Package Description

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
