Thread: Adding comments to other pages

Hi

Whilst there are customer reviews for products. Is there a way in StoreFront where comments can be added by registered customers, say for example news pages?

Not out of the box, no. That probably wouldn't be too hard to implement (you could actually just mimic a lot of our rating logic) but it would be custom and require some DB changes. You'll want to be careful how you do that, to make upgrading easier in the future. Put your new stuff in separate tables if at all possible.

It might take a little work (and some template swapping) but you could try and implement the recently release Google Sidewiki webelement on pages where you want to enable commenting:

Note, I haven't tried this yet but it is billed as being a simple way to add commenting to just about any page. One obvious downside is that the comments are drawn client-side so you won't actually have the comments on your site, at least not as far as search engine spiders are concerned.

Good luck!
