First a word of caution:
rmcommon is in alfa and should NOT be used in a production site. This tutorial is just for testing.

With that said, let's get to the tutorial.

There are 2 parts; one goes into your php file and another into your smarty template. Let's start with the php part.

PHP
open the index.php file of your module and insert this code:
//get all comments for this article/item
    
RMFunctions::get_comments('tutorial','post='.$post);
    
// Comments form
    
RMFunctions::comments_form('tutorial''post='.$post'module''');


The first line gets all comments for this item. It's a function that needs 2 vars:
'tutorial' -> this is the name of your module
'post='.$post -> this is the ID of the item. Look at the url for your module. you will probably have something like this:
http://mysite/modules/myModule/index.php?mid=8

In this case you could write your comment code as this:
//get all comments for this article/item
    
RMFunctions::get_comments('myModule','post='.$_GET['mid']);
    
// Comments form
    
RMFunctions::comments_form('myModule''post='.$_GET['mid'], 'module''');


Mind you this isn't the original code from mywords. If you want to further study this, here it is:
// Comments
// When use the common utilities comments system you can choose between
// use of Common Utilities templates or use your own templates
// We will use MyWords included templates
if ($post->getVar('comstatus')){
    
RMFunctions::get_comments('mywords','post='.$post->id());
    
// Comments form
    
RMFunctions::comments_form('mywords''post='.$post->id(), 'module'MW_PATH.'/class/mywordscontroller.php');
}


SMARTY
Now the smarty part. Open your smarty template and place this code at the bottom:
<!-- Start Comments -->
<
a name="comments"></a>
<{include 
file="db:rmc_comments_display.html"}>
<{include 
file="db:rmc_comments_form.html"}>
<!-- /
End comments -->


That's it! Simple don't you think?

deka87: you only need rmcommon. A demo sounds like a good ideia.

1. what happened if you are a logged in as a registered user..do we have to input the name/email/website field ?


if no, is the username in the comment linked to xoops standard profile ?


2. how to disable email/website input

demian: No, just the text field. Yes it's then linked to your username.
Website isn't mandatory. However you can't disable email (for anonymous users) otherwise you will have other problems, such as an anonymous user using someone else name. The email is kept confidential and is used by rmcommon as a salt to verify the name against it's email......I think....
