Installation

To begin the installation first download the module from online. You can find what version you require for your SilverStripe installation on the silverstripe.org website.

After you have finished downloading the file, extract the downloaded file to your sites root folder and ensure the name of the module is comments.

Run a database rebuild by visiting http://yoursite.com/dev/build. This will add the required database columns and tables for the module to function.

If you previously had SilverStripe 2.4 installed then you will also need to run the migration script provided. More information on this is in the next section

Migrating old comments

This module replaces the built in commenting system available in versions up to SilverStripe 2.4. To migrate from that you need to run the InitialCommentMigration task. You can do this via sake or via a web browser by visiting http://yoursite.com/dev/tasks/InitialCommentMigration
