I did install yesterday evening the latest version of !JoomlaComment

!JoomlaComment is one of the first extensions for Joomla,that let you comment under articles.

The !JoomlaComment system can be installed on any joomla website within seconds! Make
your website more interactive!

Main Features:

• ajax-based
• captcha protection
• akismet support
• ubb code support
• threathed/nested comments
• multilanguage support
• mail, website input
• See more features here

Joomla support templates, depending on which templates you use

• MTdefault-emotop, these templates MTxxxx use mootols 1.11
• JQdefaut-emotop, these templates JQxxxx use Jquery
• ..

You may behind the scene include another additional AJAX library in Joomla!® frontend, this lead to performance issues:

If !JoomlaComment use JQuery 1.1.4 and not the AJAX library of Joomla!, aka Mootools 1.11. Another huge JavaScript files that make my server busier!

Since any static files can be offloaded to another server to gain more speed. For example, any static images, JavaScript or CSS files can be moved to a different server for more speed.

In order to be able to offload this JavaScript library to Google code, you’ll have to do the following:

In the template you are using, for example in components/com_comment/joscomment/templates/JQdefault-emotop/index.html

Search for

{library}
<script type="text/javascript" src="components/com_comment/joscomment/jscripts/jquery-1.1.4.pack.js"></script>
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
{/library}

and replace with

{library}
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script>jQuery.noConflict();</script>
{/library}

Note that I use here the latest JQuery version (1.3.2) and not the default version of !joomlaComment (1.1.4), here is why

• This version 1.1.4 is not available at http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/#jquery :-)
• I did test the frontend of !JoomlaComment 4.0 with JQuery 1.3.2 and it work great
