Social Settings

Various settings related to social sharing options.

Enables visitors to comment on your products. This script has a built in comments system so comments are stored only on your server and nowhere else. If enabled comments can be enabled/disabled at the product level.

Enables comment approval. If enabled, comments must be approved before appearing in your store.

If enabled, allows visitors to comment on store products. If disabled only admin added comments will display.

Do you want to paginate the comments block? If you have a lot of comments, not paginating the results may make the page slower to load. Bear in mind that the Latte cache system will help to keep your comments fast loading if pagination is not enabled.

If pagination is enabled for comments, how many comments do you want to load per block?

A basic captcha is provided to help protect comments. Captcha appearance can be modified in 'control/classes/system/class.captcha.php'.

If enabled enables a few basic formatting features for visitors for comments. This is always and more advanced for the admin interface.

More info here (note that more advanced features are not enabled for comments for visitors).

Sends email to webmaster when a comment is added. If comments require approval, email is always sent.
