Templates for CommentPlugin

See CommentPlugin: Customisation for help.

While this topic can be viewed as a topic, it is used by the CommentPlugin as a template file. The syntax is the same as used for the templates used for presentation in skins - see SkinTemplates. The important content in here is in the verbatim blocks. The rest of the topic is just comments.

See CommentPluginExamples to view rendered templates

Put your local templates into UserCommentsTemplate (create if it does not exist yet). Local templates defined in that topic will override templates defined below.

Template definitions

Note that the use of URLPARAM in the templates should be done in a way that prevents Cross Site Scripting attacks. The safest is to let URLPARAM encode the unsafe characters (default) but this prevents the user from entering Foswiki macros in the comment input fields. It is however safe to use encode="off" when the following rules are observed.

• The encode="off" option for URLPARAM is only used in this topic within verbatim tags to prevent this topic from being an XSS attack vector.
• The encode="off" option is only used in OUTPUT defs and never in the PROMPT.
