There is option to notify persons, mentioned in configuration. That's all for now. I don't know about any hacks... Anyway, allowing emailing to guests leads to spam (if guest uses somebody else's email).fayway wrote:Hi yvolk !
great work ! thanks in advance for all what you are doing.
I have one question, is there a hack to make yvcomment automatically send a notification email (like the current "Notify me when a reply is posted" of this forum) to concerned persons of a post (I'm talking about guests who don't have an account...)

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
The notification option is very important when trying to use joomla like a blog (wordpress and blogger give this possibility)
and i can't even set manually subscribers (apart admin) in component configuration cause just the admin is concerned by receiving a notification for all articles...
Thanks any way

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Dear all,
I have implemented yvComment successfully on Joomla 1.5.3. It nicely shows last five comments in the left column on the website (my sandbox, so link will not be possible here). The issue is that is shows the whole comment, but I will like to limit it to the heading of the comment.
Anyone have the solution for that?
Many thanks!
Sintra

Well, you should compare WordPress with Joomla!, not with yvComment :-)fayway wrote:

I mean, just like WordPress has Post Notification Plugin, Joomla! needs the same. If you will find (or develop...) such plugin, that is good to notify on new articles, it's not a problem to extend it to notify about new comments on articles (if comments are stored in content table...). You may start your search from "notification"...
Please, post results of your investigations here: we'll think, what to do next. But please, make sure the plugin "is good" (at least, for You), so we won't spend time for nothing...

Re: yvComment with Funkyslide
I didn't have a chance to test Funkyslide yet, but I think, that 'as a concept' this is good, moreover, as you may see, yvComment can show comments AND "add your comment" text in the module ("comment" view for module).Growmaster wrote:Hello, after struggling to find, which commentsystem suits my needs I found yours and get to tuning it for my futuresite. I'm pretty curious how to get it working with Funkyslide, so the look would be more comprehensive, for instance get whole addcomment form in slide openable with a button/text anchor. Funkyslide is working with modules, but what to do with plugin-generated content? I'm thinking about some hardcore-hack, implementing slide in yvcomments default.php? What do you think about it as a concept?
P.S. I got to ask creator of Funkyslide probably...
Answering to your question about 'what to do with plugin-generated content': for now you may set option 'Position of comments'='Defined by Article template' and insert yvComment-generated text to any place you want (or nowhere for some view). See Homepage for more info...
This is exactly that 'request', for which 'Position of comments'='Defined by Article template' was created...Growmaster wrote: Today I have another request. When I have addcomment form on a separate page, how could i get a "NumComments" div displayed before an article intro?

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Hi,
Since JomComment doesn´t have the language for my native, I have chosen yvComment. It works fine, except for together with MyBlog. MyBlog has, as you probably know, JomComment built in. Even if I have it disabled, it won't work.
Is it possible to get yvComment to work with MyBlog as well?
Thanks!

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Hi Yuri
First of all huge thanks for an excellent extension and for making it freely available - fantastic stuff . I am currently using it with the OSTWigits Captcha plugin. (On a side note, I would have preferred to use Bigo captcha but the image does not appear for some reason). The OSTWigits captcha works fine (although the generated text is bit difficult to read).
In order to make things a bit easier for users, I would like to add the following message between the Captcha image and the "Word verification" text box.
For antispam purposes, the letters shown above need to be entered. There are no uppercases, numbers or spaces.
Strangely enough, an equivalent message is displayed only when the captcha image does not appear, which does not make it particularly useful (observed when testing the extension with Bigo Captcha).
Your help in placing a persistent message will be truly appreciated . Thanks once again for a super extension.
Cheers

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Hello, I have been searching on Google to see an example of a site that is using yvComment, along with its module but have not been able to find any that are showing the module. Are any readers of this thread using the module? If so, can I see your site? Private message is fine if you don't want to post publicly... Thanks!

