Reply button for comments

If they're disappearing make sure you have updated your users roles and permissions to be able to READ them. Login as the administrator, which is usually setup to see all objects. If you can't see them when logged in as the admin then make sure you have added the objects to your layout design.

You can also look at the forum templates to see which buttons are added and using what code.

In order to have any buttons appear you must set a rule to tell ez to do so.

If you look for the privileges related to "comments" you will find that they are able to be created as children of specific classes. Just find the" CREATE" role for comments allow comments to be added as children of comments

content create Class( Comments ) , Section( Standard ) , ParentClass( Comments )

Then you can write comments as replies to comments.

But it depends if you want them to appear hierarchical. If this is the case your better looking at the forum classes to understand what?s going on. In their case they have different classes doing different things.

In your case you could have a ?Comment? class used to comment on Products etc and a new class called ?reply? which you would use to reply to comments. You would add a new privilege to your role to make it work.

content create Class( Reply ) , Section( Standard ) , ParentClass( Comment )

In the override template for your new ?reply? class you would specify the button to read as Reply instead of submit.

You will also need to add your ?read? and ?edit? privileges as well.

Hi Fats,

And thanks for your reply.
I tried to follow your steps and I did the following template:
http://www.linuxorable.net/temp/templates/comment.tpl.txt

I did it from a copy of design/plain/override/templates/full/forum_topic.tpl

Now, as you can see here:
http://www.linuxorable.net/ez_test3.7.5/index.php/plain/nouvel_article

I can add a new comment and reply to it.
But I have two troubles:

1/ Let's say we have a "New comment". If I reply (B) to a reply (A) (which is the first reply to "New comment"), the reply B won't be below the reply A. Reply B will be displayed at the end of the replies list like all replies. ( comment_reply class has well the "container" flag set to TRUE). It seems I have to do a loop, but I don't understand which one ?

2/ I use a comment_reply class and a comment_reply.tpl (I did the good override to use this template). When I send a reply form, I don't come back to the article. The comment_reply.tpl is here:
http://www.linuxorable.net/temp/templates/comment_reply.tpl.txt

How can I set the "$main_node_id" in <input type="hidden" name="MainNodeID" value="{$main_node_id }" /> so that it is the node of the article ?

To Nabil: doest these infos answers your post ?

Regards

Pascal
