You can use the commands in this section to organize comments made by visitors as feedback for the Online shop products.

First of all, you have to select the Let customers add Comments for the Products of your Online Shop.

Then you have to specify the Comment management system that you are going to use, choosing from:

	WebSite X5: this is WebSite X5's built-in system and offers a specific online Control Panel.
	Facebook: this uses Facebook's Social Plug-in to organize discussions and comments.
	Disqus: this is the system offered by Disqus.

According to the chosen Comment management system, you will find different options you can work with.

If you use WebSite X5's built-in Comment management system, you must define the Content Type that website visitors can leave, choosing from:

	Comment and Vote: visitors can write a comment and vote the website.
	Comment: visitors can write a comment, but they can't vote.
	Vote: visitors can vote, but they can't write a comment.

When you select Content Type, you will see the following options in the Comments Settings section:

▪	Vote Style: select this option to define the style of the element that visitors can vote (for example, 5 stars). This is the only option available if you select Vote as Content Type.

▪	Arrange comments in multiple columns: this option reports the comments on different flanked columns instead of a single one.

▪	Show 'Abuse' button: select this option if you want an "Abuse" button added, so that visitors can report objectionable conduct.

▪	Enable 'Captcha' anti-spam filter: you can add the Captcha anti-spam filter to the end of the comment form.

Use the command in the Privacy and Security | Security window to choose the captcha system that is to be used

▪	Comments per Page: this defines how many posts are to be displayed in the comments box.

▪	View Mode: you can decide whether comments made by visitors are to be published immediately online, or whether they are to be approved first, using the commands in the online Control Panel.

▪	View Order: you can define the chronological order to the published comments, from the most recent to the earliest, or vice versa.

Providers usually give write access to all folders on the server: if this is the case, you don't need to give the pathname of the public folder. In all other cases, contact your webspace provider for the complete public folder pathname.

You can check in the WebSite Test section of the online Control Panel whether the folder with write access, and any sub-folders inside i, actually exist and, if so, if you have write access to them (so that you can save the data).

If you aren't going to use the WebSite X5 Hosting, you will need to use the dedicated options available in the Server Settings window to configure the Database connected to the Project

Again if you use the Comment management system in WebSite X5, you can access the online Control Panel to enable notifications to be sent to the Website Administrator every time a Product of your online store gets a new comment.

If you decide to use Facebook as the Comment management system you must define the following settings:

▪	Color: to set up light or dark colors for items in the foreground, in order to have a correct contrast with the background.

▪	Visible Posts: to define the number of posts to be displayed in the comments box.

If you decide to use Disqus as Comment management system, you can define the following settings:

▪	Disqus Short Name: this is the short name used to identify the website during the Disqus service setup. All comments received on a website will be automatically associated with the short name and can consequently be correctly loaded and displayed.
