Uses 1.6 Updater?

• Yes

Developer

Andy Sharman

Due to a distinct lack of comments and a high demand for a comments extension for 1.6 which can provide functionality which rivals that of jComments I have created a simple but easily extended comments component+module+plugin combination.

This enables you to use the comments module with non-content frontend pages, and the content plugin for content related pages.

Security Release RC3

New Features RC2

- Added JComments import feature - this is early beta. Do not use on live websites.
- Added basic support for [code][/code] and [quote][/quote]
- Change the way the data is affiliated to content to make it easier to hook into other components such as K2
- User login restrictions - can now only show comments or allow comment submissions to registered users.
