Quick start

1) Add the following to your HTML file

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery-comments.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-comments.js"></script>

2) Initialize the library

$('#comments-container').comments({     getComments: function(success, error) {         var commentsArray = [{             id: 1,             created: '2015-10-01',             content: 'Lorem ipsum dolort sit amet',             fullname: 'Simon Powell',             upvote_count: 2,             user_has_upvoted: false         }];         success(commentsArray);     } });

If you are not using Font Awesome for icons, you should replace the icons with custom images by overriding following options when initializing the library:

spinnerIconURL: '', noCommentsIconURL: '', upvoteIconURL: '',		// Only if upvoting is enabled replyIconURL: '',		// Only if replying is enabled uploadIconURL: '',		// Only if attachments are enabled attachmentIconURL: '',	// Only if attachments are enabled fileIconURL: '',		// Only if attachments are enabled
