RM5248: Now with comments(almost)

I’m currently working on adding the ability to add comments to news posts. The framework is in-place, but I think that I need to re-work some of the website in order to make this more customizable. So, you can’t actually add any comments yet. I’m feeling rather lazy at the moment, and so I don’t feel like finishing it tonight.

So hopefully later this weekend. But because of what I want to do, it will take a little bit. Basically what I want to do is to make it possible to turn comments on and off, as well as have the ability to allow anonymous users to post comments. That’s something that I need to work on to allow maximum control over what is on the site, so that non-computer-savvy people can make a website for themselves and easily update it. This means that it would probably be a good idea to break out the viewing of individual posts into their own page, as right now that is all done thru index.php, and if I wanted to add more settings it would get very large and difficult to maintain. So, if I break it out into different pages I can make it cleaner.

I think that I am also going to look into re-working some of the SQL strings, making more use of PEAR to get values and insert values. Hopefully that will make it fully database-independent.
