This extension is a work in progress

This CKAN extension allows you to add comments to various things in CKAN (datasets, related items etc)so that users can, well, comment on things.

Set up this extension's database tables using a paster command. (Ensure your CKAN pyenv is still activated, run the command from src/ckanext-comments, alter the --config option to point to your site config file)::

$ paster initdb --config=../ckan/development.ini

ckanext-comments has several configuration options that should be set to allow for your required behaviour # enable email notifications of new/flagged comments ckan.comments.email = True # comment administrator to get emails ckan.comments.admin = admin@example.com # Whether comments should be threaded or not (default: false) ckan.comments.threaded = true/false

# Whether, only a user's first comment must be moderated  (default: true)
# otherwise ALL comments are moderated.
ckan.comments.moderation.first_only = true/false

# Text for comments that have children and are deleted
ckan.comments.deleted.text = This comment has been deleted

# For spam checking to work, the following two fields must be provided
mollom.public.key = The Mollom public key
mollom.private.key = The Mollom private key.

To run the tests you should run the following command in the ckanext-comments directory (or use --plugin=comments).

nosetests --ckan --reset-db --with-pylons=test-core.ini ckanext.comments
