Ajax Profile Comments

Link to Mod

Current Version: 1.0

As the title suggests, Ajax Profile Comments makes it possible for users to leave comments on their profiles. It uses a nice sliding interface that doesn't require page loads for things like posting new comments, modifying, or deleting.

This mod uses a few icons from the LED icon set.

License:
I release this mod and all the code in it to anyone who wants to use it in hopes that it may be found useful. Attribution is not necessary, nor do you need to provide a link back to my website. You are free to use this mod for any purpose, including commercial works, redistribution and derivative works. The only contingency is that the link back to the LED icon set must remain, as this mod uses two icons from that set. Namely comment_delete.png and comment_edit.png. Both images are found in the root directory of the package. All other images are made by myself and can be used freely. Lastly, this mod comes with no guarantees that it will work well on all servers and configurations, and I will not be held responsible for damages, expenses or problems that may have been caused by the mod's use.


This mod is now updated and stored on GitHub. All updates and releases will be committed there, where you can download a zipped package with the latest code.

Installed with no errors but on viewing a members profile it failed to load the page ... with this error:

Unknown column 'comment_id' in 'field list'
File: /.../.../public_html/Sources/Profile-View.php
Line: 256


SMF 2.0.2, Simple Portal 2.3.4

Then make sure the install was run successfully.

Looks like the database table didn't get applied. Try uninstalling the mod and reinstalling it again.

Or he can just upload your db install file via FTP, and run it in his browser

Oh good. I'm glad it works for you now.

Permissions on Manage Permissions area (in the Simple View mode) are the same. Error?

[The Craw]

I probably goofed something up with this being the first time I attempted permissions. Thanks for the report, Bugo

[Matthew K.]

It's most likely just a text-string issue...

[Bugo]

What about hardcode text in profile_comments.js? For example:

Code Select Expand


var okay = confirm('Delete comment?');


[Matthew K.]

There is no text-string loader for JavaScript built-in to SMF.

Good catch. I'll make sure to fix that, too. You da man, Bugo.

when you get a comment, is there a notification? if not, there should be one...though I would like it if it's not by PM or email but instead there's a message in the top of the forum like

That's a good suggestion, Jessica. Shouldn't be hard to implement, so I might put that in the next release. Thanks for the feedback.

Just so everyone knows, I'm aware that when you first install the mod and go to view a profile, the comments section doesn't look... good. For some reason after installing the mod, the css file doesn't like to load right away. The solution is to leave the profile page and return to it. Or if that doens't work, try closing the browser and opening the profile page again. The problem should not return after that.

Love your siggy

Why not put the extra styles in a separate file? That''ll beat the cache for sure
