Commenting problems

Vote 0 Votes

I am using MT 4.25 and the Community Blog and reCaptcha for protection against robot commenting.

Two problems:

1. The comment Form is popping up but what I want is a link that provies the number of comments and clicking that link opens or closes the form

2. reCaptcha appears on the Comment Form for the first Entry but not subsequent entries.

I am very new to blogging let alone working and designing with MT so I would appreciate if details are not skipped.

  • Regarding...

    1) Are you comfortable writing your own JavaScript? That's what'll have to be done to modify this behavior because MT doesn't control your blog's behavior once it's published (aside from republishing on comments, etc.)

    2) You may actually find that it's better to just skip using a captcha altogether. The script writers are getting increasingly good at breaking captchas, and in my experience TypePad anti-spam is more than enough to catch and kill comment and trackback spam before it gets far. It's like Akismet for WordPress only better.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
