FORUM INTEGRATION

Please note: only per-page comments are currently supported.

Before you set up the forum integration, make sure you've completed the forms integration

Prerequisites

We strongly recommend setting up a captcha to protect your forum from spam.

Siteprofile changes:

  <apply>
    <to type="file" />
    <forumplugin type="comments" usecaptcha="1" />
  </apply>

Other forumplugin attributes:

• postsperpage: max. nr. of post visible on page
• newestfirst: Change ordering, default newestfirst
• mailpostingsto: Send email of each post to given email address

example:

  <forumplugin type="comments" postsperpage="100" newestfirst="false" usecaptcha="true" mailpostingsto="example@example.org"/>

Add the proper JavaScript libraries:

import * as dompack from 'dompack';
import ForumCommentsWebtool from "@mod-publisher/js/webtools/forumcomments";

dompack.register('.wh-forumcomments', node => new ForumCommentsWebtool(node));

Add to your design library:

LOADLIB "mod::publisher/lib/webtools/forum.whlib";

PUBLIC OBJECTTYPE MyWebdesign ...
< ...
  UPDATE PUBLIC RECORD FUNCTION GetPageconfig()
  {
    OBJECT anyforumplugin := GetForumPluginForWebdesign(this);
    ...
    RETURN [ ...
           , commentsblock := ObjectExists(anyforumplugin)
                                ? PTR anyforumplugin->EmbedComments()
                                : DEFAULT MACRO PTR
           ];
  }
>;

And add to your Witty:

  [contents]
  [commentsblock]

Now, setup your recaptcha (or remove all references to it) in Modules > Socialite > Configuration and write somse CSS styling!

Events

When the comments are loaded into the DOM, a wh:forum-commentsloaded event is fired on the .wh-forumcomments element
