Hello all
I just released a new plugin for the devel version of DokuWiki, the Discussion Plugin. It replaces some components of the popular Blog Plugin (discussion and gravatar), but no longer requires the template modifications that were neccessary for the Blog Plugin and also no longer uses parallel discussion pages. It makes use of the new action plugin API and uses .comments metadata files.
The main new features are:
* hierarchical comments for replies to comments
* more styling possibilities for comments thanks to CSS
* on-page administration of comments (edit, remove, toogle visibility)
* notification of subscribers when a comment is added
* new threads component lists pages with recently added comments
Caution 1: This plugin is not compatible with the Blog Plugin as it replaces some of its components. I'm working on a new version of all components of the Blog Plugin. If you need blog functionality and date archives you better wait until I release the new Blog Plugin.
Caution 2: There is currently no converter to turn the old-style discussion pages into new .comment metafiles. But this is definitly on my to-do list.
