Campsite: ArticleComments

Article Comments

Reader comments can be switched on and off for a whole publication, for a particular article type, or for each individual article. You can also take advantage of Campsite's management features to moderate (or bypass moderation for) comments from subscribers, or members of the general public.

Comment settings in the Publication List

To set the default comment setting at the publication level, go to Content on the main navigation menu, and then click Publications. In the Comments enabled column of the Publication List page which appears, publications in which readers can post comments are shown with a green light icon. Click on the Configure icon for the publication you wish to enable or disable comments for.

Configure publication comments

This action opens the Configure publication page. In the Comments section, there is a checkbox labeled Comments enabled? and a variety of options which enable you to fine-tune comment settings.

Comment settings for article types

Perhaps you want to enable comments for all articles of a particular type, for example blog, but not enable them for another type, such as news_article. Click Configure in the main navigation menu, and then click Article Types from the submenu. On the Article Types page which appears, clicking the red or green light icon in the Comments enabled? column toggles the setting for each article type.

After you click on a green light icon, you will be asked if you are sure you want to deactivate comments for that article type.

Comment settings for individual articles

Comments can be enabled or disabled for a number of individual articles at once, using the Article list page. Click Content on the main navigation menu, then use the submenus to navigate to the publication, issue and section that you require. In the Article list page that appears, use the checkboxes in the left side column to select the articles you want to enable or disable comments for. Then use the drop-down Actions menu and click on Toggle: 'Comments'.
