Add Comment Titles to MT4 Blogs

Comment Titles is a plugin for Movable Type that adds a "Title" field for comments. Commenters can (optionally) add a Title to their comment. Comment Titles can be viewed and edited from the admin interface.

Template Tags

Comment Titles provides one new template tag:

  • <MTCommentTitle> - This tag will display the the title for the comment in context. If the comment does not have a title, this tag will output nothing.

Requirements

  • MT 4.01+

Note: Due to a bug in MT 4.0 that I found while developing this plugin, Comment Titles will not work with 4.0. You need 4.01 (or newer).

Installation

  1. Download and extract the zip file. Upload the contents of the 'plugins' directory to the 'plugins' directory of your Movable Type installation.
  2. Add a "title" field to your comment form. If you are using the default MT4 templates, go to Design>Templates, then "Template Modules" from the right side of the page. Then choose the "Comment Form" template. You can place the field anywhere between the <form and </form> tags, but I recommend after the URL field. Below the "comment-form-url" div, add:

    <div id="comment-form-title">
    <label for="comment-title">Title</label>
    <input id="comment-title" name="title" size="30" value="<MTIf name="comment_preview_template"><$MTCommentTitle$></MTIf>" />
    </div>


  3. Next, display the Comment Title on your published page by adding the <MTCommentTitle> tag to your Entry (Individual Archive) template. If you are using the default MT4 templates, then go to Design>Templates, then "Template Modules" from the right side of the page. Then choose the "Comment Detail" template. You can decide where you want to display the title, but one option is to place it right before the comment body (before the comment-content div):

    <MTIfNonEmpty tag="MTCommentTitle"><div class="comment-content">
    <strong><$MTCommentTitle$></strong>
    </div></MTIfNonEmpty>

    Note that in the above example, I have used the MTIfNonEmpty tag. By doing so, the HTML for the title will only be displayed if a title exists for that comment. This avoids extra blank lines and other markup when comments don't have titles.


  4. Publish your entry pages and you are done.

Picking nits here... but,
the style ID "comment_form_title" should be added/grouped with "comment_form_email" ID's (and others) in the Base Theme style sheet, in order to maintain site style continuity.

Never said planting trees was a bad thing. Never said it wasn’t a cool thing to provide as a chatka. In fact, I think I said everybody wins. The global warming alarmists get their trees planted and become content in their belief that it will somehow help to cool the atmosphere. At some point the trees get cut down and harvested for their tannin and other parts to be sold to pharma
