World Table is a third party product that enables user comments on your site. A comment box will appear at the end of the asset. In order to use World Table, you must have an World Table and obtain a Site ID.
Setting up The World Table ID
All of the information for account and setup information is on World Table's site (for that information, Click Here). Obtain your World Table ID, then proceed.
NOTE: In order to be the author of a story, the name in The World Table needs to match the author in BLOX. If you are using bylines, and not authors ,you can view source and see that the World Table mega tag is for the author, and that's the author you need to add to The World Table set up.
The World Table has its own block that will display comments in two different ways.
Set Page Customizations
From the dropdown in the the upper left choose Design / Blocks.
- Double click to open and layout the Root URL for your site (Flex). If you want to allow World Table Commenting to only specific URLs, then perform these steps on those specific URLs.
- On the far right, expand Page Customizations.
- Navigate to Comments and expand it.
- Enable Comments: customization should be set to True.
- Commenting Mode: Select World Table. You may need to check the box to make this active before you can change it. Check the box next to the World Table ID field and enter the World Table ID that was created on the World Table site.
- World Table ID: Enter the ID generated for your World Table account.
- Save Changes and Reload Layout: When you're done, Save your changes.
