Various topics, explained in detail

Base URL

The base URL is the root URL Comentario is available at. It must be set correctly in order for your setup to work.

Comment

A comment is, just like domain, a basic building block in Comentario. A comment represents a piece of text, multiple comments are arranged in a tree structure called comment tree.

Comment Editor

The Comment Editor allows to create and update comments in a comment tree using the Markdown syntax.

Comment tree

The term comment tree, also called comment thread, means that comments are organized in a tree structure, so that comments can have children — which we call replies.

Domain

The concept of domain is central to Comentario: it is a basic building block.

Domain page

A domain page represents a website page on a certain domain. A page corresponds to a specific URL.

Live update

Comentario supports the so-called Live update — a mechanism that delivers new or updated comments on the page that is already open, without the need to reload the page.

Markdown

Comentario allows to write comments with rich formatting by using the so-called Markdown format (or language).

Permissions

There are two kinds of permissions in Comentario: the superuser permission and a number of user domain roles.

Sticky comment

If a comment has no parent, we call it a root or a top-level comment. A root comment can be made sticky, which will pin it at the top of the comment tree.
