Homepage Links for comments

updated by rck, 2006-05-07

Most Blogs have them. Comment system that support homepage links. Making this possible in phpWebSite is not that much effort. Just add a template field, a new database field, a bit of php code and there you go.

To make life easier for you, I've lined out the steps required to add a homepage link to your phpWebSite. You can also see this comments enhancement in action on my homepage.

What about spam?
Yes, there's comment spam. We all know that. And it is easier by allowing anonymous comments, too. But think about it. You allow the a-tag, you allow the URL tag, why shouldn't spammers use that one anyway? I'm taking the naive, straight-forward attempt and ignore the comment spammers for once. Let's see how it turns out.

What about my existing comments
The existing comments are not touched at all. The homepage field can be null, so people are not forced to enter their homepage if they don't want to.

How can I implement it?
To have homepage links on your site's comments also, please follow the steps described in the Homepage Links for comments thread in my forums. Have fun!
