Re: Getting comments working

hi steve! your intuition is right. if you're using check_javascript, you need 
to add this bit of javascript to your comment-form template:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
document.getElementById("secretTokenInput").value = "$blog_title";
</script>

it's in comment-form.html, which comes with the contrib pack:

http://pyblosxom.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pyblosxom/trunk/contrib/plugins/comments/flavours/comment-form.html?revision=981&view=markup

but it should also be in the check_javascript.py file comment. i'll add it.

if that doesn't work, try moving akismet.py and check_javascript.py out of 
your plugins dir temporarily to check that your comments aren't being filtered 
as spam. you can also set log_level in your config.py to debug, try to 
comment, and see if the log file shows anything interesting.
