    )

Configure the module in app config:

'modules'=>array(
    ...
    'comments'=>array(
        //you may override default config for all connecting models
        'defaultModelConfig' => array(
            //only registered users can post comments
            'registeredOnly' => false,
            'useCaptcha' => false,
            //allow comment tree
            'allowSubcommenting' => true,
            //display comments after moderation
            'premoderate' => false,
            //action for postig comment

            'orderComments'=>'DESC',
        ),
        //the models for commenting
        'commentableModels'=>array(
            //model with individual settings
