I have to create web site with option to comment or feedback for readers. what is the best approach , because I don't need to stright display the comment , i need webmaster to approve or reject comments, to stop abuse the website.
I think one way to go would be to use the Contour package ( http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour ) to create the comment form. The posted info can then be managed in the back-end by the admins, and you could put a flag in there to allow the admin to approve or reject the comment. Then, on the front-end, you only display the comments that have the flag set to approved.
Do I need to create document type for hold comment , so when visitor commented i can create instance of that document type and add to page or put in a folder with page id saved as property. when admin approved mark it as approve and read from xslt to list them bottom of the page?
If you want to do it all yourself, I think what you describe is indeed the easiest way of doing.
You actually can do without an extra "approve" flag: you could just create an unpublished comment, and when your admin approves a comment, he just needs to publish it. Then in your xslt you just have to make sure you only display published comments.

Hi Pat,
I think one way to go would be to use the Contour package ( http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour ) to create the comment form.

Hope this helps you get started.
