Comments

The Comments view offers a listing of all available comments and allows you to Edit, Publish/Unpublish, Delete and Clear votes (a comment with enough negative votes will be hidden). This simple view only offers the following details: Id, Comment, Reports, Author, Component, Date and Published.

Besides the comment details a component filter is also present. Basically, this will allow filtering the comments based on the page that they were posted on (the component that generated the page). A special option has been added to the com_content, com_k2 and com_flexicontent components. Upon selecting it from the filter drop-down, a Select article link will appear. This will allow to further extend the filter to a specific article.

Comments can be Marked as Spam (or as No Spam) either by selecting the comment (or comments) and clicking on the top buttons. Or, simply click on the right icon from the Spam column.

Clicking on the comment name will open up the actual comment information. Here you will be able to edit all its details: published, email, subject, website and comment message. Furthermore, the date, IP, votes and preview link is also displayed.

If the 'Enable Comment History' option is enabled from the configuration area, you will notice a top button named 'View Histroy'. By clicking on this button, you'll see the history of the user edits made to his comment, from the frontend area.

To further enhance the user experience, keeping the mouse over the author will display a quick info inside a tooltip: email, name, website and IP address.
