Dear Team,

Really appreciate your fast processing on questions.

I have a Question regarding blogs to comment on the blog. There are Your name,Email,Website and Comment fields to enter the comment. What I need I just want only comment field to enter the comment or I could customize the comment section and use the email, name and website url for which the user login with. I made an another login screen to login the user on the website.

Please provide me necessary details or any demo code so that I could do that.

 

Thanks

Rohit

Hi Rohit,

You need to replace the CommentsDetailsView. Please check this forum thread.

In your custom class that inherits from CommentsDetailsView you should override OnPreRender where you can access the controls from the template and set predefined values.
Here is a list with all public properties.

Dear Team,

I have created a usercontrol extensioncomment.ascx
 

<%

 

@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="extensioncomment.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.UserControls.extensioncomment" %>

 


Now what i have to do to customize the comment on blogs. I need to add a new class or paste the same code into the usercontrol by inheriting the CommentsDetailsView and where to register it. Can you specify what exactly need to do for achieving this.
i am using the trial version of sitefinity.

Hello Rohit,

Here are the steps you should follow

1. Create a class library
2. Create a custom class that inherits from Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.GenericContent.Web.UI.Views.CommentsDetailsView
3. Override LayoutTemplateName and set your custom template -ascx
4. The template should be build as a an embedded resource  in the class library
5. Use virtual path provider settings to register the template
6. Replace the default view with your custom as my screenshot shows.

Kind regards,
