You now have to modify your theme (I assume you already have selected one), so the comments can be displayed.

Therefore copy https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/blob/master/pelican_comment_system/doc/installation.md#example-articlehtml-theme in the '[YourTheme]/templates/article.html' (Where exactly depends on the theme and your taste.)

A minimalist example of a working site can be found at: https://github.com/Scheirle/pelican_comment_system_example

PS: When the basic setup works you probably want to edit the theme, so the comments look better with your current theme.

FYI

pelicanconf.py

PLUGIN_PATHS = ['/root/pelican-plugins'] PLUGINS = ['pelican_comment_system'] PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM = True

And My plugin pelican_comment_system pelicanconf.py file configuration

('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM', True), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_DIR', '/test/comments'), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_OUTPUT_PATH', 'images/identicon'), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_DATA', ()), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_SIZE', 72), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_AUTHORS', {}), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_FEED', os.path.join('feeds', 'comment.%s.atom.xml')), ('PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_FEED_ALL', os.path.join('feeds', 'comments.all.atom.xml')), ('COMMENT_URL', '#comment-{slug}')

please find the /theme/template/article.html added the code as the link suggested

And here the output what i'm getting,please check the screenshot below, There is no coloum to post comment, showing only "There are no comments yet", Please suggest... how to post commets

[Scheirle]

And My plugin pelican_comment_system pelicanconf.py file configuration

There shouldn't be such a file. All settings you change go in the main (website root) pelicanconf.py.

There is no coloum to post comment

This you have to add yourself. Some pointers can be found at: https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/blob/master/pelican_comment_system/doc/form.md

[..] showing only "There are no comments yet" at top right side

Insert the comment theme between '< /article>" and '< /section>' (not below). Then the comments should be under the article.

As suggested in https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/blob/master/pelican_comment_system/doc/installation.md#settings settings for pelican _comment_system mentioned above, it is not pelicanconf.py its /root/pelican-plugins/pelican_comment_system/pelican_comment_system.py

About form creation, i don't know about the javascript deveoper, i'm linux administrator, so can u please guide me step by step where need to add that code, if possible please edit my article.html file and post here..

As suggested in https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/blob/master/pelican_comment_system/doc/installation.md#settings settings for pelican _comment_system mentioned above, it is not pelicanconf.py its /root/pelican-plugins/pelican_comment_system/pelican_comment_system.py

In pelican_comment_system.py are just the default values. If you want to change them, add them to your pelicanconf.py (which then overwrites the defaults).

About form creation, i don't know about the javascript deveoper, i'm linux administrator, so can u please guide me step by step where need to add that code, if possible please edit my article.html file and post here..

I extended the minimalistic example (https://github.com/Scheirle/pelican_comment_system_example and http://scheirle.github.io/pelican_comment_system_example/sample-article.html) so it now contains the comment form.

The actual article.html: https://github.com/Scheirle/pelican_comment_system_example/blob/master/no_avatars/theme/templates/article.html

This should give you all information you need to setup your own article.html.

It is asking me to post comment via email, but i want to just post comment over there itself directly,

And where these comments will store in backend and how to configure this..

[Scheirle]

The plugin you selected (pelican_comment_system) uses a static approach. It reads the comments from files but doesn't handle the comment/file creation.

For your requirements a different comment system (e.g. disqus) is probably a better choice.

@kusumasuresh Look at https://github.com/posativ/isso - it's written in python and quite easy to install. I deployed it for my pelican blog.

[kusumasuresh]

@Scheirle I'm Testing on my local test machine which does not have public domain, I as per my knowledge Disqus require public domain name.

@DirkR How to install isso for my pelican, please go through my pelican configurations above and please guide what to do next. step by step

[ingwinlu]

we are not your personal instruction bots, read the isso docs, read the pelican docs, do some work yourself.

[DirkR]

@kusumasuresh No, I cannot do that. There is extensive documentation at http://posativ.org/isso/docs/, and there is a blog post from the author (unfortunatly in German), where he describes the installation in a specific shared hosting environment: http://blog.posativ.org/2014/isso-und-uberspace-de/
