Importing comments from other components

The ability to import comments from other components greatly simplifies the process of switching to the JComments comment component. Currently, importing comments from 16 different components is supported.

Configuring access rights

In the JComments control panel, you can configure access rights to the component's functions for each of the existing user groups (including unregistered ones).

For example, you can disable spambot protection for authorized users, leaving it only for site guests, and from BBCode tags, for authorized users, allow only basic ones (I, B, S, U), allow tags for inserting links and images to users with Author rights and higher. Thus, the rights settings section will allow you to manage user access to certain functions.

Integrating comments into other components

JComments supports the ability to integrate comments into any other Joomla extension.
