Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
I like to leave comment posting enabled for "anonymous" users, but I don't like the fact that the database structure doesn't allow for names or addesses attached to those.
This is a simple client-side (javascript based) patch that modifies the form for anonymous comment posters and forces them to enter a "name" and an address.
Upon checking, then the comment is modified as follows:
Name [address] wrote:
The original comment
It would be great if this was implemented server side (as it's not very safe done this way) but at least I can track down whoever posts comments on the site.
Given its client-side implementation, though, now people cannot preview their comments anymore.
It would be a great feature for 1.4 final (and shouldn't be a big change to implement it on the server side, just a couple of extra parameters to track in the tiny comment-posting workflow.
Attached is a patch against 1.4-DR4a, you can see it running on http://blossom.betaversion.org/~pier/
