Component body

The purpose of this module is to provide anonymous users a way to login (or just supply contact information) during the process of entering the comment. It works by opening a modal window with the authentication options once they Submit the comment. Once they are successfully identified, the comment will be submitted and attributed to the user.

One good reason to use this module is when you want your users to log in for posting comments, but you don't want to scare away anonymous users. It helps engage the users by having them type the comment, then dealing on the authentication right before posting.

To use

To enable this module, allow anonymous users to post comments and select "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information" on the node type comment settings (http://www.example.com/admin/content/node-type/story).

Whenever an anonymous user tries to post a comment, they will get the modal window requesting that they either login or enter the contact information.

Requirements

This module depends on Chaos tool suite and, of course, Drupal core Comments.
