Question

I have a page that allows people to add items to an agenda list. I would like to be able to disable the commenting at a certain point and if necessary open it again. Is there a variable that I can add to the %Comment tag that can turn on and off the commenting capabilities?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I have not tried this, but an %IF{}% listing a conditional %COMMENT% based on a TWiki variable should work. See VarIF.

Peter's suggestion works for a simple %COMMENT%, but fails for %COMMENT% with attributes. For example:

%IF{"context authenticated" then='%COMMENT{type="above"}%'}%

results in the following partial content rendered into the response:

<div class="commentPlugin commentPluginPromptBox"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="middle"><td>&lt;textarea  rows="3" cols="70" name="comment" class="twikiInputField" wrap="soft" onfocus="if(this.value==
<p />
