I want to have visitor's comments on every page. I have chosen to use https://www.htmlcommentbox.com/ because it's free and doesn't require visitors to login. The instructions say that I should paste this code:  <div id="HCB_comment_box"><a href="http://www.htmlcommentbox.com">HTML Comment Box</a> is loading comments...</div> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.htmlcommentbox.com/static/skins/bootstrap/twitter-bootstrap.css?v=0" /> <script type="text/javascript" id="hcb"> /**/ </script>  However... Is there a way that I can just paste the code in one place and have it automatically appear at the bottom of every site page? When pasting the code onto individual pages, the commenter after commenting sees their comment duplicated 8 or 9 times! (Refreshing the page resolves the issue, but it would be great not to have confused visitors seeing weird stuff happen). Is there a way to get this done? Or can you please recommend a better way of getting comments on pages? Very many thanks!

john Hi there! You can paste that code into the Items Header variable in the shared settings to add it to the bottom of every page right before the closing body tag.

This doesn't seem to work. The settings are not retained in the Items Header even after saving them. Any thoughts?

Mena Hi there, do you define the header items in different places? In case you set a variable value on a page the global value will be ignored.

mad Hello! I only placed the code in the General Data and Files > Default Template Settings > Items Header. What do you think?

Mena That is correct. In case it doesn't work on a certain page there might be already a value set for the Items Header variable on that page that has to be removed first.

I tried everything with various of comment services. It doesn't work. When I save the changes the code suddenly disappears from the General Data and Files > Default Template Settings > Items Header. It is frustrating.

Mena Hi Mena, sorry to see that you have issues with this. It is difficult to tell what is causing that problem without further details. It is technically very straight forward and should behave like any other kind of content. Could you provide an example of what do you want to add to the Items Header ? And just to understand correctly, the variable is empty after saving and reloading?

Mena I have no experience, with this, but i found this comments service https://posativ.org/isso/ maybe this can solve your problem?

mad I tried to implement this:  <div id="HCB_comment_box"><a href="http://www.htmlcommentbox.com">Comment Form</a> is loading comments...</div> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://www.htmlcommentbox.com/static/skins/bootstrap/twitter-bootstrap.css?v=0" /> <script type="text/javascript" id="hcb"> /**/ </script>  Yes, the variable is empty after saving and reloading.

ctuxboy I will surely take a look at this.

john I am glad that you provide these awesome solutions. I will use it too.

john

Mena Oh! I'm glad that's helpful for you too!

Mena Hi, can you check if you get that error on all pages?

Mena

mad No, I am not getting that error to all pages. Plus, some functions work as they should like in-page save, upload images, etc.

SOME template settings never worked for me.

Mena Can you elaborate what functions are not working for you?