'Most commented' module for yvComment?
I think, this should be done, customizing com_content template, not yvComment's.PeFik wrote:How to add article HITS : xxxx under or near yvComment comment field?

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Yuri, a couple of additional questions about yvComment. What are the differences between various minor releases - 1.8.2 and 1.8.4 for example? I didn't find release notes for the minor version, should I bother upgrading our installation? Also, one minor feature request. On a "blog" page listing articles with comments yvComment displays Comments(xx) if an article has some comments, or "Add a comment" if it doesn't. It uses the same ADD_YOUR_COMMENT resource for "Add a comment" heading above the form. Would it be possible to separate these two resources in the future version of the tool? This is because we wanted to have a short "Add comment" link in the "blog" view, but a longer message such as "Add your comment. By submitting my comment here, I acknowledge that I have read, understood and will adhere to the Blog Comment policy. " immediately above the form. Or maybe you can suggest a better way to customize text above the form? We also wanted to add explanation of CAPTCHA field to the form, and wanted to use the same ADD_YOUR_COMMENT resource.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
yvComment has two options: use 'content' table of Joomla! or use its own table. In both cases the structure of the table is the same: , just LIKE it is in 'installation/sql/mysql/joomla.sql' file, seedax702 wrote:I have not yet downloaded yvcomment.. Is it possible to see the table structure for if I wanted to import several comments to display on an article? In other words, how it would look in a CSV file in Excel?
'Table structure for table `#__content`'.
If you want to see, what data will be inside that table, use some SQL manager to see 'jos_content' table of your database.
For your convenience, I exported my jos_content table to the 'CVS' using phpMyAdmin, see it attached. The table contains both general articles and comments. Comments have '5' in the 'sectionid' column.

You better create your own template for 'comment' view of yvcomment (see 'Template override'...) and change it, as you wish.
Oh, I see, you want more . 'Template override' will allow you to do this.mmeytin wrote: We also wanted to add explanation of CAPTCHA field to the form, and wanted to use the same ADD_YOUR_COMMENT resource.

You're probably right, I didn't think it warranted to override the template, but I keep getting small requests like that for the site I'm working on, and it's probably best to just override the template.

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
I'm looking at your CSV file in the spreadsheet, and I see that the comments have sectionid of 5.If you want to see, what data will be inside that table, use some SQL manager to see 'jos_content' table of your database.
For your convenience, I exported my jos_content table to the 'CVS' using phpMyAdmin, see it attached. The table contains both general articles and comments. Comments have '5' in the 'sectionid' column.
But what I'm missing is what ties the comments to a specific article? Can I see the website that this content table is associated with? Perhaps it will help me understand..
In other words, say I have "Sample Article" which has an ID of 4, resides in Section 2 and Category 3. I understand that the comments must all be in the same section; let's call that section 6. So say I have twenty comments on Sample Article. How do those comments get attached to that article if all they have is a section id? (I also see that comments have a catid of 34 in your file)

So, for your example, all comments of "Sample Article" will have parentid=4.
I think, this is proper usage of existing field of 'jos_content' table
This approach allows any level of hierarchy: any comment, conceptually, may be commented. I'm planning to add 'Comment on comments' feature to the yvComment...
Please note, that yvComment uses some additional 'attributes' of comment. All these additional attributes are stored in the 'metadata' field of 'jos_content' table. Again, this is proper usage of this field, not a 'hack' of Joomla! core... I believe

How to translate yvComment to new language
yvComment has special, 'English language pack', that is template package to be used by translators to create additional language packs for yvComment extension.FARAN wrote:Hi,
I want to translate the front end of this handy plugin into urdu language, may anybody guide me which files to be chenged and where a change is to be made?
Thanx
So, if you want to create new translation for yvComment, download that 'English language pack' from JoomlaCode (see '3_LanguagePackTemplate' package) and follow instructions in the yvCommentLanguagePack_en-GB.xml file.
As a result, you will have yvCommentLanguagePack_xx-XX_1.18.000.000.zip package for your language, where xx-XX is the code or your language (see your 'full' Joomla! language pack)
I'm waiting for your translation!

