Komments

The Komments plugin is here to make it easy to receive and show responses on your website. Those can be comments or Webmentions.

The plugin can receive responses either via a comment form directly on your site or by Webmention hooks, sent by the IndieConnector plugin. It stores those responses and enables you, to show comments or Webmentions or both on your pages.

The new data format introduced in Version 3 allows you to handle responses like you would handle pages. Everything is a collection or structure. You can filter by fields, use field methods like kirbytext() and have all the flexibility Kirby is known for.

Easy installation

Simply install the plugin, tell Komments where to store your responses, add the provided Snippets to your templates (and maybe style them) – done.

The plugin is built to get you started with nearly no configuration to do. Of course, it comes with plenty of options and features you can configure to your liking. But you don't have to.

Easy to use Snippets

Komments comes with plenty of snippets you can use to show comments and/or Webmentions. Those snippets are ready to work without any further configuration. Add them to your pages and you're ready to go.

The snippets are not styled, but their structure is clean and simple to make it easy adapting them to your design. They also use slots, so you can easily customize them.

Panel moderation view

The new moderation view in the panel is built the Kirby way. It's built to give you a fast and clean overview of pending comments. This new moderation view now not only available as a separate view, you can also add it to your page blueprints to not only see pending comments, but all the others too - even Webmention if you like. You can even customize the data shown by setting some simple options in your blueprints.
