How to enable comments on custom entities

Question

I'm using a contributed module that provides a custom entity. I would like to modify that entity and want to enable comments for this entity.

Does anybody know how to enable commens for custom entities?

an 'entity' can mean nearly anything - are you referring to a node? a content type? a field? — Geoff, Commented Jun 15, 2015 at 16:32
It's not a node and not a content type. It is a custom entity. You can create own custom entities by implementing hook_entity_info() (see Creating your own entities with Entity API for more details) — sgoelz, Commented Jun 16, 2015 at 7:04

For Drupal 8, comments are available as a field for any entity type.

That's true for Drupal 8 but not for Drupal 7.

@seb I see now this is for D7. My mistake. Here is a potential D7 solution - drupal.org/project/comments_entity

It's not possible to enable comments for custom entities because the structure of comments is made to comment nodes and not entities.
