Integrate with a commenting engine

Open sanand0 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's hard to add commenting on a Gramex page.

Describe the solution you'd like Integrate commento

Describe alternatives you've considered I looked at

The features we need are:

  • Users can add comments
  • Users can edit or delete their own comments
  • Multiple comment sections allowed per page
  • SSO: Integrated with Gramex auth
  • Self-hosted
  • Flexible UI
    • Embed at the bottom of a page
    • Pop-up against specific components
    • Embed as a sidebar / drawer
    • Customizable CSS
    • OPTIONAL: Customizable display template
  • OPTIONAL: Visibility level for comments can be set by developer to Public, Logged-in or role-restricted
  • OPTIONAL: Voting / Likes
  • OPTIONAL: Threaded comments

Of these, only Commento features SSO. It also has most other features. The two missing features are customizable display template and visibility level for comments.

Additional context

Closing #5 in favor of this issue.

@jaidevd @bkamapantula -- your thoughts?

I tried to setup staticman for my personal blog this july, it was overly cumbersome and I couldn't complete it. I wouldn't recommend it.

discourse seems to have SSO, it works well as a forum but not sure as a commenting platform. ex: discussion on a blog post is directed to a different page.

commento seems to have the comments option on the page. we can try this out.

@sanand0 @bkamapantula Need some time to explore these options more. Traditionally I have been using disqus, but that doesn't meet many features we need.

For now, if discourse can be configured to not redirect to a new page, we should use it.
