Commenting System

Right now I'm building a website for a friend. I want a commenting system in it. Are there any commenting systems that let you use the same login as for the site? If not, could someone tell me the basics of how to go about making a commenting system?

You're building a website for a friend and you don't know how to make a comment system?

Re: Commenting System

My friend is REALLY bad with website design stuff. Therefore, even though I suck at it, I can design the site better than he can.

Also, I believe I could build a commenting system with what I know now, but it would really suck.

Re: Commenting System

Making your own commenting system is quite a hassle if you don't know any PHP or SQL, etc. If you do know anything about PHP or SQL, you need to write an action page to receive the following form and process it:

<form action="[INSERT SERVER-SIDE ACTION PAGE]" method="post">   Comments:<br />   <textarea name="comments" id="comments">   </textarea><br />   <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <p style="font-size:10px;">

In short, that's the input. The input goes to whatever your action page is to be processed, and the output is on the comment page defined in your action page.

There are several scripts you can buy or download if you feel like searching. Here's one.

Re: Commenting System

There's a program called Disqus and it uses commenting :rolleyes:

Probably not what you want though

Re: Commenting System

^I had disqus before, but I want the commenting system to use the user system I already have, and disqus wants a boatload of money to do that.

I've managed to start setting up a comment system, the submitting part works well... the displaying part, not so much.
