FAQ about Comments
| 1. | I have installed the widget, but I do not see anything. |
If you have followed the instructions, your HTML page has the comments code embedded in it. You should be able to immediately see the "Leave a comment" message on that page when you publish it on your web server and access it with a browser. The comments will not be visible if you access a page located on your computer. |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | Why do I receive an email for every comment post? |
You are receiving e-mail notifications of all new comments in a thread, because you have specified your e-mail address in the "Send replies to email" field in the comments form. To stop receiving new comments in the thread, follow the instructions provided at the bottom of e-mail notification messages. |
| 3. | When does the site administrator receive email notifications of new comments? |
When a new comment is posted, the site administrator and all subscribers receive e-mail notifications. If a comment is automatically marked as spam or junk by the anti-spam Akismet engine, the notifications are not sent. |
| 4. | How do I delete a comment? |
Comment authors can delete their comments only. The site administrators can delete any comment. To delete a comment on a page of your site, visit that page and click on the word "delete" next to it. The comment will be deleted immediately. This action is immediate, ruthless and irreversible! |
| 5. | How do I get rid of spam comments on my site? |
JS-Kit utilizes complementary anti-spam protection provided by Akismet, the leading spam blocking system for bloggers. Site administrator can train the system by tagging messages as spam. To remove spam comments from your site, go to the "Controls" panel in any commenting form on the site and click on the "Moderate comments" link. This will take you to the "Moderation" sub-section of "Your Settings" at JS-Kit. The "Moderation" section lists all newly posted comments. To mark a comment as spam, click on "block" next to the comment and then click on the "Spam/Junk" button. The comment will disappear from the list and from your site, and the anti-spam system will be notified that such comments should be considered spam in the future. Note: Training the anti-spam system this way will not always provide immediate result. You may have to mark the unwanted comments as spam multiple times for the system to recognize the future occurrences of similar unwanted messages. For immediate result, use IP blocking capability. |
| 6. | How do I translate the Comments form to a different language? |
JS-Kit automatically detects the primary language of a browser used to access your site and serves the widget in that language. The following languages are supported as of now: English, Japanese, Portugese and Russian. |
| 7. | How do I display the total number of comments posted at a specific path? |
Add the following code to a page where you would like the comment counter to be displayed:
(<span class="js-kit-comments-count" path="/stories/article1">0</span> Comments) (<span class="js-kit-comments-count" path="/stories/article2">0</span> Comments) (<span class="js-kit-comments-count" path="/stories/article3">0</span> Comments) <script src="http://js-kit.com/comments-count.js"></script> |
| 8. | How do I change the font, color and size of my comments box? |
You can change the comments' look by using CSS after the <SCRIPT> tag. For example, the following code changes the color of a "Leave a comment" string to red:
<style>.js-commentControl a{ color: #FF0000; }</style>
The next example adds a solid border around the Karma (aka "Like this comment?") block:
<style>.js-singleCommentKarma { border:1px solid; }</style>
In the following example we will customize the width of the comments box:
<style> .js-CreateComment { width: 250px; } .js-CreateComment input { width: 200px; } .js-CreateComment textarea { width: 200px; } </style> For further details on customizing your comments form see sections Using CSS to style and Customization templates of the Customization page. |
| 9. | How do I disable the "[reply]" functionality? |
You can disable the "[reply]" functionality by hiding the .js-singleCommentReplyable class style using the following CSS code:
<style>.js-singleCommentReplyable{ display:none; }</style>
|
| 10. | How do I disable "Like this comment?" functionality? |
You can disable Karma functionality (the "Like this comment?" question) by hiding the .js-singleCommentKarma class style using the following CSS code:
<style>.js-singleCommentKarma{ display:none; }</style>

| 15. | What is "comment synchronization" and how does it work? |
Live comment synchronizaiton is a mechanism which instantly exports new JS-Kit-driven comments into your blog's internal comments database. This tool provides greater peace of mind to bloggers who want to try JS-Kit for a while and be able to return back to built-in comments without loosing their visitors' valuable feedback. Having all your comments at hand not only provides an additional back up of comments, but also brings you a possibility to reuse and mash your JS-Kit comments. Comment synchronization is currently available for WordPress-driven blogs and blogs hosted on Blogger.com. |
