New module: FrontendComments - A comment module with a lot of features based on FrontendForms

[Juergen]

This module is a remake of Ryan's classic Comments module, but uses its own code and is based on the FrontendForms module. This is the third module in the "Frontend" series, alongside the FrontendContact and FrontendLoginRegister modules.

To use this module, FrontendForms must be installed. Otherwise, it won't work! If you don't have this module installed yet, please download and install it first!

This module

• has a large amount of configuration settings
• supports pagination
• supports UiKit3, Boostrap 5 and Pico 2 CSS frameworks out of the box
• and a lot more

The download link as well as many more images and the documentation for this module can be found on Github.

Please note: This is the first version in an early alpha stage, so using it on live sites is not recommended.

This module should be available in the module directory eventually, but it still needs a lot of testing. If you discover any issues or have ideas for improving the module, please post them here in the forum or directly on Github.

Happy testing!

Here is a live example of the comment module using UIKit 3 markup: https://www.schulfreund.at/nachhilfekurse/chemie-nachhilfe/

The problem is when I enter text with numbers in the "Name" field, the comment isn't added and it doesn't pass validation.

Hello @grewr11

Thanks for pointing out this issue. I have removed the sanitizer for names on the "Name" field, because usernames are allowed to have numbers in it. This was a thinking mistake. Now it should work as expected.

Please replace the following file to get it working: https://github.com/juergenweb/FrontendComments/blob/main/FrontendCommentForm.php

I have discovered another issue, with WireMail and localhost, so please replace the following file too: https://github.com/juergenweb/FrontendComments/blob/main/Notifications.php

You will find all information about the changes in the changelog.md.

I haven't worked on this module in a long time, so there could be more problems. Please report any problems, I will try to solve them as soon as possible.
