R – How to commenting be added to news articles in an existing Sharepoint 2007 news site

mosssharepoint

A client is asking to incorporate commenting on their news articles. They're using the Sharepoint news site template for their news publishing, etc. They want a simple commenting system, much like what is available on most blog engines, only they want it at the bottom of each news article.

I just thought I would ask around about an out of the box solution before I go quoting a custom dev solution. Thanks in advance!

I struggled with this a while back and the solution we found was to use a discussion borad list (out of the box) and we created a custom web part that we added to the page layout for news.

We had to do som trickery to add support for anonymous comments, but on the whole it works good and wasen't to much code.
