The comments page can immediately be accessed via:
http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~your-login-name/comments
Near the top of the file you will find the following self-documenting code:
/* If this comments page should only be posted to by people with Dartmouth IP addresses, leave this variable set equal to yes. This is probably appropriate for course accounts. If you want anybody to be able to post to this account, answer no */ $restrict_access_to_dartmouth = "yes"; /* or no */ /* If you want to receive a mail message when someone posts to your page, answer yes here. Otherwise answer no. For pages which get few posts, the yes option is the best since you don't have to check your comments pages regularly. If this is for a class account, you will have to decide how many messages it is likely to generate. */ $mail_to_maintainer = "yes"; /* or no */ if ( $mail_to_maintainer == "yes" ) { $mail_to_address = "john.q.maintainer@dartmouth.edu"; $mail_to_subject = "New comment posted"; }
You can edit this file as you see fit, choosing to archive or simply
remove (any inappropriate) comments. Note, this file either needs
global read/write permissions (rw-rw-rw-) or needs the webserver
(www-data for us) to be the group with (rw-rw----) permissions.
If this comments page is for a course account, make sure that at the end of the term you change the permissions to be rw-r--r-- via chmod 644 comments-made.html
