An independent comment system which supports voting and nested comments. It
also supports features including instructor endorsement for education-aimed
discussion platforms.
Running the Server
------------------
If you are running cs_comments_service as part of edx-platform__ development under
devstack, it is strongly recommended to read `those setup documents`__ first. Note that
devstack will take care of just about all of the installation, configuration, and
service management on your behalf. If running outside of devstack, continue reading below.

This service relies on Elasticsearch and MongoDB. By default the service will use the Elasticsearch server available at
`http://localhost:9200` and the MongoDB server available at `localhost:27017`. This is suitable for local development;
however, if you wish to change these values, refer to `config/application.yml` and `config/mongoid.yml` for the
environment variables that can be set to override the defaults.
Before the server is first run, ensure gems are installed by doing ``bundle install``.
To run the server, do ``ruby app.rb [-p PORT]`` where PORT defaults to 4567.
Running Tests
-------------
To run tests, do ``bundle exec rspec``. Append ``--help`` or see rspec documentation
for additional options to this command.
Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n)
---------------------------------------------------
To run the comments service in a language other than English, set the
``SERVICE_LANGUAGE`` environment variable to the `language code` for the
desired language. Its default value is en-US.
Setting the language has no effect on user content stored by the service.
However, there are a few data validation messages that may be seen by end
users via the frontend in edx-platform__. These will be
translated to ``SERVICE_LANGUAGE`` assuming a suitable translation file is
found in the locale/ directory.
__ https://github.com/edx/edx-platform
edX uses Transifex to host translations. To use the Transifex client, be sure
it is installed (``pip install transifex-client`` will do this for you), and
follow the instructions here__ to set up your ``.transifexrc`` file.
__ http://support.transifex.com/customer/portal/articles/1000855-configuring-the-client
To upload strings to Transifex for translation when you change the set
of translatable strings: ``bundle exec rake i18n:push``
To fetch the latest translations from Transifex: ``bundle exec rake i18n:pull``
The repository includes some translations so they will be available
upon deployment. To commit an update to these: ``bundle exec rake i18n:commit``
