Composr for website commenting system?
Standard member
My hosting service, InMotion Hosting, provides Composr for use. Is Composr something that can be used to make a commenting system? By the way, for the moment that would be the only thing I'd be using it for.
Thank You

Composr's commenting system is tightly bound to the rest of Composr, so you'd need the whole site to be made in Composr, or at the very least the pages with commenting would need to be Composr pages.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

If you look at the website I've just remodeled, Sitesetis, you'll see it's fairly simple and basically I do all the coding from scratch. So the idea of switching it to a different "container" though no doubt appealing and helpful to some is not in my plan. But as I look at Composr maybe there is some future use it for in the future or perhaps as a standalone CMS for different sections.

I like the look and simplicity of Commentics. One question: Even if I'm using Disqus, if I try Commentics on a different page (one that doesn't have Disqus on it) to see how it works will that conflict somehow with Disqus? I don't think it would but asking just the same.

I wouldn't know the answer- I haven't used the programme before. Someone at the user forums should have an answer.
