So, I may have mentioned this before but didn't actually explain. You can pretty easily get the muut commenting system to work with TiddlyWiki, even on tiddlyspot. This means that, with some important restrictions, you can have a public comment section embedded in a tiddlywiki on tiddlyspot. I have a demo on the wiki reference wiki <http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com/#muut%20Comments%20Demo> and a dedicated demo site <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlyWiki-muut/> (read the problems below before saying it doesn't work). I am going to take down the one on the wiki reference wiki because I really don't like having unmoderated comments on my site and muut follows the model of freedom of speech that says that freedom of speech means you have to let people come into your space and say whatever they want, this is the model used my trolls and I am going to stop before I get into a long winded rant about it. The demo site will stay up and I will probably ignore any comments put there.
If you want to use this on your wiki it must be online, this won't work if you are using a wiki stored locally because of how local files and things online don't play well together in browsers. So local testing won't work. First import this tiddler <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TiddlyWiki-muut/#Muut%20JavaScript> into your wiki, it has the script needed to embed the comments. Then you have to go over to muut <https://muut.com/> and make an account. After you have made an account (and at some point during account creation) you will have the option to copy code needed to embed a forum or comments into your site. Copy the code and paste the 'a' tag part into your wiki where you want the comments to be. Now the problems: muut uses javascript in the same way that twitter does on [[my other site|http://ooktech.com/jed/externalbrain/#Twitter%20Integration]], the difference is that twitter has a function that automatically checks to see if it needs to reload a script to properly display the buttons and other features, so far I haven't found an equivalent thing for muut. I am not particularly motivated to care at the moment so if you care you should probably look into either finding or making something to do that. A javascript daemon isn't hard to make in tiddlywiki and could probably do what is needed. Because of the above problems, for the demos you need to open the sites using a permalink to the tiddler with the comments, and you will probably have to reload the page after you have loaded it once (with the tiddlers permalink both times) for the comments to load and display properly. Make sure you try this before reporting any problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
