Administration
To configure EZComments, go to the admin panel, select EZComments, and then select modify configuration.
The options under this heading affect the look of EZComments.
EZComments ships with different template sets. These sets define how EZComments looks like. After initialisation, the default template set is "Plain", which gives a very basic interface oriented on the old comments module. "Plain" works together with the "Threaded" set, which provides the same look, but in a threaded way.
Other Template sets include a forum-like look (pnForum) and some table based sets (AllOnOnePage etc.)
If this option is checked, unregistered users can provide their name, their mail address and their URL (if they have the right to comment at all).
This checkbox determines if the IP address of the commenter will be logged.
This number does not affect the number of comments visible to the users, but the number of comments on the moderation page for administrators.
You can enable paged comments, so your pages don't get cluttered when you expect a lot of comments.
If the pager is enabled, you can set the number of comments to show to the user here.
EZComments can notify the administrator of a site about new comments. This might be useful to control if spam or other unwanted content is posted to EZComments.
If enabled, the administrator is notified on all new comments
If enabled, the administrator is notified on Comments that should be moderated (see the next option)
EZComments can hold back comments and let the administrator decide if the comment should be published or not. This process is called moderation.
This option enables to hold back comments based on the following decisions
If this option is enabled, no comment is published directly, but all comments must be accepted by the administrator.
Exactly what it tells. If the user already had an approved comment before, he is no longer moderated.
Allow the user to post only a certain amount of links. This option is to prevent spam. A link is identified by the existence of "http://" in the comment
You can enter a list of words (one word per line) to trigger moderation. If any of the words is found in a comment, the comment is held back to be accepted by the administrator.
If a comment contains a word from this list (one word per line), it is deleted immediately.
If a comment is entered via an insecure proxy, it is deleted immediately. This option uses the Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor List.
EZComments is able to provide a news feed of the latest comments in RSS or ATOM format. This feed is available at the URL http://www.example.com/index.php?module=EZComments&func=feed. You can set the defaults here:
Select if you want to show a RSS or an ATOM feed
The number of comments to show in the feed.
The defaults set here can be overwritten in the URL using the feedtype and feedcount parameters. To show 20 comments in an atom feed, you would use http://www.example.com/index.php?module=EZComments&func=feed&feedtype=atom&feedcount=20.
The first page of the administration shows the comments in chronological order. You can delete<or edit comments from here,
If you delete a module for which you had comments enabled, the comments remain in the database. You can erase them with this function.
