Threaded comments in CGBlog/CGFeedback

[Saeglopur]

I am using the CG Blog with CG Feedback for comments (newest versions). It works great. But I just wondered if I could have threaded comments, since the site I'm building is for advice. Is this possible?

I think it has been fixed, I tried it before and it wasn't working, you need to call the feedback module in the bottom of the feedback form...

There is no comment threading (one person replying directly to another) in CGFeedback, but you could hire CalGuy/Robert Campbell calguy1000.com who developed it. I just hired him for a couple of excellent additions to CGFeedback and CGSmartImage.

I don't care about comment threads, I don't think CMSMS is a great tool for blogging if that is the thing you're going to do mostly. It would be better to use WP for that, perhaps just skin a blog with a nice framework to start with (hybrid rocks), then use CMSMS for the other pages, I bet you could find a way to share the same db, so that the search will work for both installs. I think I also read of a way to bring in some of the latest posts and jazz onto the CMSMS site.

OR you could figure out or hire how to get disqus for your comments on CMSMS. I couldn't figure it out, but I wasn't really trying.

Thought it would be something along these lines in the bottom of the CGFeedback detail template, second one was supposed to call CGFeedback form for input...

{CGFeedback key1=CGFeedback key2="$onecomment.id" action='summary'} {CGFeedback key1=CGFeedback key2="$onecomment.id"}

[carasmo]

Does it do this? That would rock if so.

[carasmo]

Oh, the detail template, never even used it. How about in the summary, with a link that says reply, have you messed around with that?

[Dr.CSS]

Most times in summary it is...

author..........category..........comments (count)

With the word comments as a link to detail/comments...

[carasmo]

The way I understood it is to put a call in the blog detail to the form and summary of the cgfeedback, this then shows

detail of post
summary of comments to post
form for posting a comment

See this image:



Are you saying that on that page it should be a detail page of the CGfeedback and that has the function to reply to specific comments, like this:



Where at the bottom of the comment, is a reply button to reply directly to that comment?

[Dr.CSS]

Yes it is supposed to...

[JackOutoftheBox]

Is there an update on the code for this? Can you share an example of how this can work? I'm pulling my hair out trying to make the "reply" functionality work for threaded comments.

[carasmo]

I never got it to work and went with disqus
