I'm setting up a custom buddypress install and would like to have comments directly on the forum topics page. I see that its possible to show your forum replies on the group activity stream, but I would like to have it the other way around. I essentially post a question as the "Topic" let everyone answer that question in their replies, but I'd like to see people comment on other peoples answers.
We're working on the same problem right now, this is what I suggested to my development team -
we can directly replicate the comments functionality that comes with
wordpress and database schema for wp_comments table. Like each topic
post can be like a blog post with comments. Above action hook will help with fetching and display.
I was looking for the same feature on Buddypress forum posts and finally got the success with the only available plugin bbPress Threaded Replies. This plugin added the same comment and reply system to my buddypress-bbpress forum posts as it is for my general sitewide activity.
If you need, you can download and install teh same at http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-threaded-replies/

I am working on a website that will have social media features and I am using the PeepSo plugin for most of the features. Unfortunately, this plugin does not allow the admin to approve posts and comments before they are posted, and this is the functionality that is the most important to me. I found a way to approve the posts - I integrated the User Submitted Posts plugin with PeepSo, but I want the comments to be approved too.
When a user submits a post it is displayed in the PeepSo activity stream, and then they can click on it and it will be displayed as a WP post. Then they can comment on it using WP comments, these comments can be moderated before they are posted.
But the users can also comment directly from the activity stream and these comments are handled by PeepSo and are posted directly without admin approval.
So I want to try some of these workarounds:
Delete the PeepSo comment function, which will only enable the user to comment after clicking on a post, then the comments will be handled by WP
Find a way to code the WP comments to be displayed in the PeepSo activity stream, so that the user can comment directly from the stream and the comments can be approved by the admin before they are posted
Find a way to make the PeepSo comments from the stream to be approved by the admin before they are posted, so that there will be no need for the WP comments.
I can delete the PeepSo comment function, but I don't like this idea, because it makes user interactions a bit harder with more clicks required. I would like to be able to make option 2 or 3 possible, but I am worried about messing with the PeepSo plugin code. Maybe you can help me with how to do it and not crash my website?
PeepSo has an option to integrate PeepSo comments with WP comments, but it only works one way - gets rid of the WP comments, and only allows PeepSo comments on the entire website.
Please help me, I would really appreciate that.
Please notice that PeepSo used its own comments with his own Tables.
They don't integrade the comments from Wordpress but they deactivate them.
I have a simular problem with Borlabs Caching tool, While PeepSo used its own comments, Borlabs Cache can't update the post automaticly after new comments.
I like to know if there is a way to create topics on specific Forums when I save posts on WordPress side. Is there any tutorial available?
More specific. I like to allow my plugin users to combine a WordPress category to a phpBB forum, and when I create a new post in the WordPress, automaticly to create a topic in the phpBB side in the corresponding forum.
ie: Post that are posted on Tech News category, automaticly to be posted on Technology news forum on the phpBB side.
Any solution for that ?
BBPress is supposed to do exactly this.
http://bbpress.org/
If you want to develop your own Wordpress plugin, take a look at phpBB's submit_post function:
http://wiki.phpbb.com/Using_phpBB3%27s_Basic_Functions#1.4.7._Inserting_Posts_and_Private_Mess
http://wiki.phpbb.com/Function.submit_post
and Wordpress' publish_post function, located in wp-includes/post.php
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_publish_post
You don't need to switch to bbPress, you can use WP-United. It only allows you to select one forum to cross-post to at the moment, but it would be an easy change to cross-post based on category: I'm considering adding that for v0.9.2
I'm trying to figure out how to allow users to comments on an authors profile page (where it displays recent posts by xxx). Anyone have any idea where I would even start?
I don't think I'll be able even inserts comments into the comments table in mysql because of the comment_post_ID conflict. Unless I inserted authors comments as a{AUTH-ID} so there would be no number conflicts (with the post id).
But how would I do this? Bad coding practice?
Thank you.
See the top answer on this page, it's the best method of getting comments working on author pages :
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/8996/author-page-comments-and-ratings
Be sure to avoid use the Wordpress plugin 'Author Page Comments' which claims to to what you want, but is reported as unworking and potentially vulnerable to security problems.
I am looking for a way to only show the comments posted in wordpress.
My main goal is to turn the wordpress CMS into a site like fmylife.com. The basic principle is allowing anyone to post anonymously (without having a post to comment on), and then the comments need to be moderated by the admin.
If there is an easier solution to doing this, then I'm open to hearing that as well. The only thing I don't want to do is get the fmyscript clone. I've tried that and don't like it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Adam.
Why don't you try the buddypress plugin wherein users can register and post. Just disable all other components except activity feed and make your homepage as a static activity feed page (configurable in the settings).
I have a blog where you can add tags. I wanted to see the related blogposts to this tag in a view so i created one with the module Similar By Terms.
However, i can't seem to link old blog posts to new posts. Only new posts to old posts.
what does this mean? when i add a new blog i get all past blog post with the same tag posts. But when i click on them i dont see my new blog in the similar tags list.
can anyone help me with this?
Are you running Drupal's cron? I imagine that is how they would generate the similar terms - at least it was when I used this module in Drupal 5.
Just go to yoursite.com/cron.php and then check the old posts.
