Roller Tip: Managing your Comments
I tend to get a few comments a week that I need to delete because a reader has double-posted or said something I don't care to have on my website. Up until today, it's been a pain to navigate the Roller UI and delete these comments. It's almost easier to do it through SQL. No longer - I added a "Delete Comments" link to my _day template that shows up right after the "Edit" link. I'm not using the showEntryPermaLink macro for permalinks because I prefer to show permalinks on their own page (keyed by the anchor parameter). So replace your logic to render your permalink with the following and you'll be able to delete comments easier too:
<a href="$baseURL/page/$userName?anchor=$entry.anchor"
title="Permanent link to this weblog entry"
class="entrypermalink">Permalink</a>
#if ($pageHelper.isUserAuthorizedToEdit())
[<a href="$pageHelper.getEntryEditUrl($entry)">Edit</a>]
[<a href="$ctxPath/comment.do?method=delete&entryid=$entry.Id">Delete Comments</a>]
#end
To be thorough, here is the contents of the showEntryPermaLink macro:
<a href="$baseURL/page/$userName/#formatDate($plainFormat $entry.PubTime )#$entry.Anchor"
title="Permanent link to this weblog entry"
class="entrypermalink">Permalink</a>
#if ($pageHelper.isUserAuthorizedToEdit())
[<a href="$pageHelper.getEntryEditUrl($entry)">Edit</a>]
#end
