Any donation$ would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm just wondering, are the comments posted to articles also indexed? Or will they be in future releases?
The comments are using "KEY `id` (`id`)" so if you want to consider that as "index"
Thanks for your feedback and I appreciated.
I installed the component and the plugin as well, published the plugin and voila, a working comment system.
No issues at all, working right out of the box.
The admin part has sufficient features to control the comment system.
Con: No integrated Captcha (unless i overlooked it).
However you can review comments before publishing and let only registered users make comments.
To get a site going I'll want public to comment but not bots and spammers, so I think a captcha is important.
The install is very simple. The simplicity of it might confuse people :)
Thanks for a great component.
It does have captcha but invisible one so your user don't have to be trouble with the captcha image but the invisible captcha will protect your comment from automate bots and spammers.
Thanks for your feedback!
I installed this component, went to set it up, and couldn't figure out how to activate it. It looked like the author doesn't speak english as a first language, because the directions didn't make much sense. After 30 minutes of testing, reading, headscratching, etc., I uninstalled this component.
You activate in two ways:
1. Via the post install instruction by editing your template
2. Install MosComBot and enable the mambot
If you are willing to give it another try and post any question you have at my support site: http://support.ongetc.com in my forum and I will be happy to answer any question you might have.
Thanks
But what a service! I went on the dev-forum for a minor lay-out detail and the developper gave me excellent, fast feedback with a new updated version. Very impressive... and if i look on the forum, i wasn't the first one!
Are you looking for a simple comment system and great support, than you want this extension!
Thabar,
I am glad that you find MosCom serve your need and thanks for your kind words.
KEep it up!
Thank you so much for your kind words and much appreciated!
in the back end, when i wanna go to the gonfiguration page, i get this:
Direct Access to this location is not allowed.
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): 48 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/admin17/public_html/joomla/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 169
[editor: snipped more]
and it happens on the main page of the site.
Would you provide more specific info regarding your install at my forum of my support site: http://support.ongetc.com and I will try to help you out to see whether I can help you to resolve the problem.
Thanks
Install was easy, quick change to index.php and template.ccs and it was working.
Sometimes people make something simple - clumsy and over complicated, this is just perfect.
Heck I even made a donation.

Lloyd,
Thanks for your nice review!
Please be sure to check out the latest version that I just release today.
Thanks
I modified the template code just like the post installer said to do. Most people that release a module have a README.TXT file yet this one was completely devoid of it. The creator's site is a mess to look through, too. It's full of links that are meaningless to everyone and it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
This is a pain in the... to work. It doesn't even work for me. I'm sorry about the low rating, but at least provide a DECENT FAQ for how to work the stupid errors in this module.
What error?
What change would you suggest so that you can find what you need?
My site is for me to keep track of my research on CMS and provide some support for people that use my add-ons.
Please specific and provide some constructive suggestion please.
The language file is base on the gloable $mosConfig_lang and is loaded when this file exist otherwise it should default to english.php. There is not a tranlation for Chinese so if you are using Chinese please consider do the translation for Chinese language and I will give you the credit for the translation file.
Please provide the specific in order for us to improve it!
Just say buggie does not help!
Thanks
After installing, I started testing the entire system. The layout of how the comments were shown wasn't exactly brilliant. It was somewhat hard to see who posted what. Mainly because there was nothing to seperate the comments and because the "posted by" text was below the comment itself.
After some searching I found where the output code was and edited it manually, effectively putting the "posted by" text above the comment itself, and putting every comment in a table with a backgroundcolor different to the sites backgroundcolor. It actually looks pretty neat now!
I also miss the option to completely remove the e-mail and homepage field from the comment form. Since the comments are only to be posted by registered users and that the big majority just does not have a homepage.
With the latest version you can customize the MosCom using css code.
I might consider adding a feature to let you turn off the email and homepage in the config setting.
Thanks
My goal with this component is to keep it simple and should be fit in well with your site and with the use of CSS you can tailor to fit your need.
Thanks
The developer seems pretty receptive to feature requests.
Severdia, thanks so much for your contribution on many css code to improve this component and I am really appreciated!
There should be NO email field visible to the user if the Joomla/Mambo administrator has simplified the commenting system (i.e., name > comment > finished!)
The CCS option is a plus, though I probably won't get around to using it. This component cannot rate higher until the author has tested and fixed all operations.
Bug do exist in software!
This bug has been fixed in the later version.
It would be helpful if you could report any bug at my site so I can be aware of this sooner.
Thanks
The latest version will let you turn on the comment form in MosComBot without needing to edit the template.
