Post Comments

Overview

The Comments feature allows visitors to comment on your news posts. Comments can be moderated, edited, enabled or disabled.

 

Settings

Settings controlling the comments feature can be found on the News Settings page.

 

Settings are as follows

 

Comments Enabled

This can be used to turn the entire feature on and off.

 

Character Limit

This controls the number of characters required for a comment.

 

Moderate

This turns the moderation feature on and off. With moderation on (recommended), comments will not appear until they are approved by an admin.

 

Moderators

When moderation is enabled and a new comment is submitted, an email is sent to moderators to notify them that a comment needs to be reviewed. This field is used to designate the recipients of that email.

Moderating Comments

With the moderation option enabled (see above),  moderators will receive an email when a new comment is submitted:

 

Clicking the links at the bottom of the email will take you to your control panel to perform the corresponding action on the comment.

 

You can also access comments directly in the control panel under Modules > News > Post Comments.

Human Verification

To help prevent spam, you can enable human verification for comments. This is done by enabling the human verification feature, and checking Comments option to add it to the comments form. See the Human Verification topic more information
