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)

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

to You might want to push that into the public release. ~Fern --67.121.127.113 17:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC)


 * 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)
