comments with isso

[vxda]

Hi, im starting kind of a social website, and im looking for a good way to enable comments on my site.
i need comments to be editable, deletable for admin, and also for user within 10 minutes after posting it.

Users can replay to other comments, and comments are also avaible to guests (posting anonymous).

I was searching for a good tool to do this and i found this http://posativ.org/isso/.
Thing is that im begginer with php, and i get confused after reading 1st line of instalation guide.

Did any one did this before and can help me aout a bit ? or is there any other good solution for comments that u recommend.

Cheers.

There is a comment system as part of ProcessWire

Or you can also use system like Disqus - they have a simple snippet that you can add to your templates, if I remember right.

That's because this is written in Python, and not PHP

Did you consider Disqus and alikes? http://explorerhub.com/blog/disqus-intensedebate-alternatives/

If you want self hosted and PHP there's this one https://github.com/jacobwb/hashover

The introduction post he links to is quite old, but it seems that they are preparing something new here https://github.com/jacobwb/hashover-next

Thx for replay, Im considering disqus aswell, but i dont want users have to register with the site and then with disqus to post comments.
Is PW comments system allow users to reply to their comments ? like facebook comments system can ?

About facebook comments ... i cant use it since i want anonymous comments to be avaible.

The PW system is a proper commenting system.

The advantage of something like Disqus is that they dont have to register with the site or with Disqus as they can use their twitter, facebook (and a couple of other) logins.

About PW comments, i would love to use it, but i need to have nested comments, is this is possible to do?

About Disqus, i will have register/login with facebook button on my site. I dont want users to register multiple times.

Are there other reasons they need to register with your site? 

You can see the way I use discus on one of my WP sites here: http://www.pebblesthepuppy.co.uk/spring-is-springing/

On a new blog I am working on with PW I am not using comments at all in the traditional way - I don't want the hassel of moderation - so using the new systems with twitter, I will simply embed a twitter feed dedicated to the post. Twitter can have the moderation and spam issues rather than me!

On the PW comments system, it is not nested as it is, but there is no reason you could not change it so that it was, I would imagine. The comments are just pages with child parent relationships after all. (bit beyond my programming ability, though)

EDIT:

Just saw this:

I have used that PW comments reply version and it works quite nicely. Along with the comments manager module (http://modules.processwire.com/modules/process-latest-comments/) it works out to be pretty powerful. I guess the one thing we are missing is a comment rating/like system.

Awesome, thank you guys.

Yes, users will be able to create their own topics ( pages ).

I think i will go with PW comments, but will try disqus aswell. will see what will fit my needs better.

Ty again

It really depends how open you want it. Allowing completely anonymous posts can be a bad thing, so insisting that people have to at least have some level of registration, albeit through FB or Twitter, means at least you can sort of moderate against them.

It might also be worth looking at the Disqus API to see if you can add that into your registration system
