My goal/use-case : I have a
particular namespace with articles; I would like to
enable comments or notes from users on those articles, but
separate from the article itself.
What I have seen so far:
-
https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:discussion : can be limited to a given namespace, but (if I understand correctly - demo is borked), this adds a comment thread "on page" in the manner of a discussion forum. Our articles can be (and mostly are) quite long, and I don't want the comments "below" the article.
-
https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:talkpage : looks like it could do the job, but I can't see how this can be limited to a specified namespace ("wrapper" of some kind for sidebar's ~~TALKPAGE~~ ?).
-
https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:disqus : like "plugin:discussion", it adds the comments "on page", and besides adds the third-party system which ideally I would prefer to avoid.
-
https://www.dokuwiki.org/template:vector : but I'm commited (I'm afraid) to a tweaked version of the default template (using 2014-05-05a "Ponder Stibbons").
I've also read through these threads:
-

-
https://forum.dokuwiki.org/post/35082
-

So - none of these look quite ideal! Any guidance from the community on the simplest way to achieve my use-case described above? I live in hope!
