Member	esolutions - 8/13/2013 4:43:19 PM Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs Hi, this may be a stupid question but what is the difference between the disable property for the "Open comments for" option and unchecking the "Allow anonymous comments" option? They both seem to do the same thing and that is turn off the comments form.

RE:Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs

Hello,

Open comments for options specifies a time period for which the blog comments are open for users:
-1;Always
0;Disable
1;1 day
2;2 days
5;5 days
... etc.

while Allow anonymous comments is just a true/false value which defines if anonymous (not logged-in) users are allowed to comment blog posts.

Member	esolutions - 8/14/2013 2:26:28 PM RE:Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs Okay thanks! One more question...in the corporate site is using the comment view web part. In the web part properties the "enable user pictures" is enabled. but in the blog there is nowhere to upload a user picture. How would this property be used?

RE:Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs

Hi,

I think that Web Parts documentation could be helpful for you in many more cases.

Simply find the Web Part you want to use, e.g. CommentView properties. Where you will find the description:

Enable user pictures: Indicates if user picture ("avatar") should be displayed if it's specified for the comment author.

So user must have Avatar selected in his profile.

You can see the Avatar picture also in example blog of Corporate site under Community/Blogs/Andrew-Jones-Blog/March-2011/Expanding-to-Europe.aspx ... avatar is shown for user Andrew Jones who has already avatar associated with his profile.

Best Regards,

RE:Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs

Hi, Thanks! I did read the web part documentation but didn't connect that when it mentioned "avatar" that it was connected with the user profile.
One more question, in the CMS.Blogpost document type there is a property called "Log on-line marketing activity". I searched the developers guide for this term and came up with "Indicates if page‑related on‑line marketing activities (e.g. Page visit, Landing page or Content rating activity types) should be logged for this document." Would "page visit" mean "page views" under Content in the Web Analytics? If not where would this be tracked and doesn't analytics specifically state that hit comes from a blog?


Member	Swainy - 8/16/2013 9:30:06 AM RE:Open Comments vs Allow Anonymous Comments in Blogs Hi, Logging online marketing activities is specifically if you have the EMS license. This then logs the activity on a user/contact level, which means that you can not only see a page view/visit has happened but see exactly which user/contact (by cookies) has performed that action. Thanks, Matt
