just- Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 wierd when i tried to post a comment in the new newsarchive i had to log in and it sure didnt look like the log in from the forums or the loggin from a typical testmy.net site i tried and it rejected so do we have to register in two places in one website ?

xs1 Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 Right now the news section can only be used by moderators and chosen news folks.. ( already been done by ca3le) I think ca3le will need to either remove the ability to make comments ont he articals, or find a way to integrate the forums with the news script.

just- Posted May 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 yeah doesnt seem pratical at all to have 2 logins in one website people back off already making new acount in new places cause of how many email accounts they have and username/password so in one website register in two places seems a bit extreme im sure cable is aware that this is not the best way, but he is not GOD and he does not have 100s of people behind him coding i belive only him coding this website so we will just bare with him and help in the ways we can as users and tell him what he cold do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 i dont think he planned for anyone else to have accounts there but the moderators, but im not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xs1 Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 i dont think he planned for anyone else to have accounts there but the moderators, but im not sure... yea but the "comments" part should be allowed by all . He just needs to adjust the settings to allow everyone to be able to comment,. and not just registered users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted May 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 well yeah the comments invites people anyone not only MOD to post stuff about the particular news so it has to be taken in consideration which way does cable want to move with that personaly i think cable if possible i dunno about the implications should allow people to post comment maybe not at a 1st stage untill the news are all up and running smoothly but like many other sites its something good/extra feature to have do you guys thing cable should allow peopel to post comments or not what do u think?

php Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 if i had my copy of wordpress running i could probably help him... if he wanted me to anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 Commenting is already a feature in the news script. Ca3le just needs to adjust the permission settings to allow guests to post comments on the topic. Sorta like these forums have a feature to allow "Guests" OR "Registered users only" to post replies and topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just- Posted May 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 i didnt try yeah maybe u can creat is just that most people will not go to the trouble to register in 2 places in one web site seems a bit crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 is just that most people will not go to the trouble to register in 2 places in one web site seems a bit crazy so true. I know quite a few people that will not go to a site if they have to register... and registering for more then 1 thing is like pulling teeth.

cholla Posted May 8, 2005 CID Share Posted May 8, 2005 This is an easy solution .If you find something in the news section that you just have to comment on .Just bring it over to the regular forum.Either start a new topic or put it in the https://testmy.net/topic-4082 & see if anyone else has a comment on it.
