About

Xcomm3x — Comment System for MODX3

The component embeds a full-featured comment block on any MODX3 page. Works on native Fetch API without third-party dependencies. All templates are handled through MODX chunks.

Key Features

  • Nested comments — tree-structured replies with configurable nesting depth
  • Three ready-made themes — built-in (xcomm3x-*), Bootstrap 5, UIKit 3; customization via chunks
  • Guests and authenticated users — guests enter name and email; authenticated users get data from their MODX profile
  • Moderation — pre-moderation of new comments, manual approval/rejection/spam marking in the admin panel
  • Email notifications — queue with cron-based delivery to: manager, page author, parent comment author
  • Unsubscribes — users can unsubscribe from notifications for each channel separately
  • Stop words — filtering by words and phrases: moderation, rejection, or spam
  • IP blocking — by address or CIDR mask; silent blocking mode (fake success response)
  • Captcha — image with 6 digits; user enters the first or last 3 (task is random on each load); modes: guests only, everyone, disabled
  • Rate limiting — restriction on the number of comments within a sliding time window
  • Voting — likes/dislikes; each user votes only once
  • Editing and deletion — authors can modify their comments within a configurable time window
  • Pagination — "Load more" button with cursor-based navigation
  • Multiple blocks per page — via the block_key parameter

3.2.0-pl
==============
EN:
-- Security: fixed MODX tag injection, XSS in email preview, arbitrary chunk output and IP spoofing; manager permissions and modAuth check added.
-- Fixed: reply order, notifications only after approval, absolute unsubscribe link with confirmation, email sender fallback.
-- New: Fenom in chunks (with pdoTools), several comment blocks per page, site language in chunks, trusted_proxies and mail_queue_keep_days settings.
-- Removed: unused code and assets.

3.0.1-pl
==============
EN:
- Fixed: form fields are no longer cleared when submission fails (e.g. wrong captcha) — user input is preserved on error.
- Fixed: edit form error no longer replaces the comment in DOM with the error message.
- Fixed: captcha is now validated for replies too (was silently skipped, shown but ignored).
- Fixed: captcha_mode "smart" now works as documented — captcha only for guests ("always" — for everyone).
- Fixed: multiple captchas on one page no longer overwrite each other per-key session storage (captcha_key), TTL 1h, max 10.
- Improved: reply form resets after a comment is accepted for moderation (prevents duplicate submits); captcha reloads after every attempt.
