Im using NukeWrapper to add HTML pages to my site. For example I have a simple HTML page with a picture and some text. Is there a way I can add the PN Comments to that page? like under all of my content, have the ability for users to comment on the page. does this make sence? Ive though of using topics and article, but its not quite what i want. is there some kind of code i could just add to the HTML page? any ideas is greatly appreciated.

The core comments module is old and doesn't support 'hooks', ie attaching it to other modules. That will change once it gets overhauled. It is possible to attach hooks to NukeWrapper, like ratings, but there's no suitable Commetns module I know of. There is one called EZForumComments, which uses PNphpBB2 to post comments which then also show up in a specific forum there. It required direct editing of one of its database tables to configure a module, and won't work with NukeWrapper as it requires the module to have certain data in the database. NukeWrapper gets its files directly from the filesystem.

You could try EZComments: http://lottasophie.sourceforge.net/

I'm unclear on whether it works as a hook, or what.

EZComments is the one to look at; This is the module that will provide comments in .8x. EZForumComments is based on EZComments. As long as nukewrapper makes the approapriate hook calls then EZComments will work.

awesome thanks for the help.. ill look nto EZComments... so what do you mean by hook calls? is that something based in the code of nukewrapper or do i have to code that with HTML?

Think of hooks like draperies hang on curtain rods... that is, a module like Sections would be the curtain rod and EZComments would be the drapery. Once EZComments is initialized and activated in the Modules admin of PN, you can then go to the Modules list, click Edit next to the module you want to "hook" EZComments onto, then click the "Enable EZComments" checkbox and save it. I hope my silly analogy makes sense. :)

Or, you could say that a hook is like an add-on for a module - an accessory, if you will. There are hooks for comments, smilies, Wiki, ratings, and other stuff too. You install the hook module, and then you can attach it to many other modules in admin -> modules -> edit (next to a module) and then pick the hook(s) you want.

So, yeah, what Wendell said.

My local version of NukeWrapper does call hooks, but the current uploaded version doesn't. I have to complete something else first today, then I'll update it. I've only tried EZForumComments, but I'll get EZComments to test. It sounds more appropriate in this case anyway. But it's Smarty-based so wonder if it'll clash with PN0.75. EZForumComments has a native pnRender version.
For the record, EZComments can be found here:
Lottasohpie

Edit: It works with the local version of NW on PN0.726. EZComments is still at version 0.2 Preview and not as polished as EZForumComments with a list of to-dos, and hasn't been updated since August last year, but works fine otherwise.

ok so im still not sure what i would have to do. nukewrapper doesnt show up as a module, so how would i get it to hook EZComments? and also, how would i get the comments to show up on my HTML page?

thanks so much for the help so far guys.

I'm also having trouble getting EZForumComments to hook onto Sections. I have it ticked in the Modules setup, but it's not showing comments.

PN v750, EzForumComments v0.1b1 - - - any ideas? Thx...

You need the Alpha module version:
NukeWrapper test module
The standalone script version is not a module, so doesn't show up in Modules, and you can't attach Hooks to it.
The above zip has both script and module, and once installed (hopefully the init file won't complain, had no time to test last version), both will work the same. The script now is called page.php. The module version works fine, but the admin functionality isn't in place, so the configuration is done by editing the file NukeWrapper.conf.php in the module directory. It's the same as in the standalone script.

You then install
EZComments if you haven't already. If you want smilie or bbcode support, it requires 2 separate hooks:
pn_bbsmile and Smilie hook which you get from this German PN site:
http://www.pnforum.de
Install and activate, then click Edit for NukeWrapper and activate the hooks for EZComments and the smilie and bbcode hooks.
EZComments come with several templates in the More_Templates dir, one of them (AllOnOnePageWithSmilies) shows smilies to click.
I find it's a little slow rendering the Comments here though.

EZComments works for PN726, not sure about PN75, since it uses Smarty as well, which may clash.

EZForumComments requires you to edit the database table ezcommentsmodinf as described in the documentation. It has a debug mode, enabled in pnuser.php:
$ezfcdebug=1;
It needs to know some details about the module's database tables, such as ID table, title table, and part of URL where the item id is found.

It's worth noting that EZComments is written by Jorg Napp whose also the author of pnRender so i'd be fairly sure it works..... The main problem with say postcalender is different versions of Smarty v1.x vs 2.x

thank you - I'll try this out and provide some feedback - looks like the obvious reason, though.

(duh - I should've read it more carefully )

using phpMyAdmin, i altered the EZcommentsmodinf table like this :

• modulname: Sections
  
• 
  
• titletable: seccont
  
• 
  
• titlevar: pn_title
  
• 
  
• pagevar: pn_artid
  
• 
  
• cutfrom: &artid=
  
• 
  
• urlstart: modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index
  
• 
  
• topid: pn_secid
  
• 
  
• topictable: [left blank]
  
• 
  
• topictable_topid: [left blank]
  
• 
  
• topictable_topictitle: [left blank]
  

Be sure to activate EZforumcomments in the Modules panel, and turn on EZComments for the Sections module, and all is working. Hope this helps someone else :D
