Feature Request: Comment System

[maidis]

I'm not sure, but it seems CMlyst doesn't have a built-in comment system. If I understand it correctly, one can integrate a third party comment system to pages and blog posts with the help of the allowComments variable.

However, in some cases, some users may not want to sign up for another service only to leave a simple comment.

I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement an built-in comment system, but it would be great if we had it.

If we document the missing features and how they can be done, we may use them when Cutelyst joins GSoC or similar organizations in the future.

Status in other CMSes

• Ghost: no built-in comment system
• Blogger: has a built-in comment system and support for Google+ comments
• WordPress: it seems it has a built-in comment system

Well it's usually a simple thing:

• create the Sql table
• add code for adding comments to that table
• create a page for comments approval
• integrate with a captcha system

Currently I have no time to work on this feature.
