Mixing comments with entries

    Hi Guys,

    I’m building a site with a lot of user-input. People are allowed to add “quotes” to the website with their picture (after approval obviously). I thought I’d just use a comment-form for this. Now my client wants to do something a little more complex. I’ll get an x amount of comments, but want to add a random channel-entry to these comments. So you’d get 11 comments from users, and 1 from the site-owner (which has s’more fields then a regular comment).

    Is this possible? What would be ways to go about this?

    Thanks!

    Sounds like it might be easier to just allow the site-owner to comment like everyone else and simply display it differently (based on user-group). Otherwise creating a chain of channel-entries may get really difficult to understand when moderating.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Thanks for the reply. I’ve stumbled across SafeCracker on EEinsider, which sort of seems to do what I’d like it. Now pinging solspace for some background-info on FBC vs SAEF.
