FIXME - this chapter needs some serious work.

8.1. Summary

PyBlosxom does not come with comments functionality built-in. Instead, comments are implemented as a plugin which people who are interested in in having comments can install and everyone else can ignore.

You can get the comments plugin via a couple of different methods:

  1. You can get it in a contributed plugins pack. These are on the download section of our web-site. Check here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=67445&package_id=145140

    This is probably the best and easiest way to get the comments plugin.

  2. You can ask on the pyblosxom-users mailing list to see if anyone has a version of the comments plugin that meets your specific needs.

  3. You can get it via CVS--there are instructions on the project page of our web-site. Check here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pyblosxom/pyblosxom/contrib/plugins/comments/
