Comment Module

Does anyone know of a module that allows you to add a comment form / comments to other modules?

Re: Comment Module

The comments feature is a part of the XOOPS core that can be added to modules. Depending on your courage and skill levels, it is not that difficult.

Which module do you want to have comments in?

Re: Comment Module

Thanks for the reply.

I'm hoping to add a comments feature to Agenda-X - the popular calendar / events module.

One of my colleagues has suggested a 'general comments for this month' feature to be added to the events calendar. It sounds reasonable.

I just had a quick look at the link you provided. The instructions look clear and easy to follow.

I'm reasonably happy working with code so I'll give it a go.

I'd like to associate comments with an individual month so that the relevant comment appears when that month is viewed.

If I use the unique identifier for the month, similar to an article ID, I might just work

thanks again for your help, I'm really enjoying working with XOOPs it's amazing!

Re: Comment Module : Follow Up

I followed the instructions and got the comments form appearing correctly in the Agenda-X module!

Please note : I had to use the comment files from the poll module not the weblinks module, the weblinks module files caused errors (because of weblink module related includes) The xoopspoll files were more simple so I used them. Perhaps that guide could be updated to recommend using the poll module comment files...

The basic situation :

I've added a comment feature to the Agenda-X module.

The comments bar appears.

I can post a new comment.

I get a "Thanks for your submission" message.

However, when I visit the associated page where I posted the comment - the comments bar is there but the area is blank (i.e no comments are rendered)

My xoops_version.php settings:

$modversion['hasComments'] = 1;
$modversion['comments']['itemName'] = 'kdate';
$modversion['comments']['pageName'] = 'index.php';


Permissions : allow anonymous comments / always approved

the index.php file is passed another value 'op' (i.e. index.php?op=cal&kdate=20050511) would that cause a problem?

any ideas why the associated comments are not appearing after being posted?

any advice appreciated.
