ckanext-comments

Add comment-trees to CKAN pages.

This plugins provides comment threads linked to any of the main CKAN entities:

• datasets
• resources
• groups
• organizations
• users.

All the features are API-first, so anything you can do via UI, can be done via API.

No changes to the WebUI are done by default. One have to include a snippet into Jinja2 template in order to show the comments on a page.

{# subject_type := package | group | resource | user #}
{% snippet 'comments/snippets/thread.html', subject_id=pkg.id, subject_type='package' %}

:info: For the datasets it also can be achieved by enabling ckanext.comments.enable_default_dataset_comments option.

• python >= 3.7
