Hi everybody,
I am currently working on a website (and I admit I am new to this) using rapidweaver, stacks, foundations an a bunch of other stuff. What I woul like to achieve is that users can comment on individual pages. So I post a site and users can comment, pretty much like a blog. However, I want them to have to register/login before they can comment. What would be the best way to get there?
thx, Matthias
You can use the Disqus commenting system on regular pages as well as blogs. Probably the simplest way to go.
There are a few stacks for Disqus if you’re using Yourhead Stacks plug-in, as well as a stack that uses it’s own commenting system:
I use Sitelok with the Blab plugin. Sitelok looks after all the membership registration and Blab is a simple commenting system.
Hi everybody,
many thanks for your help and replies. One question regarding sitelok, though. My understanding so far ist, that it makes whole pages member-only. What I would like to achieve, is having only a portion of each page (i.e. the part where people can post comments) member-only. So basically, I would have the content part of a page, that is public, and a commenting part, that is member-only, but both on the same page. The reason is that I do want comments to be on the page they relate to, but I don’t want just anyone to be able to leave comments, I want to at least know who they are. Is that possible using sitelok?
I hope I am making sense.
thx, Matthias
P.S. forgot to mention: I do use Stacks.
Sitelok allows you to have both ‘public’ and ‘member-only’ content on the same page.
For example, you could have the following code to only allow access to ‘GOLD’ members:
<?php if (sl_isactivememberof("GOLD")){ ?>html code to be displayed only for logged in active members of GOLD
<?php } ?>Note that this function will only allow you to restrict access to your own embedded HTML/PHP code, and it can’t restrict access to a specific stack. However, if you plan on using it to embed a Disqus commenting function then this is easily done. You can simply insert the Disqus embed code in the example above, and it will do everything you want.
Joe Workman’s Sitelok stacks ( an add-on for Sitelok) make it even easier to mix and match public and protected content on a page. No messing about with code required as it’s all done with the stacks.
Thanks for that! Do you have a link for me, so I can look at this in action?

Your’e not going to see much matthias, as it’s in my Sitelok protected member area
