Overview

The Commentry module allows admins to prominently display selected comments alongside node content.

Comentry was created to address the issue many newspapers, publishers, and bloggers face when dealing with comments, which is that valuable and insightful comments are typically lost in the noise of lower quality comments.

Good quality, pertinent comments can enhance your content by adding additional relevant information, showing opposing viewpoints, and provide additional coverage of a topic.

Highlighted comments are also a great way to reward your community. For example, even with a technical post, there are often comments that contain additional useful information. Highlighting these comments has the benefit of enhancing your content and rewarding high quality contributors.

Features

  • Adds a 'highlight' link to each comment allowing administrators to prominently display specific comments when viewing a node with comments.
  • User configurable set of information that can be displayed with the highlighted comments such as author and date.
  • Optionally display the total number of highlighted comments a user has next to their name. Can be used as a badge and introduces a bit of gamification.

NOTE

A Drupal 7 version will be released shortly.
