This topic describes how to require registration for adding comments to blogs.

The necessary settings include extending the Telerik.Cms.Engine.WebControls.CommentsList class. Here are some guidelines on how to do that:

1. In the class that will extend the CommentsList class, add an event handler and subscribe to the SubmitButton command in the CreateChildControls overridden method:

   CreateChildControls	Copy Code
   this.Container.SubmitButton.Command += new CommandEventHandler(MySubmitButton_Command);

    

2. In this event handler, check whether the user is authenticated:

   Event Handler	Copy Code
   if (!this.Request.IsAuthenticated) {   // this line will make the base event handler do nothing and skip the registration of the comment   this.ParentID = Guid.Empty;   }

   
    

3. Modify the Blogs ContentViewSingleItem.ascx public control template to use the custom class that extends CommentsList instead of the old CommentsList custom control.
