Comments and templates in PyBlosxom

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

A while back, I adjusted the comments plugin locally so that it would allow me to have plugins that change the template type they use from "story" to other things. A couple of months ago, I sent Ted an email with which pieces go in which templates. Figured I'd stick that here in case someone is looking for it.

This is only for the "story" section. The head template goes before and the foot template goes after this example. This also only works with the latest version of the comments plugin that has the template stomping code removed.

<div class="news">           <- story.html
<h2>$title</h2>               |
<div class="content">         |
...                           |
</div>                        |
links                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="comments">       <- comment-story.html
<div class="comment">        <- comment.html
Posted by $blah at $blah      |
$blah                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="comment">        <- comment.html
Posted by $blah at $blah      |
$blah                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="commentform">    <- comment-form.html
form stuff here.              |
</div>                        |
</div>                       <-
