On this site the user is presented with a call to action that is centre screen and easy to understand. Please try it yourself and give me your feedback.
(note: I think the text I’ve used could be improved. If any usability-biased-copywriters want to give me some tips I’m all ears!)
I’ve implemented the solution using the gaw_if_comment_preview plugin:
<txp:comments_error />
<div id="cmntform">
<txp:gaw_if_comment_preview>
<div class="cmntpreview">
<h1>Here is your comment:</h1>
<div class="previewtext"><txp:comments_error /><txp:comments_preview wraptag="p" /></div>
<h1>To accept your comment, Please Click Submit:</h1>
<txp:comment_submit />
<br /><br /><p>To make changes, please click <a href="#cmntform">edit</a></p>
</div>
</txp:gaw_if_comment_preview>
<h2>Add Your Comment</h2>
//Then you can insert your regular comment input syntax here//
.cmntpreview {position:absolute; top:20px; background-color:#fff; width:690px; text-align:center; padding:20px; margin:auto; border:#000 6px solid; height:auto;}
.cmntpreview h1 {margin:20px 0; }
.cmntpreview .button {cursor:pointer; width:200px; position:absolute; right:240px;}
.cmntpreview p {margin:30px; }
.previewtext {text-align:left;}
.commentspreview

just wanted to see your how your comment preview solution works
2
testing your comment form!
edit: I like it! Nobody can miss that message!

That’s definitely a noticeable message! :-)
Just so you know, you can probably do the same thing with the built-in tag txp:if_comments_preview. That’s what I’m using on my own blog. If you’re using an older version of Txp, however, this may not be available.

textpattern forum thread is dropping me here.
test your nice comments preview.
Damn! is pretty comments form mechanism :D
6
Dang! In ie my comments are dropping off the side of the page!
7
Comments are sliding off to the left for IE.
Let’s see this little doozy in action then…

Kus, that commenting mechanism is pretty clean for sure.

Let me try your system out. It may help me with the layout of my own TXP-powered website.
14
Maybe I will use this on my site.
But first I must try it.
Cheers.

Would be better if there is even an option to have only submit button for those who want it.

@Andi
With a little source code trickery you can do just that (google it if you’re bothered).
This method is there for people who are happy to work within the (well-reasoned) preview-required constraint of the core txp build.

Comment Check after a code upgrade!
