Quick start
1) Add the following to your HTML file
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery-comments.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-comments.js"></script>
2) Initialize the library
$('#comments-container').comments({
getComments: function(success, error) {
var commentsArray = [{
id: 1,
created: '2015-10-01',
content: 'Lorem ipsum dolort sit amet',
fullname: 'Simon Powell',
upvote_count: 2,
user_has_upvoted: false
}];
success(commentsArray);
}
});
If you are not using Font Awesome for icons, you should replace the icons with custom images by overriding following options when initializing the library:
spinnerIconURL: '',
noCommentsIconURL: '',
upvoteIconURL: '', // Only if upvoting is enabled
replyIconURL: '', // Only if replying is enabled
uploadIconURL: '', // Only if attachments are enabled
attachmentIconURL: '', // Only if attachments are enabled
fileIconURL: '', // Only if attachments are enabled
