I have a task in my current DynamicWeb project that requires me to allow users to post comments in news articles. I'm currently using the News V2 module but there seems to be no existing module that directly facilitates commenting. I did some searching in the documentation, and found that the CMS>Weblog, CMS>ForumsV2, and eCom>Power Pack modules have this feature (allowing comments) but each module does not fully satisfy my requirements.
Here are the fine points regarding this task:
- Each news article should have a comments section at the very end wherein users can supply their name, email address, and comments (all three fields are required).
- If a news article should have any comments, all comments related to it should be displayed immediately after the news article but before the comments section. The order in which the list of comments are displayed should be chronological.
- In the comments section, users should have an option to allow them to subscribe to email updates when any of these two triggers happen: when the CMS Admin has changed the news article, and when other users have posted new comments.
