# CMS Kit: Comments
CMS kit provides a **comment** system to add the comment feature to any kind of resource, like blog posts, products, etc.
## Enabling the Comment Feature
By default, CMS Kit features are disabled. Therefore, you need to enable the features you want, before starting to use it. You can use the [Global Feature](../../Global-Features.md) system to enable/disable CMS Kit features on development time. Alternatively, you can use the ABP Framework's [Feature System](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Features) to disable a CMS Kit feature on runtime.
> Check the ["How to Install" section of the CMS Kit Module documentation](Index.md#how-to-install) to see how to enable/disable CMS Kit features on development time.
## Options
The comment system provides a mechanism to group comment definitions by entity types. For example, if you want to use the comment system for blog posts and products, you need to define two entity types named `BlogPosts` and `Product`, and add comments under these entity types.
`CmsKitCommentOptions` can be configured in the domain layer, in the `ConfigureServices` method of your [module](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Module-Development-Basics). Example:
```csharp
Configure<CmsKitCommentOptions>(options =>
{
options.EntityTypes.Add(new CommentEntityTypeDefinition("Product"));
options.IsRecaptchaEnabled = true; //false by default
options.AllowedExternalUrls = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>
{
{
"Product",
new List<string>
{
"https://abp.io/"
}
}
};
});
```
> If you're using the [Blogging Feature](Blogging.md), the ABP framework defines an entity type for the blog feature automatically. You can easily override or remove the predefined entity types in `Configure` method like shown above.
`CmsKitCommentOptions` properties:
- `EntityTypes`: List of defined entity types(`CmsKitCommentOptions`) in the comment system.
- `IsRecaptchaEnabled`: This flag enables or disables the reCaptcha for the comment system. You can set it as **true** if you want to use reCaptcha in your comment system.
- `AllowedExternalUrls`: Indicates the allowed external URLs by entity types, which can be included in a comment. If it's specified for a certain entity type, then only the specified external URLs are allowed in the comments.
`CommentEntityTypeDefinition` properties:
- `EntityType`: Name of the entity type.
## The Comments Widget
The comment system provides a commenting [widget](../../UI/AspNetCore/Widgets.md) to allow users to send comments to resources on public websites. You can simply place the widget on a page like below.
```csharp
@await Component.InvokeAsync(typeof(CommentingViewComponent), new
{
entityType = "Product",
entityId = "...",
referralLinks = new [] {"nofollow"}
})
```
`entityType` was explained in the previous section. `entityId` should be the unique id of the product, in this example. If you have a Product entity, you can use its Id here. `referralLinks` is an optional parameter. You can use this parameter to add values (such as "nofollow", "noreferrer", or any other values) to the [rel attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel) of links.
## User Interface

## Internals
### Domain Layer
#### Aggregates
This module follows the [Entity Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Entities) guide.
##### Comment
A comment represents a written comment from a user.
- `Comment` (aggregate root): Represents a written comment in the system.
#### Repositories
This module follows the [Repository Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Repositories) guide.
The following custom repositories are defined for this feature:
- `ICommentRepository`
#### Domain services
This module follows the [Domain Services Best Practices & Conventions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Best-Practices/Domain-Services) guide.
##### Comment Manager
`CommentManager` is used to perform some operations for the `Comment` aggregate root.
### Application layer
#### Application services
- `CommentAdminAppService` (implements `ICommentAdminAppService`): Implements the use cases of the comment management system, like listing or removing comments etc.
- `CommentPublicAppService` (implements `ICommentPublicAppService`): Implements the use cases of the comment management on the public websites, like listing comments, adding comments etc.
### Database providers
#### Common
##### Table / collection prefix & schema
All tables/collections use the `Cms` prefix by default. Set static properties on the `CmsKitDbProperties` class if you need to change the table prefix or set a schema name (if supported by your database provider).
##### Connection string
This module uses `CmsKit` for the connection string name. If you don't define a connection string with this name, it fallbacks to the `Default` connection string.
See the [connection strings](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Connection-Strings) documentation for details.
