enhanced comment functionality and moderation

[anonymous]

Was just looking around for ways to enhance the community aspects of Plumi via commenting. One option is  http://plone.org/products/plone-comments/ which adds additional functionality such as a listing of latest comments, enhanced moderation and notification to the item creator that their video has been commented on.

Presumably it would not be a stretch to add a latest comments portlet which apparently doesn't exist but is in the roadmap for plone 3.5  http://blogs.onenw.org/jon/archives/2007/05/16/improving-plone-comments/  http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/184

qPloneComments installed on testing. Try it out

So this product give "enhanced moderation and notification to the item creator that their video has been commented on." but not a listing latest of comments.

For that purpose, I have written a latest comments portlet.  http://talk.quintagroup.com/forums/plone-comments/438886780/#639094758

Ive also modified the email out templates to add a '/view' to the urls which get sent out. Like to the videos without this , start the download of the video, instead of seeing the info page  http://paste.plone.org/16897

Need to think how to distribute this - ideally this goes back into qPloneComment next version

Then need to install defaults in PlumiSkin?, after its auto-installed via a dependency

Have installed qPloneCaptchas - to get the captcha functionality on the comments. Since we have disable anonymous commenting, its probably overdoing it, since you cant get a login without going via a captcha-enabled signup form.

This is all working according to our tests on  http://testing.engagemedia.org/

Make PlumiSkin? dependent on qPloneComments/qPloneCaptchas  http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/50233

Add in three new portlets , events/news/recent comments when installin PlumiSkin?  http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/50234

This is done , and checked in SVN

deployed on testing.plumi.org

The code needed for this is summarised in the latest plumi-0.2-rc1 tags on ATVideo/ATMediaFile/PlumiSkin

NB - the patch is no longer needed - the functionality overrides for qPloneComments is in the subfolder 'qplonecomments' in the skins/plumi directory
