Thoughts on a Hack

Posted in Thoughts Etc., To Do List at 9:30 pm by Chris

Well, it’s about 24 hours (give or take) into my WordPress 2 installation, and I have to say that I still love it way more than I did that older version. :) That said, I’ve already come up with something that I’d like to add to the software. (Those end-users are a picky lot aren’t they? You give them this great new software package to work with, and they still aren’t satisfied.) ;)

I’m thinking that it would be great if it were possible to allow for comments on a Page. Right now, Pages are completely separate from the rest of the blog, so there’s no possibility of users commenting on an article or policy or whatever that you may have posted. (I’m presently using a Page for an article I’ve written about getting PHP5 installed as a CGI handler. However, there’s no way for users to add comments to that article to expand on the knowledgeset that’s there.)

I admit that I haven’t got the foggiest clue how I’m going to make this happen yet; only that I would like to. Thus, this idea is very likely going to be a while in coming along. (Unless, of course, someone beats me to it and writes a plugin for this feature.)

We shall have to see how this pans out. I will have to do a little reading up on WordPress’s plugin options and what I’d have to do to make this happen. (Could be interesting.)
