
	</txp:rah_comment_form>
	<txp:else/>
	<txp:comments_form />
</txp:ign_if_logged_in>

But rah_comment_form seems to ignore my markup:

<form id="rah_comment_form" action="http://path/to/article?rah_comment_save=1" method="post"> 
	<ul> 
		<li class="label"><label for="rah_message">Message</label></li> 
		<li class="textarea"><textarea name="rah_comment_message" id="rah_message" rows="6" cols="20"></textarea></li> 
		<li class="button"><button type="submit">Submit</button></li> 
	</ul>
</form>

Is there a setting I need to toggle somewhere to fix this? What am I doing wrong?

John, thank you for noticing and reporting :) Now the long present bug should be fixed. Version 0.3 changes:

Bug fix: Now uses the alternative container markup.
Bug fix: Changes form’s action based on permlink mode.

More info and downloads

Let me know if it doesn’t work :)

Very cool, Jukka— thanks! My container markup works now.

~~Two~~ Three questions:

How can I get the comments submitted by this form to display <txp:ign_user_info type="realname"/> instead of user id?
How can allow commenters to input a URL to the “Website” field of their comment?
How can I assign an id to the element textarea[name="rah_comment_message"]. An id is necessary for the label clicks to bring the field into focus.

Thank you again!

Currently there’s no way. The reason is that the user id is unique/eternal and RealName not so.
No option present.
By using plain XHTML. Example <textarea name="rah_comment_message" id="myIDthingy" rows="6" cols="20"></textarea>.

Thanks— exactly what I needed.

1. Currently there’s no way. The reason is that the user id is unique/eternal and RealName not so.
2. No option present.

Hmm, I’ll have to think of another solution then. Cheers!

I thought I might try using smd_query to get the real name from the database and display it. I can get smd_query to work but haven’t been able to successfully get the realname based on the user_id of the poster ie. to nest this within rah_comment_form.

Also, is it possible to change the dimensions of the comment box without hacking the plugin?

[EDIT] Figured out how to change the dimensions. Basic CSS.

Hey Jukka, any chance on getting this plugin to work with rvm_privileged? ign_password_protect doesn’t work well for my site as everyone who uses it is also registered as an author for the backend. I’m hiding the regular Textpattern comment form from the public already, making the Preview button superfluous spam-wise, and resulting in my interest in rah_comment_form.

Also, why not allow the RealName display because it isn’t unique? This isn’t a security measure is it? If not, this is another feature already a few of us are clamoring for!

Hi, Jukka!

Do you still recommend this plugin for creating a login-protected comment form? I’m asking because it depends on ign_password_protect and mem_self_register, and I don’t know if those plugins are still actively maintained.

I’m working on a Textpattern site that requires user-generated reviews on individual items (in the article table), and Textpattern’s comment system provides most of the functionality I need—but I’d like to keep the comment form for this section behind a login.

Thanks in advance for your guidance!

John

You can use it if you want, but not really. None of these have been updated in awhile.
