Profile Comments

[Little15]

Here is how you can make it for buddies only

Profile.template.php
Find:

Code Select Expand


echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="catbg"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=comment;sa=add;u=' . $context['member']['id']  . '">Add Comment</a></td></tr>';


Replace

Code Select Expand


if ($context['member']['is_buddy'] || $context['user']['is_owner'])
{
echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="catbg"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=comment;sa=add;u=' . $context['member']['id']  . '">Add Comment</a></td></tr>';
}


Find:

Code Select Expand


if($comment_count != 0)
echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="catbg"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=comment;sa=add;u=' . $context['member']['id']  . '">Add Comment</a></td></tr>';


Replace

Code Select Expand


if($context['member']['is_buddy'] &&  $comment_count != 0 || $context['user']['is_owner'] && $comment_count != 0)
{
echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="catbg"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=comment;sa=add;u=' . $context['member']['id']  . '">Add Comment</a></td></tr>';
}

Is there any way to modify it so that it would send an email or a PM to the person whos profile got the comment or is that too much of a modification for me to do by just adding a bit of code?

[vbgamer45]

I think it would be possible to pm the user that they have a new comment.
I would perfer to have that the feature as an option

Thank you for this excellent mod, please allow me to suggest a feature enhancement.

How about a private comment feature, where only the person who posted the commentsee it, no one else can see it even the person who received the comment. Think of it as means of keeping tabs on everyone within the community.

To sum up and extend on some of the features already suggested, the following comment types might be available:

Public comments: Everyone can see
Private comments: Only poster can see
Buddy/Group comments: Only buddies or group can see (if person who was commented on is not part of group, then he can't see it)

A title or icon can distinguish the comment types.

The different types of comments are pretty easy to do, the only problem with buddies though is that for anyone to see the comments they just have to click on add to buddies. Though I guess if users had the ability to switch off that and they could only add buddies that would be one way to go.

So the comments add to the profile page there and don't go to a separate page? I am asking for I don't really want to flood my profile pages to much.

Hi,

I know how to install mods manually (edit the files according to comments.xml), but what to do with ProfileCommentInstall.php?

and should i copy the ProfileComments.php to the sourcedir.
and the ProfileComments.template.php to the themedir.

sorry, dont' know how to explain better in english

thanks anyway

[vbgamer45]

You would need to create those tables via phpmyadmin in the database of your forum

Code Select Expand


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `smf_profile_comments`
(`ID_COMMENT` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`ID_MEMBER` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`comment` text,
`subject` varchar (100),
`date` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`COMMENT_MEMBER_ID` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY  (`ID_COMMENT`))"

will try this out tommorow!

Released 1.0.8 Version
Adds BBC images and smilies to the add comment form.
Fixes some other little bugs here and there.

[n1kki6]

For some reason my add comments are showing up for me since I am the admin but not showing up for normal users.   My permissions look funny whether I manually instal or use the package manager.

[n1kki6]

Am I missing a setting or something.  No matter what I check in the permissions on the admin can see the comments section on the profiles.

[vbgamer45]

No you are not missing something. That is a bug with that permissions but should not affect the mod itself.

[n1kki6]

Is their anything I can double check, no matter what combination I use it seems normal users don't see it.

[vbgamer45]

Are you using a custom theme? Mods only install on the default theme.

[n1kki6]

yes, but I used the package manager and installed the mods to the custom theme as well.  Even on the default smf theme they don't show up and I double checked the code.

[vbgamer45]

Make sure normal users have the permissions to view the commetns and guests if you want to.

[n1kki6]

hmmm...did that too and still nothing.  weird.  I will go back through it one more time tonight but its weird that its working for the admin so it seems its a permissions issue?  I have a few other mods installed as well could that interfere?
