Comments

Supports commenting on published content. The widget displays comments submitted by site visitors and provides the user interface components needed for:

• Posting new comments on an article

• Replying to posted comments

• Submitting complaints about posted comments

The Comments widget is very flexible. It supports:

• Both a flat comment structure (in which only comments on the original article are supported) and a threaded structure (in which visitors are also allowed to directly reply to comments).

• Pagination of comments, with a user-definable page size.

• Optional moderation of comments.

• Optional anonymous comments.

• Optional CAPTCHA tests to prevent the automated submission of comments.

• You can comment using facebook also

The Comments widget depends on the Escenic Content Engine's Forum plug-in: it will not work unless this plug-in is installed. In addition, it has the following configuration requirements:

• Your publication's content-types resource must contain one "forum" content type and one "posting" content type.

• Your publication must have two active forums: one with moderation enabled, and the other with moderation disabled.

• You must set the following section parameters in the root section of your publication:

              comments.unmoderated.forumId =
              unmoderated-forum-id
              comments.moderated.forumId =
              moderated-forum-id
            

  where unmoderated-forum-id and moderated-forum-id are the IDs of the forums you have set up.

For information about Forum content types, see the Escenic Content Engine Forum Plug-in Guide . For a description of how to set section parameters, see the Escenic Content Engine Publication Administrator Guide .
