Rather than writing my own from scratch, I tried Jcomment.
It did work EXACTLY as promised, and I did like a lot about it. I do have a few problems with this.
1) This needs to be simple module or component to install. Not a module and component.
2) This should grab the CSS from the template being used, to match the website. Rather than having to alter CSS created in the media folder.
3) Advertising. I had a REAL problem with this. I wasn't paying attention and installed this, to find the ads caused this to be BLOCKED by my company network. I didn't see them till I looked at my site using a text based browser (lynx).
For something simple and off the shelf that you don't care how this looks or about ads, this is fine.
Hi there!
You are actually referring to version 4.0 alpha3 and not 3.26 :)
I don't understand your first suggestion. Why should this be either a simple module or component? There is a module and component. The component is out there to be able to post comments and the module is to show additional information. This is the way joomla works.
2) This is very difficult. Most of the time the users have problems, because of joomlacomment's template grabbing css from the joomla template. And I actually don't get it - where is the problem with having its own css files?
3) The ads caused what to be blocked by your company network? This is experimental feature and is not going to work the same way it did in alpha3. And I have to admit, that it was not very user friendly how implemented - changed with beta1.
Finally, I'm open to suggestions. Please use the forum at compojoom.com to give us some additional feedback!
