3 ways to disable comments on individual entries in blojsom
I guess the problem I see with this approach to disable comments in Roller is that you could still construct the URL to the post and just submit the form items to the proper location. It's tough, but it can still be done. Or, I could be wrong?
A description of how to disable comments on individual entries in blojsom.
If comments are enabled on your blog, but you do not want to allow users to comment on an individual entry, you can do so by making that entry read-only. blojsom uses this to indicate whether or not it should allow users to comment on an entry. If a blog entry is writable, users may comment on that entry. Comments can also be disabled on individual entries throug the web administration interface. If you are adding or editing an entry, you can check a box to indicate that comments are not enabled on a single entry. Finally, if you are running the Meta plugin before the Comments plugin, you can add metadata to the entry to disable comments. The metadata key to disable comments would be specified as "meta-blog-entry-comments-disabled=y" in your blog entry. You would do this if you were not editing your blog through the web administration interface or you edit your blog entries from the command-line.The last approach provides a lot of flexibility for instances where you don't have the luxury of the administration interface. For say, e-mail to blog or AIM to blog (blojsim). I'm going to click the respective checkbox in the admin interface and disable comments on this entry. Trackbacks allowed.
