Extension talk:Comments

Not Working.
I've just installed this in my PC at the localhost, e looks like that it works, but I can't send any comments.

Any ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 189.38.206.71 (talk • contribs) 03:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This might sound ridiculous, but it vaguely sounds like the same silly problem I just had. I'm assuming you mean the button and forms are there but won't do anything. If you happened to have manually downloaded each file, make sure that Comment.js wasn't saved as Comment.js.txt!! -81.147.29.227 02:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

not working in 1.170

 * I found a fix for it in 1.17 by changing a line in the extension's Comment.js:

 * The reason why it probably didn't work was because ResourceLoader messed things up. I've updated the code and now it should be RL-compatible (and it requires MediaWiki 1.18). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:40, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Spam Prevention
Hello before I attempt to install this extension I would like to know if there's any protection against spammers besides administrators going through and deleting each comment. As an example like akismet on wordpress? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 175.239.223.175 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 22 November 2011‎ (UTC)


 * While there are various anti-spam extensions out there, some of which (like ConfirmEdit and SimpleAntiSpam, for example) are used on Wikimedia wikis, Comments currently doesn't support these. However, seeing that ContactPage extension supports ConfirmEdit CAPTCHAs, I believe that it might be relatively easy to add ConfirmEdit support to Comments. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:40, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks for the reply. Thing about captha is that its not very effective these days. I know this a long shot but possible to implement akismet - http://akismet.com/development/  ? Thing works beautifully at least on wordpress! --175.239.243.165 21:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki Version 1.18.1 - Delete Comment did not work / Comments of the day
I just test "Comments" - was easy to install but i found 2 "bugs" in my enviroment:

1. The "Delete Comment" Link did not work. i set the rights in LocalSettings.php and have the link at the comments (if i logged in) - but the link ist "red". If i click the link, the page is reloading - but the comment isn't delete. I take a look in the scripts - but i did not find why. I try 3 different Webbrowser (IE / Firefox / Chrome) but is all the same

2. The "Comments of the day" did not work - i think the reason is that i have so social network plugin. i removed the line 94 and 95 and it will work (at this line the script ry to get the avatar and the image of the avatar
 * i have same problem too. i delete this from my database--Hamed.n (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki 1.18.1
I can not delete the comments once inserted. All other functionality seems to be working just fine.
