Website form...

talfighel · 07-18-2009, 09:46 AM

I see a lot of people have some sort of a form on their website which allows others to enter their own comments to that article on that specific website.

It shows something like this:

Leave a Reply

Name

Email

Website

Comment box

Submit comment

Does anyone know where I can get a code like this to post on my website and article pages so that people can participate in the discussion??

Now, I have NO IDEA whatsoever how to do this. By the way, I am using the hosting company Host4Profit and need a specific STEP-BY-STEP instructions.

Thanks,

Tal

What type of site do you have? If you are using Wordpress, your blog will have a working comment form out of the box.

I do all the editing myself. There needs to be some sort of a code I can use to add to my website.

talfighel,

Giving step-by-step instructions on the easiest way to meet your needs is tough without understanding the underlying structure of your site, hosting platform, and long-term plan for site growth.

It looks like you have a lot of static or semi-static content on your site. (Meaning it's not all pulled from a database.) If you want to stick with your current site, you'll most likely need some custom programming done that links the comment system into each page / article where you want it to work.

If you want to do that yourself, search Google for something like this: comment system php

You'll be able to pull up some tutorials to create what you need.

Another option would be to convert to some sort of Content Management System (CMS) that has commenting built in. This would be more work up front, but make for easier management later.

Commonly used free ones, in terms of ease of use, are Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla. All of these are open source software so if you need to hire a programmer later to add functionality, they'd be able to do so.

There are some universal comment plugins that can be added to any website, whether or not it's running on a blog platform or CMS. You don't have to convert your site to use these. Probably the best known is Disqus.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
It is very much simple. If you know little progamming then it will also be much fruitfull to you.
Use Dream weaver/Frontpage any version.

Then in insert menu insert Form
Then add your contols like Text Box, Lable, ComboBox. The submit button will be there default.

Now go to code windows and make like code
<form method="POST" action=mailto:abc@abc.com>

It will submit the form in your mail box.

Or you could also use some of the free guestbook scripts?
That would achieve the same thing without too much bother.

In my opinion if you are new to programming use pre-made scripts or better yet just get wordpress
