From FirstMagic 1.4.0 on, Commenting Modes are no longer part of FM Preferences; they are now stand-alone Widgets. FirstMagic ships with two different Widget Modules for commenting:
- [1] Comment - the native FirstMagic Commenting system
- [2] Facebook Comments
You can activate these by dragging them from the Widgets Library into your SiteWidgets folder in Ensemble; both Widgets will enable your visitors to post comments on your pages.
Initially, comments will be allowed everywhere, but you can disable comments on individual pages by setting the FirstClass Properties Form for each page in question to Read Only. You can also configure each Widget to display on particular pages only [in the Widget Form].
Comments will not be rendered on System Pages [automatically generated pages] - only on pages you create yourself. System Pages are:
- Searches and Search Forms
- Contact Form and FormBuilder Forms
- Regular Calendars
- The Sitemap
If the Native FirstMagic Widget or the Facebook Comments Widget do not suit your purposes, you can use the Widgets Toolkit to install a third-party Commenting System of your choice.
