Posting Comments in UCM

I have a website built in Site Studio and based on content from UCM and would like to add the functionality to users to be able to comment on certain content items. This can be done easily within the content server by using the "Create Discussion". This in turn opens a page with a subject text box and another text box for the actual comments. Can this be translated onto a published website? Has anyone ever done something similar? Can it be done via site studio editor maybe?
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks

No I only have the default actions in the menu, both on the original content as well as the discussion (_D). Must be something not properly set up then. Furthermore to this, in order to post comments you have to be in contribution mode. Even the posted comments are only visible when in contribution mode. Is this a product limitation whereby only contributors can post comments or is it because we have incorrectly set up the product? We want all public users to be able to view the comments and a selective few to be able to post, without them being contributors. That's the whole point of comments, even guests can post and view.

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

How can you post comments during signal aquisition?

How can you post comments during signal aquisition? For example, while acquiring your signal, you want to post a comment which the temperature reads at "30 seconds" from your relative start time (t=34 sec into recording)
I have the LE package where events, alarms, etc cannot be used. Are there other ways that the user can mark an "event" during recording?

Hey hkim,
If you know how long it will be before you want a message to pop up you can simply include a sequence structure and in the first sequence have a wait time of your desired length and have the message pop up and display in the second sequence frame.
Hope This Helps,

"Submission status" error while posting comments using evcom

Hi friends,
I am getting "Submission status" error while posting comments using evcom. This error comes up even when we use "post comments" option in Action Pane.
The error text goes like this :
Error Message -
This cell can not be updated. Submission status must be modified to allow changes.
010_000|2009.TOTAL|INTERCO|NOPC
How can we get rid of this error?

That's means the status for that specific category, time entity is approved and you can not do any changes including
comments chnages.
You have to change first the work status for that entity and after that you will be able to submit your comments.
Regards
Sorin radulescu

Can't post comments to pages

When anybody (including myself) tries to leave a comment, an error message simply says "Sorry. We are unable to process your request at this time." Is this a Mobileme thing again?

I don't understand why this worked, but it did. Through Apple support, I was instructed to disable the Ariel font in my applications folder. I had to erase all the comments (that were in Ariel) and retype them into the blog (I couldn't copy and paste for some reason). I made sure the ADD COMMENTS line was at the end of the blog, and made sure the box was checked in the inspector function. I then saved all the retyped comments (in a different font) and deleted the original Ariel font comments, published to mobileme, and the post comments function now works. Here are the instructions I followed:
Symptoms
The iWeb 1.1 update adds comment support for blogs and podcasts (MobileMe published sites only). Depending on which font and templates you use, the "Add Comment" link may not function correctly in your published blog entries.
If you experience this issue, instead of an Add Comments link at the bottom of your blog entry, you may see a non-functional link that reads @post or @comment.
Products Affected
iLife, .Mac/iWeb website hosting, MobileMe
Resolution
Update to iWeb 1.1.1 or later and republish any pages which use Arial fonts. If you're not able to update immediately, you can use the following steps:
Open Font Book, located in your Applications folder.
Disable the Arial Family of fonts in your User collection. For more info see Turning off fonts.
In iWeb, create a new blog or podcast to replace the old one.
If you have content in the old blog that you wish to keep, cut and paste it into new entries in the new blog or podcast.
Delete the old blog or podcast from the Site Organizer.
Publish your site.
If you do not create new blogs after disabling the fonts in your user collection, you may see "Missing Font" error messages when you open iWeb.
Note: Mac OS X installs fonts in /Library/Fonts, including Arial fonts. Some software packages install fonts on your computer when you install or first launch an application. Those fonts will typically be installed in ~/Library/Fonts.

Can't post comments to Blog after MobileMe push

My blog will not allow anyone to post comments now, since the MobileMe migration. When you click "add comment" it brings up the MobileMe migration page with info on MobileMe. I believe that I have set up everything necessary on my computer for MobileMe, so how do I get the blog to quit directing to this page? I have two autistic children, and I use this blog for their therapists to post comments about their daily therapy sessions - I really need to get this fixed QUICK! Also, when publishing the blog, I get an error message at the very end - "error publishing" - but everything is visible like it published successfully. Thanks for any help.

It is not just the Blogs, my Photos pages won't allow comments either. I just started with iWeb a couple of weeks ago and it took me a while to discover that the comments feature was not working. Made me feel kind of foolish, I had asked some friends to check out my site and then was a little perturbed that they hadn't posted any comments.
I would hate to try setting up on another site as I like the basic simplicity of iWeb.
Does anybody know of anything else as easy to use? I'm in the trial period and if this doesn't get fixed I definitely will not be continuing.

Can't post comments to Blog site

Since .Mac switched to Me.com, I cannot see comments on my blog site.
I can post/publish to the site from iWeb and others have said they can post comments (using Firefox, but not Safari). But when I go to view the comments, I get an error message:
# Exception: TypeError
# Message : Value undefined (result of expression postLinks.forEach) is not object.
# File : Comments.js, Line:138
I have not done anything differently in how I'm publishing the page.
I am using Safari 3.1.2 to view the site.
I am using iWeb '08 2.0.4 to publish the site.
I have also tried to use Firefox (3.0.1) to see the comments, and get this error message:
# Exception: TypeError
# Message : postLinks.forEach is not a function
I can see the comments if I open iWeb and read down the page. I cannot post comments using iWeb though.
Any ideas?

