A reusable, embeddable comments component for the Elefant CMS.

To install, copy it into your apps folder and visit Tools > Comments in the Elefant admin toolbar.

To embed comments into a view template, simply include the following:

{! comments/embed?identifier=unique-identifier-here !}

If no identifier is provided, it will use the current page URL as the identifier for all comments made on that page.

To configure moderation options, visit Tools > Comments > Settings in Elefant.

You can also use this app as the comment mechanism for the blog app, simply set the comments setting in the blog app configuration as follows:

comments = comments/embed

You can implement notifications or any other action when a comment is posted by creating a custom handler and adding it to the [Hooks] section of the global conf/config.php file like this:

comments/add[] = myapp/hook/comments

The above line references a handler in the file apps/myapp/handlers/hook/comments.php, which receives a $data array with the following properties:

• id - The comment's unique ID
• identifier - The comment identifier from the embed code
• user - The ID of the user who made the comment
• name - The name of the user who made the comment
• status - 1 means published, 0 means awaiting moderation
• ts - The comment date/time in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format
• date - The comment date/time in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ format
• comment - The comment itself
