First native Joomla! 1.5 Commenting extension. Supports Captcha (secret word) extensions, Smileys, BBCodes, Avatars/Gravatars, WYSIWYG editor and many content plugins and tools, designed to work with Articles of Joomla! (e.g. Email Cloaking, GeSHi). (Read more on the Homepage) What's new in v.1.17.0: 1. Added "Auto close comments after specified number of days" option. Setting this option disables addition of new comments to the old articles, but it doesn't prevent registered users from correcting or updating their outdated information in old entries. 2. Added "Show 'Please register'" option (after many questions about how to do this...). If set to 'yes', yvComment shows message 'Please register or login to add your comments to this article' in article view, if addition of comments is allowed for this Article, but not allowed for this User. 3. Seven (!) new translations were added since previous release. What's new in v.1.16.0: 1. Added new value: 'Defined by Article template', - for the 'Position of comments' option. This new value is for people, creating their own templates for the Joomla! site, for those, who want to have full control of the places, where the HTML text of the yvComment plugin would be inserted. When this value is selected, yvComment plugin doesn't add itself its HTML text output to the predefined place of the page (e.g. it doesn't uppend its output to the text of the article). Instead, it creates new attribute of the article: 'comments', - and writes text, that it created, there. (The 'comments' attribute is not stored in the database) To place this text onto the page something like this should be added to the article's template (or frontpage, blog...): ... Please note, that in this case yvComment's templates should be also customized. E.g. you may want to delete additional DIVs around 'Add your comment' text to place it in line with 'Read more...' on the frontpage. You may also decide do not have yvComment for some view of your content... 2. Added 'Author mentioned by' option with two values: 'Name' (default) and 'Username'. Now you may see Username of the Author of comment (or Article) in addition to the 'Name'. Both Name and Username are taken from 'User details' (see Joomla!'s "User Manager"). Please note, that currently Joomla! core can show 'Name' only for the Author of the Article, so this feature is ahead of the Joomla!'s core. 3. Added 'Category for comments' parameter, allowing for Category IDs (categories of Articles to be commented) to be included or excluded (in addition to the Section IDs, that were earlier).
