A Joomla plugin that shows social network comments and JComments in tabs below articles. Visitors comment with their existing social accounts, without registering on the site.
JL Comments adds social comments to Joomla articles. The comment widgets of social networks and the JComments system are shown in Bootstrap tabs, so several commenting systems share one area of the page and the plugin itself stays lightweight.
Visitors leave comments with the social network accounts they already have, with no registration on the site. Comments posted through social widgets are visible to the commenter's friends, which brings additional traffic.
