yvComment is the first native Joomla! 1.5 Commenting solution, it is well documented and free.
It has two required parts (i.e., extensions): component + plugin. It also has a lot of optional extensions, including yvComment module, yvCommentCBPlugin and 35 yvComment Language packs, so the resulting solution may be very simple or more complex - it's up to you.
yvComment supports Captcha (secret word) extensions, Smileys, BBCodes, Avatars/Gravatars, WYSIWYG editor, Community Builder and many content plugins and tools designed to work with Articles of Joomla! (e.g. GeSHi). yvComment allows users to add comments to Articles (and Comments to Comments also). Comments may be stored in the same database table used by content (where they are treated as a special type of Article), or in their own table. (Read more on the Homepage)
What's new in v.1.22.0:
# Links to the archived articles are wrong (lead to the root)
# Filter by sections, categories and by articles in the module was not correct for some cases (thanks to Peter v.d. Hulst)
+ Added third value to the "Author name linkable" option: "Link to the CB profile" (requires Community Builder extension v.1.2)
+ New yvCommentCBPlugin was created - plugin for "Community Builder" extension v.1.2. It provides a 'Comments' user Tab (to the CB User Profile) that shows all Comments written by the user.
+ Added "Read more" link support. So if e.g. comments are being added using WYSIWYG editor, user may create intro and fulltext of the comment. BTW, "Alternative Read more text" parameter is also supported (although yvComment doesn't provide interface to set it...)
+ Access control improved. Now users of the "Registered" group are not allowed to edit their own comments. Joomla! 1.5 core doesn't have any user's group, that may add content, but may not edit their own content, so yvComment still acts not exactly the same way as Joomla! core (let's wait for Joomla! 1.6...)
What's new in v.1.21.0:
^ yvComment now (by default) stores text of the Comment in the 'introtext' field of the database table (and not in the 'fulltext' field as before). This increases compatibility with Comments, created by yvComment and Articles, created or edited by Joomla! core (or compatible extensions).
+ "Use designated Section and Category for comments" option.
+ The three options: "What to show on article page/frontpage/other page" to allow e.g. to see comments directly in the blog view below each article.
^ Values of the "Position of 'Add your comment' form" option where changed. There are 'above/below a list of comments' positions.
# yvComment module doesn't work, if yvComment plugin or yvComment component was not loaded
# Content link bug, if Joomla was installed not in the root of the site (function ContentIDToURL v.008)
^ Web page title on yvComment component page is set by yvComment: "ArticleTitle - ActionWithComment". Read more -
