None of the comment state needs to be stored through the a later run of
ikiwiki, so move it all from pagestate to a more transient storage.
This is assuming that we'll never want to add pagespecs to search against
the comment state. Pagespecs like author() are why the meta plugin does
store its meta data in pagestate -- the data can be needed later to match
against.
Put the icon after the name, mostly because it scans better on
non-graphical browsers where the alt text is displayed. And because the
name is really the more important part.
Makes it look more like a blog, but not enough to be confusing, and with
nothing as large as in a blog. Removal of the vertical line under the
subject imho makes it easier to scan through comments as each box is a new
one. Bolding the subject seems to make it stand out enough, especially as
its a link now. (Also considered increasing its font size to 110%.)
This is a mockup of Joey's idea; to do it properly, the icons should
move to the basewiki or to a comments underlay, and {x} should be
replaced with an OpenID logo (if one with clear licensing even exists).
Mostly to make it more visually similar to the page edit form.
I'm a bit uncertian about the placement of the page type selector,
and about removing the "Page type". May rethink that.
The thinking here is that having both a Discussion page and comments for
the same page is redundant, and certianly not what you want if you enable
comments for a page. At first I considered making configurable via pagespec
what pages got discussion links. But that would mean testing a new pagespec
for every page, and a redundant config setting to keep in sync. So intead,
take a lead from my previous change to make inlined pages have a comments
link, and change the discussion link at the top of regular pages to link to
their comments.
(Implementation is a bit optimised to avoid redundant pagespec checking.)
Jumping to the just posted comment was the imputus, but I killed a number
of birds here.
Added a INLINEPAGE template variable, which can be used to add anchors to
any inline template.
To keep that sufficiently general, it is the full page name, so the
comment anchors and links changed form.
Got rid of the FIXMEd hardcoded html anchor div.
More importantly, the anchor is now to the very top of the comment, not the
text below. So you can see the title, and how it attributes you.
Avoid changing the permalink of pages that are not really comments, but
happen to contain the _comment directive. I think that behavior was a bug,
though not a likely one to occur since _comment should only really be used
on comment pages.
