I'd like to put a commenting system on my website. I have Disqus at the moment but considering some of the changes they're going through, comments on their server, etc., I'd like something that I have more control over.

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

Daniel
 

Hi Daniel,

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.

You can check Commentics. I haven't used it before and it seems it doesn't have a user management system.

To Chris and enelson, thank you for replying.

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.
