Comment Moderation

This is a stub and an enhancement on the Comment feature.

Added to Tiki3

New 'feature_comments_moderation' was added to allow users with 'tiki_p_admin_comments' perm to approve (or reject) comments.

If this feature is enabled, comments are queued for the moderator and are not published until it's approbation. The moderator can approve or reject comments either directly on the comments of the object (wiki page, blog post, ...), either on the 'Admin Comments' page.

Users without 'tiki_p_admin_comments' perm won't see rejected and queued comments. They will also have the following comment: 'Your comment will have to be approved by the moderator before it's publication.'

The interface allows:

handle table column headers (e.g. if there is only one type, 'ObjectType' is not shown anymore and 'Object' is renamed to the real type name),
add a new 'types_section' param to limit the interface to only one section (i.e. blogs, faqs, ...)
better use smarty self_link,
to approve/reject comments or see their final status (approved / rejected),
to display/edit/delete each comments,
to allow a multiple selection of types, using checkboxes (types_tag='checkbox')
to display a "double red" left border for rejected comments,
to display a "dotted blue" left border for queued comments (those waiting for moderation),
to show with some opacity both rejected and queued comments,

Note that it's not possible to reply to (or vote for) a comment that has not been approved, even by the moderator.
