ShareBook

ShareBook is a document with kupu (WYSIWYG editor) integrated and extended to
place comment spots where the editor of the document likes. The viewer of the
sharebook can leave comments at the comment spots. This is much like backtalk,
except the comment spots need to be edited in and thus are configurable. It is
based on Archetypes and uses a customised field (sharebook) and a
customised widget (kupuWidget). Kupu also has been extended to provide the
comment insertion functionality.

Comment Mechanism
 
  The comment mechanism is working. The comment mechanism is to work as follows.

  1) kupu has been extended to add a comment button that adds a comment form anywhere
in the document.
  2) In view mode this comment form can be seen/hidden. A comment can be typed in. Once
submitted it is processed. Comments can be seen/hidden
  3) the comment processing code (sb_script) is connected to the sharebook_view form. It takes the comment
and places it into the document as a comment before the comment form that created the comment.
  4) feedback is working.


To Do

1) check css template integration
2) add commenter's name and date/time to comments record this info within sharebook?
3) when copied, record contributors/ authors/ etc
