[Openinteract-dev] linking comments to news articles

[Andrew H. <hu...@ll...>]

Hello,
   I'm trying to get the comments package to work with the news package, so 
that I can have comments on the news stories on my OI site.  At the bottom 
of the news::news_detail template I've added the following:

[% OI.comp( 'show_comment_summary', object = news ) %]

[% PROCESS comments::comment_form_page( object = news ) %]

   That shows the comment form correctly, but it doesn't allow me to post 
comments.  The error I get is "Insufficient data supplied to fetch comments 
by object."  It doesn't appear to be getting the object information that it 
needs.  When I look at the post comments form in html, the hidden values at 
the bottom are:

<input type="hidden" name="class" value="">

<input type="hidden" name="object_id" value="">

Which I would assume is a problem :)  How am I calling the above template 
wrong?

Related to this, I've noticed (or I think I have ;) that lots of the 
templates are cached, so that when I make a change to the templates, 
sometimes I won't see it for a few requests.  I guess that's because the 
template it cached within each child request?  Is there any way around 
this?  I've thought about changing template_info->{cache_size} to 0, but 
was worried that that would make performance too slow to stand while 
messing around.  Any thoughts?  How do other people handle this?

Thanks for the input.
