I would like to allow comments on ikiwiki pages without CGI.
|
|
I have in mind something like
|
|
|
|
* Use a pagetemplate hook
|
|
in a plugin (DONE)
|
|
* add a mailto: url to each page matching some pagespec
|
|
(currently every page gets a comment footer)
|
|
* this mailto url goes to an address identifying the page (something like
|
|
user-iki-blog~I\_hate\_markdown@host.fqdn.tld). (DONE)
|
|
[more details](http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/encoding)
|
|
|
|
* on the mail receiving end, these messages are either deleted, or ran through
|
|
a filter to be turned into blog posts. As a first step, I have
|
|
[written](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=ikipostal.git;a=blob_plain;f=filters/postal-filer.pl;hb=010357a08e9)
|
|
a filter that decodes the address and writes the message into an appropriate
|
|
mailbox. I would be interested in any ideas people have about security.
|
|
|
|
* the same plugin can check for comments on a particular page next time the wiki
|
|
is generated, and add a link. (more or less done)
|
|
> If the filter just checks in the posts into revision control, the
|
|
> post-commit hook would handle updating the wiki to include those
|
|
> posts as they come in. --[[Joey]]
|
|
* work in progress can be
|
|
|
|
- [cloned](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/ikiperl.git), or
|
|
- [browsed](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=ikipostal.git;a=summary)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any comments? Write them here or send them to [[DavidBremner]]

The current version of this plugin is now running on my home page. See for example
|
|
[a recent post in my blog](http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/blog/posts/can-i-haz-a-distributed-rss/).
|
|
Unfortunately although the [[mailbox|todo/mbox]] renderer supports threading, I haven't had
|
|
a chance to implement comments on comments yet. [[DavidBremner]]
