Rating & Comment Script	Can't Post

Hello all,
I came across a nice Comments & Rating script which could be easily implemented in AM using the $art_fieldx$ tags. The script is the RatePro from http://www.grafxsoftware.com/product.php?id=17.

There is not much documentation available with the script but the guys are very supportive and it takes some work to get it working.
You can see it implemented at my site at http://www.child-neuro.org.uk/content/publish/news/article_539.shtml

My apologies if this has been discussed already.

Cheers,
Biju

Hi Biju,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I've had a look at the script you've directed me to and this looks great. It's nice to see that you were able to get this onto your Article Manager templates and it looks like this is working really well with the content you have on your site.

This looks like something that should work for quite a few people who are curious about how to set up something like this.

Thanks again for this post Biju! Smile

bijuhameed,

Thank you for posting about the comments script. I for one anm very interested in implementing it. Can only hope InteractiveTools will realize the huge value in adding this feature to the NEXT release of AM.

You mentioned it took sone work to intrigtate it into AM. Wondering if you could let us know what you did to get it integrated into your site. It looks great and I definately would like to do the same.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,
The comments script is pulled into the pages using jscript. ( A php include is also possible, I understand).

Quote

Obviously this works if all the articles have the default naming in the form article_$art_num$. If not you might have to create another field $art_fieldX$ and put the unique article name in that field.

Now this script does both rating & Comments. If its just comments that you are interested , then I had used another straightforward commentsscript from http://www.scriptsmill.com. Here all you have to do is pull the comments.php file by . You can see it implemented here http://www.child-neuro.org.uk/content/publish/journal-scan/article_458.shtml.

Hope this helps.
All the best
Biju

Very Nice! Thank you for posting back. I was looking for just the comments script so will probably go with scriptsmill version. Keep hoping InteractiveTools will build something like this into AM. Fingers still crossed :)

Thank you again for the info..
