Re: Use TetraBB to add comments to web pages?

Hi Alain.

: How did you achieve the page like the following?
: http://www.reitsportonline.de/community/pferde_blog.pl/page/1/md/read/id/1/

Using the "blogview" plugin what I've announced here
http://tetrabb.com/forum/WebBBS/index.cgi?md=read;id=9769
However, I never released the plugin to the public because nobody was interested in doing serious testing for his site (and could serve as a reference).

: In this case, has the "content" been created as the first
: message of a thread? What if it must have a special layout or
: include objects that cannot be part of a TetraBB message?

The idea is to create thread starting messages only from admin. And on admin side one can use the TinyMCE plugin which allows all sort of things.
Go to the demo section linked in main navbar to the left. There is a demo with the message form when using the TinyMCE plugin.
.... however, the TinyMCE plugin was not yet released. Too much work for too little benefit (users) :D

: Are the "comments" only the replies to the first message?

Yes.

: So that there is a way to display the first message very
: differently from the following replies (with a different CSS
: class)?

Yes. Actually it already IS (slightly) different

: Would it be possible to display the form to post a comment right at
: the bottom of the page, to simplify the process and look like a
: blog page with comments enabled?

...... wellllll.... not really a good idea.
Using a separate page for the postform is a major means to reduce unwanted posts by bots. One should never give up such a major defense line, thus I admit I've never tested if the form would show on the message display page.
