[geeklog-devel] Deleting comments

[Vincent Furia]

Well,

I think I'm done.  Attached is the new documentation for Plugin
Comment Engine.  Note the missing code examples.  I was hoping to work
with Blaine, Tom, or one of the other plugin developers that use
comments to get the examples done (and to make sure that the new API
is reasonable).

Note that comment.php passes on requests to delete and save comments
to the plugin which then must call CMT_deleteComment or
CMT_saveComment respectively.  That way plugins can do any
pre-save/delete checks and post-save/delete processing that they want.

Besides the major changes to the comment API, I have also refactored
the code in comment.php and consolidated comment related code in
system/lib-comment.php.  A code review would be welcome, but at the
least some strenuous testing is required.  Here is a list of files
that I ended up touching:

public_html/comment.php
public_html/article.php
public_html/layout/professional/comment/commentbar.thtml
public_html/layout/professional/comment/thread.thtml
public_html/lib-common.php
system/lib-comment.php
system/lib-plugins.php

I'll repeat.  Please test this out a bit.  I've done a lot of testing,
but the changes are pretty significant.

Thanks,
Vinny
