Mamblog supports both AkoComment by Arthur Konze and the now obsolete ComboLITE/ComboMAX components by Phil Taylor. AkoComment Arthur Konze has created a very nice and feature rich comment component called AkoComment which is available at Mamboportal.com. After you have downloaded and installed AkoComment you need to set the "Main Operating Mode" in the AkoComment Settings to "Choose from settings below" and select your Mamblog section from the available sections. You will also have to change the Mamblog configuration setting "Comment system to use" under Settings to "AkoComment" to enable the comments in Mamblog. Also make sure that you allow comments to blog entries, either by setting "Allow Comments" under Default Values, or "Let users set if comments are allowed?" under Settings, to "Yes". ComboLITE/ComboMAX These components are now unavailable but are still supported for those who already have it installed. When you have installed ComboLITE/ComboMAX you will have to change the configuration setting "Comment system to use" to "ComboLITE or ComboMAX" and make sure that the Default value is to allow comments, or that users can set if they want comments allowed. Note that this has not been tested recently since these components have been discontinued by the author.