I am having problems posting comments and writing blogs on Yahoo Pulse. Their tech support says that the problem is with my Firefox server. How do I resolve this issue?

I get error messages when posting comments to my friends pages, cannot edit blogs without getting errors and cannot add new friends to my page.

Firefox isn't your "server" or your ISP. Contact whoever you pay for internet access - Comcast, AT&T, Net-Zero, etc.

I am unable to post comments to links on Facebook. This is a recent problem. I can do it with Internet Explorer

All of a sudden, I can no longer post comments on Facebook. I get a dialogue box and type my comments. But when I hit enter, nothing happens. I opened Internet Explorer and the feature works properly. I have, in the past, been able to post on Firefox.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/25085868#25085868
I started a thread in safari maverics, I ment to put it in iOS Safari. New Thread lists all the steps I've taken. No I haven't tried another browser. I've only ever used Safari on my iDevices.

I cannot post comments on YouTube with Firefox anymore, but can on IE. Intermitant problem, some videos I can post to.

The comment box is grayed out on many, but not all videos. The problem is only on FireFox; I can go to the same videos on IE and have no problem posting comments. I have Windows 7 home premium, service pack 1, 64 bit. The problem is new, has been working properly till a few days ago. I refreshed Firefox to default settings, been through Youtube help menus, and Firefox help.

I tried restarting Firefox in Safe mode and then went and commented on a video and whalla it actually worked.... so then I thaught it must be a plugin problem.
I disabled all my plugins then re-enabled them one after the other until whalla I found the culprit!
The error is in the DownloadHelper 4.9.14 Extension Plugin, hope the Authors of this plugin are reading this, it is causing users commenting and posting errors in Youtube and needs to be patched!
Hope this helps others!

Suddenly unable to post comments on iWeb blog - image verification error

People suddenly can't post comments to my blog page (web.me.com/stannerory). I've tried this myself, and posting continuously fails at the image verification process, one receives an error message that says the letters entered don't match the image, yet they do. Someone suggested that cutting the comment, closing, reopening, and pasting, and doing the process a second time would work, but I haven't found this to be successful either. Is there some kind of a workaround? Anyone else having this issue?

OT -
Thanks for your efforts.
It seems to be intermittent now, which is an improvement. I still can't add or remove a comment without fail. It's some consolation that it might be a server issue, but if it were, wouldn't there be all kinds of unhappy Apple users complaining about the issue, AND wouldn't the mobileMe website have some kind of problem indicator light flashing? Of course it would.

Why can't I post comments on (blogger) blogs that I follow?

I am a blogger and I follow several blogs. A big part of the blogging community is commenting and sharing. Every time I try to comment on my Macbook Pro (or iPhone or iPad) the comments won't post. When I click publish or preview and it refreshes the text box is blank. Why?

I believe I did an update and the problem is resolved. (I am honestly not sure what changed from this morning but I am able to post comments.) Sorry for the troubles.

Sharepoint Blog Post & Comments Export

I have a blog with some posts and each post having some comments. I am moving the post & Comment list from the site to a subsite using Content & Structure.
The Post & Comment lists are moved successfully but in the subsite it shows 0 comments for all the posts. In other words the comment list has been moved but it has lost its link to the Post list.
Can you please suggest how to rectify this

Got the Solution...
When You move the Comment list to the Subsite, the Title Post Column becomes Null, this is the column which actually conencts both the post & the comment list.
Solution : Open the comment list in Edit Datasheet view Change the Post Title Column for all the comments. It will be a drop down populated based on the Post title Just Select and Save the sheet and now check the Bog all the comments will be linked to the
post.

Why am I unable to post comments from FF. I can do it from IE, but it takes ages. Virus etc. checked.

Two problems:
1. I am unable to post comments from FF, but I can do it from IE,
though it takes ages with IE. Checked for Virus etc. with McAfee,
ZoneAlarm and Spybot. FF versions 4 later changed to 12. Both
do not allow - just keeps waiting (tried up to about 1 hour). It
started about a month ago.
2. I am unable to attach .pdf files from FF in Yahoo Mail. It works
from IE - though it takes ages (script?).
I am using 'NO Script' from FF - but for most cases I have to
go to 'partially allowed' mode.
Thanks
SB

(1) As instructed I went to 'run' and typed in the code. It took me to 'xuowtwd1.default' folder under 'Profiles'. There were several files stored there and
I did not know what to do. Next...
(2). As suggested I went to 'troubleshooting Information' under 'Help' drop down list.
(3). Followed instructions, but could not find the 'Reset Profile' button.
(4). It said the instructions were not for my version (V12) of FF.
(5). Downloaded V. 14.0.1
(6). Will not install. As mentioned earlier I am using Windows 2000 (p.s.initial
complaint)
