I couldn't find anything in the documentation -

Does this module support registered Drupal users?
Will comments made by registered users be "linked" to them, the way the regular comments are? (So a list of comments can be shown on the user profile, user points can be awarded, etc.)?

No, this module doesn't support the binding of Drupal accounts (registered drupal users) and JS-Kit accounts.

As I understand from the JS-Kit Echo Feature List (Using your existing login system / Account binding) such a feature is only supported by JS-Kit Echo if you purchase a JS-Kit Echo Partner license.

I do not have a JS-Kit Echo Partner license, so if I develop this feature I'am unable to test it. But if anyone is willing to realize this feature, then I will be more than happy to integrate it in this module.

I hope this answers your question.

I had a Partner License and needed this functionality. The attached patch adds an External Profile Binding section to admin/settings/jskitcomments path as well as some small changes to the .module and .js files. Anyone who wants to use it will need to communicate with js-kit to get a secret key and agree on the URL structure of their user identifiers. Afterwards, login options can be restricted from within the settings on http://js-kit.com/settings. Unfortunately, at the moment they only let you add in some instruction text for the login instead of a hook or link, but it may change soon.

Of course, it will be hard for anyone without a partner account to review the patch, but I tried to write it so that it won't affect any existing functionality.

Whoops, patch didn't include a new file (jskitcomments.epb.inc). Attached zip includes new file and the updates.

Thank you Greg for contributing the patch I will integrate the patch into the module.

I have applied the patch #5 and #6 to the module and commited it with some modifications to CVS head.

I needed to fix the behaviour for the case that EPB was disabled. I also moved the EPB settings in the administration page one level up.

Greg, can you confirm that EPB feature in the version in the CVS head of this module functions correctly?
