ThePort offers several ways to socially enable your website. One of the easiest ways is to add a Remote Commenting Module to your existing website. Remote commenting allows you to more fully engage visitors to your site by allowing them to add comments to articles, news stories, photos, videos, or any part of your website.

ThePort provides a small piece of javascript that you can embed in your page. The Javascript uses AJAX, in conjunction with a simple proxy page hosted on your server, to quickly and easily enable commenting. The javascript is configurable to allow you to specify how many comments are returned and to allow paging. Additionally, we have a custom templating system that allows us to customize the look and feel of the return HTML. The end user will see a seamless experience!

Yes. The interface allows someone logged in as an administrator to add editorial notes, delete the comment, ban the user, or mark the comment as featured.

Nope, there’s more! We offer three additional modules that enhance engagement throughout your site:

1. Latest comments – Display the latest comments from all of your articles, photos, etc in one module
2. Featured comments – Displays all comments marked as ‘featured’
3. Most Commented articles – Displays the articles with the most comments
