Forum:Displaying parent comment's title on the reply page

Thank you for the suggestion!

We are building a simple commenting system in which a user can reply to a comment. On the form page for replying, I would like to display the title of the parent comment. For this, I provide parent comment id to the form page through query string so that parent’s title can be extracted using a query and then displayed. However, on the form page, I am not able to use/display the parent comment id outside the “for template” where the parent id can only be seen inside its form box.

So, I think of passing parent comment’s title through query string if no other alternate is available, but I am still afraid that the title will have to be displayed inside a form box.

Being new to wiki/smw, I cannot think of better options. Can someone please share any other better option(s)?

Thanks in advance!

 * Are you talking about blog comments or basic talk page comments? -- 11:59, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is a custom commenting system using Semantic MediaWiki. 14:50, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, can you link to it? Not sure how I'd help you without knowing your custom system... -- 14:50, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that it is on Intranet, but it is about a simple commenting system as I described. So, could you please give a try once more with what I described? I appreciate it! 14:50, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
