Pelican Static Comment System allows you to add static comments to your articles.

PyPI version number Changelog Supported Python version License Download Count

Comments are received via email (i.e. you don’t need to maintain a server to receive comments). Comments are stored in files in formats that can be processed by Pelican (e.g., Markdown, reStructuredText). Each comment resides in its own file.

Features

  • Static comments for each article

  • Replies to comments

  • Avatars and Identicons

  • Comment Atom feed for each article

  • Easily style-able via themes

  • Python 3 support

Instructions

PyPi

The Pelican Comment System is now also in the Python Package Index and can easily installed via:

pip install minchin.pelican.plugins.static-comments

Requirements

Pelican 3.4 or newer is required.

To create identicons, the Python Image Library is needed. Therefore you either need PIL or Pillow (recommended). If you install the plugin from pip, Pillow will automatically be installed.

Install Pillow manually via:

pip install Pillow

If you don’t want avatars or identicons, this plugin works fine without PIL/Pillow. You will, however, see a warning that identicons are deactivated (as expected).

The change log can be found in the CHANGELOG.rst file.

2.1.2 - 2023-08-09

Support

  • blacklist autoloader v1.2.0

2.1.1 - 2022-04-29

Fixed

  • Readme link targets

2.1.0 - 2022-04-10

Fixed

  • generating slugs should now work across Pelican 3.7, 4.0-4.2, and 4.5+. The slugs should also match “old” versions (pre 2.0.0) of the plugin as well. Use the form replyto: 1md (no period for file extension start).

Added

  • add prefix (“[Static Comments]”) to all logging messages

2.0.0 - 2022-04-08

Fixed

  • [This is no longer the case with v2.1.0.] the replyto field now takes the whole filename, rather than “eating” the dot in filenames. E.g. old: replyto: 1md; new: replyto: 1.md. You will need to update any comments that contain this field. If you don’t update, a warning will appear when you generate your site.

Added

  • automatically activates on Pelican 4.5+. If automatic loading isn’t working, refer to the installation instructions for my autoloader plugin.

  • Blogger comment exporter script is now available on the commandline as blogger-comment-export

Changes

  • move GitHub repo to MinchinWeb/minchin.pelican.plugins.static-comments

  • plugin name, as listed in PLUGINS in pelicanconf.py, is now minchin.pelican.plugin.static_comments. Generally, though, the entry can be completely removed and instead rely on the auto-loading of plugins provided by Pelican 4.5+.

  • documentation may (in places) still need to be updated
