Hello,




What software can I use to add comments at the bottom of certain pages from my website ? I do not want to use any content management software. All I need is the comments – nothing more.

Would be easy with basic php, a MySQL database and an html form.

Comments within the code of the page or comments viewable on the website itself? For comments in the code with just HTML, you could just throw them into meta tags. Maybe something along the lines of <meta name="sitecomments" content="comments here">

With PHP you can just throw comments in with the regular
<?php
// comments
?>

IncognitoNetworks,

From my understanding he actually means comments on the page and not in the code. The reason being he said he doesn’t want something as complex as a CMS.

And in regards to comments in the code when just HTML, it’s much easier than that:

<!-- put your comments here -->

Hello all,



Any suggestion ? Is there a small package that does what I need ? Or perhaps I need to code it myself . . .

Razvan,
you want to add a line below each page of the sysem or what?

like find . -name *.html -exec echo "blah blah <BR> etc etc" >> {} \;

where it search for all *.htlm files and adds a line at the bottom?

On the page would be viewable by regular web users. He is not looking for that. Thus it would be in the code of the page, which would not require any complex CMS system.

Well .... YES !
Many sites have at the bottom of the page some form for adding comments related the content being displayed on the page. People visiting the website can add their comments...

There are some CMS systems that provide this functionality but I do not want to use those. I do not need any other functionality from the CMS except the comment stuff, this is why I would not bother installing a CMS for my web site.

This is new functionality for my web site !!! I repeat, it is about functionality of the site.

This is my last attempt at this :stan: . I cannot make the question any more clear that this. In fact I re-read the whole thread and I just don't understand how people can understand something else from what I said.

Well the confusing part to me was when you said you know how to add comments in php ;) I took that as meaning that you understood how to write a small application for adding comments to a webpage.

The best way to do this would be with a PHP/MySQL script IMHO, but since you are not familiar you should probably look around to find one.
