If you use genoa you should use the com4guests plugin linked 2 posts up. I used it in the past and works great.

As for SEO/spam, there is a rel="nofollow" in there. I'm thinking of adding a notification feature for guests (they get an email when there's a new comment).]]>

Kort As much as I like recaptcha, I would let my clients choose which one to use. That is what captcha manager is for (more details here: http://www.cotonti.com/docs/ru/misc/231 : the examples are pretty much self-explanatory).
comedit is comedit.
Leaving an email for a comment by a guest is basically about sending feedback (notifications to the guest about new comments / replies to his/her comment) rather than just recording them. Posting (autoposting) a backlink to the guest commenter website is a SEO/spam issue, so it brings in more troubles than benefits.
This is just a small explanation as of why com4guests couldn't have possibly worked for you. Unless you failed to run it, and then I would once again be glad to hear what the problem was.]]>

GHengeveld Adding extra columns to the DB really doesn't matter and was actually the only solution without having to rewrite SQL queries in the core (SELECT * will select the extra columns).

Sure there are other captcha systems, possibly better ones. Using reCAPTCHA was just the easiest and quickest solution. It's also more user friendly since it's used on many sites so people have seen it before. If you want something else you can just disable the reCAPTCHA and install something else. Didn't look at comedit (never really noticed it was in Cotonti by default).

Oh and please, next time someone tries to contribute something, be grateful instead of harassing him. I'm not just doing this because I have nothing else to do, people like to get credits for their work.]]>

Kort knowing and recording guest's email and website, in my opinion, does not outweigh the aforementioned.]]> Ma, 13 Sep 2010 03:58:24 -0000 GHengeveld com4guests plugin by esclkm. Because these two plugins are so alike, you should know about the differences and options of the two.

Open Comments allows your guests to post comments on your pages, just like registered users. The only difference is that guest have to provide an email address, and optionally a website address. This is similar to Wordpress. For security, the plugin can use reCAPTCHA. It also has the option to send an email to the administrator when a new guest comment is posted.

How's this different from com4guests?
- Open Comments only supports reCAPTCHA, while com4guests uses the captcha manager plugin so you can pick whichever captcha type you like. However, that does require some additional installation steps and configuration.
- Open Comments stores guest information (email/website) in the comments table. In order to do that it adds two columns to that table. com4guests doesn't store this information at all (just a name, no email or website).

Installation:
- Upload the plugin files
- Go to admin panel and install Open Comments
- If you want to use CAPTCHA, to to reCAPTCHA and register a site. Then go to the Open Comments configuration area and copy your reCAPTCHA keys there.
- Look at the plugin page in the adminpanel for the tags you need to add to comments.tpl

Example implementation:
<!-- BEGIN: COMMENTS_NEWCOMMENT -->
<form action="{COMMENTS_FORM_SEND}" method="post" name="newcomment">
<h5>Leave a reply:</h5>
<!-- BEGIN: GUEST -->
<p>Your name:<br/>{COMMENTS_FORM_NAME}</p>
<p>Email address:<br/>{COMMENTS_FORM_EMAIL}</p>
<p>Website:<br/>{COMMENTS_FORM_SITE}</p>
<p>{COMMENTS_FORM_CAPTCHA}</p>
<!-- END: GUEST -->
<p>Comment:<br/><textarea name="rtext" rows="5" cols="100">{PHP.rtext}</textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="{PHP.L.Submit}" /></p>
</form>
<!-- END: COMMENTS_NEWCOMMENT -->
