verbb/comments 2.0.22

on PHP Packagist

Added

• Add “Reply with GIFs” support, allowing commenters to search GIPHY and attach a GIF to a comment or reply.
• Add giphyEnabled, giphyApiKey, giphyRating and giphyLimit plugin settings.
• Add gifUrl field to the GraphQL Comment interface.
• Add per-user reputation score (net votes across a user’s approved comments) shown next to their name, with a showAuthorScore setting to toggle it.
• Add assetBaseUrl setting to serve the default front-end CSS/JS from a custom base URL (e.g. a CDN/file server) instead of publishing to cpresources — avoids per-server runtime publishing in multi-server setups.
• Add assetBasePath setting + a way to copy the front-end CSS/JS there: a comments/base/publish-assets console command, a “Publish now” button in the settings, and auto-publish on install.

Changed

• Cache comment vote lookups per request (busting on vote save/delete) to avoid duplicate queries when rendering threads.
