Hello all.
I'm trying to setup a form on my comments pages on my blog so that I
can let readers post comments without having to go to the comment.g
page. This was easier in the old blogger, but the new one requires a
security token that's generated when we go to the comment.g page (I'm
guessing so, I even went thru' the generated html and found a hidden
field with it. )
My question is, can I generate the security token without having to
open up the comment.g page? Then all I'll have to do is make the form
point to comment.do and post the comment with other parameters (blog
id, post id). I already thought about making an ajax request to
comment.g and parsing off the security token, but that would be a
cheat, and would defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to do (ie- make
commenting faster for my readers).
(Besides, wouldn't ajaxing the comment.g page amount to a cross domain
ajax request? I don't want to do that either).
So yeah, is there a way to use the blogger data api to get a security
token whenever I open my comments page on blogspot?
No. You cannot get a security token without loading comments.g. There
is no workaround. This is on purpose.
