Just testing a discuss bot for the JoomlaBoard forum component. A client asked if there was a way to comment on blogs using the forum instead of a blog comment system like akoComment special edition, such as this site uses. and if this works I won't have to write something to do it.

Here is what I see as the pros and cons of using the forum for blog and article comments:

Pros:
All threaded discussion for both articles and regular forum posts is consistent and in one place.

Cons:
I don't think the JoomlaBoard component has a captcha plugin (like the akoComment bot does), which is a must if you are going to allow anonymous posts, otherwise spambots will post all kind of porn advertisements as comments. So now to comment on a blog a user must be logged in. Need to check to see how easy it is to add captcha and anonymous posts to the forum.

Discuss this article on the forums. (1 posts)
