I want user feedback. this is needed for the evaluation.module where after some time the postign to nodes gets disabled. killes@www.drop.org Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 28 Aug 2004 19:37:40 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/comment_2.diff (701 bytes) If a user (for whatever reason) tries to post to a node which doesn't allow this, he currently doesn't get an error message. This patch fixes this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 05 Sep 2004 07:02:24 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org recategorizing to show up in the patch queue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 14 Sep 2004 02:42:24 +0000 : Steven I'm not 100% sure about this patch. We don't normally cater to inaccessible forms. I suppose the comment form is a candidate, when a moderator disables commenting on a (heated?) topic while people are still typing replies. But are there more probably situations like this out there? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 14 Sep 2004 06:37:17 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org As you mentioned the comment form isn't neccessarily inaccessible, the sending of the comment might become later. We should present a meaningfull message to the user in that case. I am developing a module where you can only comment for a limited amount of time, so no message is actually confusing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 14 Sep 2004 21:03:14 +0000 : Dries I don't think this needs fixing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 14 Sep 2004 21:17:08 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org I disagree. The user doesn't get a 403 or anything, just an empty "Post comment" page.Tha's bad usability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 14 Oct 2004 22:54:34 +0000 : drumm +1 Although it is a rare case, this is a really simple fix that might as well go in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 13 Mar 2005 21:02:44 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/comment_2_0.diff (723 bytes) Updated to cvs. Better wording. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 29 Mar 2005 10:22:05 +0000 : TDobes +1 from me too... although with one minor complaint: we want to say "post" rather than "posts" in the error message. Although this is a rare case, it is one users may sometimes encounter... and a total lack of feedback as we have now is bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 28 Jul 2005 15:49:13 +0000 : Steven There appears to be a similar message in core already now.
