Summary of features

Online interaction with users through comments, feedback and user communities can be very useful for web page developers. It can help in creating a community feeling and in building loyalty towards a web page or a brand. With this in mind, eZ Publish is setup with an enhanced feature for users to comment on website content.

eZ Comments is a response to customer requests for improved functionality, strengthening feedback, creating user communities and promoting user generated content. With this feature also comes a notification system, which allows users to be notified and alerted on comments posted on the content they commented earlier. The importance of interactive feedback between the users and readers of a web page and it's creators may not be underestimated, therefore eZ Comments can be a very handy tool.

Summary of features

eZ Comments introduces a number features which extend the functionality for commenting on content online. These features are the following:

  • the possibility of editing own & others comments
  • better anonymous users handling
  • improved control over subscriptions to follow comments via notifications
  • developer options regarding the comments form
  • administrator options for good access and restriction policies
  • administrator options for editing and deleting comments.
