Comments are saved in the table comment of the database.

CREATE TABLE `comment` (
`comment_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`node_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`locale` enum('en','fr') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'en',
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`edited` datetime NOT NULL,
`user_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`user_mail` VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`ip_address` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`text` text NOT NULL,
`confirmed` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
PRIMARY KEY (`comment_id`),
KEY `NODE` (`node_id`,`locale`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

comment_id is the identification number of a comment, the primary key of the table. node_id points to the node associated to the comment comment_id. locale gives the comment and the node language. created and edited register the date and the time of the creation and the last modification of a comment. user_id points to the user who has created the comment. If the comment was created by an anonymous visitor, user_id is 0. user_mail gives the email address of the author of the comment. user_mail is normally NULL if user_id isn't 0. ip_address writes down the IP address of the system which created the comment. text is the content of the comment. confirmed indicates whether the comment is confirmed. A comment is normally automatically confirmed when the author is identified or after a validation by email.

Pressing Edit updates the formatted comment. Pressing Validate saves the comment in the database and sends a notification email to the address defined by the paramater $webmaster in the file config.inc with the subject comment@sitename.net:

127.0.0.1 2018-09-05 00:07:32 1 en 4 /en/comments

Validation

To add a comment, in the default configuration, a visitor must be identified.

The link sends back to the identification back with a return to the original page.

To change the behavior of the comment input form, edit the block nodecomment.

nodecomment.php

function nodecomment($lang, $node_id, $node_user_id, $node_url, $nomore) {
$user_id=user_profile('id');
$is_moderator=user_has_role('moderator'); // $user_id == $node_user_id || user_has_role('moderator')
$now=time();
$message_maxlen=2000;
$with_validation=!$user_id;
$with_mail=$with_validation;
$with_captcha=false;

By default, $with_validation is set to false. Set this variable to !$user_id to activate the validation process if the visitor is not identified. IMPORTANT: The option $with_mail must be on if $with_validation is true. Set $with_captcha to true to ask the user to copy a verification code in order to screen attacks by robots. Note the parameter $message_maxlen which defines the maximum length of a comment.

When the option $with_mail is activated, the confirmation of a comment is completed with the input of an email address:

When the option $with_validation is activated, an email with the subject Your comment is sent to the specified address with an encrypted link to the action confirmcomment with the node number, the comment number and the locale of the comment as parameters.
