Simple Website Comments

Website Comments
This website component allows you to easily place a “comment block” on any page of your website.

Features:

* Allow users to post comments on any page of your website
* Really handy for PHP websites that don’t support comments
* Easy to setup and customise
* Works out of the box, comes with copy/paste examples
* Sends admin an email with a summary of the comment when a new comment is posted, links to approve / deny.
* SPAM prevention
* Can be styled using your own css
* Only one (1) single file to upload to your website!
* No database required! Easy to setup.
* Uses Gravatar’s (like themeforest) but you can turn them off
* Users can reply to comments, and they are displayed in a hierarchy.
* Optionally approve all comments before they go live
* Optionally notify users when their comment has been approved
* Subscribe to comments, users will receive an email every time a new comment is posted on that page.
* Automatically convert website links to clickable links
* Supports PHP4 , PHP5, or can be inserted using javascript on static HTML pages.
* Can be tweaked as much as you like if you know PHP
* Does not require JQuery or any external css / images, everything will work with the single php file
* You can of course style the comment box with external css, and use images as “submit” buttons and headings if you like, but that is totally optional.

Requirements:

* PHP4 of PHP5 hosting account
* Linux hosting account (have not tested on windows)
* PHP mail() command support by your hosting provider
* Know how to set folder permissions with FTP

Feel free to test it out and ask me any questions.

If you have troubles using this component, please contact me through my profile page. Include a link to the site you are trying to set them up on so I can see what the problem is.

If you enter your password into the script and nothing happens, copy and paste this code into widget-comments.php on a new line after the first <?php tag:

ini_set(“session.save_handler”, “files”);
session_save_path (getcwd() . ”/tmp/”);

then create a folder on your hosting account called tmp and set it’s permissions to “write”. PM me through my profile if you get stuck.
