8.1. Overview

Comments are an optional Perforce Chronicle feature that allows your web site's audience to provide feedback for the content they see. You can choose to:

allow or disallow comments individually for any content entry
require users to be logged in to comment
display or hide comments when the associated content entry is viewed
hide comments unless they are approved, or the user is authenticated
allow voting on comments
restrict voting to once per user per content entry, if voting is allowed

Authenticated users automatically have their userid associated with their comments. Unauthenticated users need to provide a name and optionally an email address, as well as successfully satisfy a CAPTCHA to prevent automated commenting. For both types of users, if their email address is registered at gravatar.com, their custom avatar graphic is displayed alongside their comment.

	The Comment Module Must Be Enabled
	The Comments module must be enabled to use the commenting features. Please refer to Section 19.3, “Enabling and Disabling Modules”.