Re: yvComment - How comments are linked to the Articles
Ok, so if i understand correctly, then in the content table you attached to your post, that would mean that the comment titled "Testing comments" is attached to the "We Are Volunteers" article, correct?Every Comment is linked to the Article using 'parentid' field.
So, for your example, all comments of "Sample Article" will have parentid=4.
Please correct and/or clarify my understanding of the following fields if you would be so kind. Perhaps this info will help anyone else that is looking to import comments:
-No Introtext, the text of the comment goes in the fulltext field.
-Not sure what the mask field is?
-sectionid and catid are always the same for comments.
-created is the date the comment was placed
-created_by - not sure what this is? Perhaps the guest user's id you speak of in your instructions?
-created_by_alias is the field where I insert the person's name
-ordering is set to 1, what is this? It's not the order of the comments apparently?
-metadata field has created_by_link= and this is where I put a weblink if the user has included one in his comment
-What happens to an unregistered commentor's email address when he enters it? (I don't need to have email as a field anywhere?)
I think I have a pretty good handle on most of it. The only thing that has me concerned is the id field. As far as I understand, everything in Joomla must have a unique id. The question is, when I go to import many comments at once into the content table, how will I know what id to start at? Do I just take the next highest number after the last in the table? Does the subject of the comment become the title field?
Thanks again for helping me with this...

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Hi Yuri,
First of all thanks for a great extension.
I'm new at joomla but i had no problems installing and setting up yvcomment.
I do have one little problem that i can't figure out.
I want users who comment on my site to be able to link to video's.
I have the extension AllVideos and this works great if a registered user posts a new article, they can add the tag to link to a [youtube] video, however the same tag in a comment does not work, it shows the tag as text in stead of showing the video box.
Is this at all possible or am i doing something wrong.

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
Hello Yuri,
Thx for your reply.
I configured the plugin according to the documentation on your site.
So it is set to Allow raw data.
Do you think it might be done with the use of BBcode ?
This i dont not have configured
Update,
I just tested it with the HTML only option, this does not work as well.
Also another Tag that i use in the articles {mosmap} does not work inside a comment as well.
I just figured out that it has to do with the way yvcomments showes the comments.
If i place a link on the site directly to the article that houses the comment (in my case All-Comments/test2.html) the tags do work.

Re: yvComment - Comments extension for Joomla! 1.5
This is how it appears in the metadata field in my spreadsheet program if they have a link and an email address:
2) Do these lines have to be separated by a new line? If so, how do I indicate a new line in the CSV as I can't seem to just press enter?
If I use the main content table of Joomla for yvComments, is it possible that having a large number of comments will slow the website down?
And this is how it appears if they left the link empty, but specified an email address:
1) I must have the created_by_link= even if there is no link?created_by_link=
created_by_email=[email protected]

I see, that it is hard to understand each other, not seeing the subject (at what URL link work, at what - not, how the link is stored in DB, how extensions are configured)...geurtd wrote:Hello Yuri,
Thx for your reply.
I configured the plugin according to the documentation on your site.
So it is set to Allow raw data.
Do you think it might be done with the use of BBcode ?
This i dont not have configured
Update,
I just tested it with the HTML only option, this does not work as well.
Also another Tag that i use in the articles {mosmap} does not work inside a comment as well.
I just figured out that it has to do with the way yvcomments showes the comments.
If i place a link on the site directly to the article that houses the comment (in my case All-Comments/test2.html) the tags do work.

I'm sure, you won't create error-free import script only asking medax702 wrote:This is how it appears in the metadata field in my spreadsheet program if they have a link and an email address:
And this is how it appears if they left the link empty, but specified an email address:
I don't remember also: the answer is in the code of yvComment...
Test and see...

I suggest this approach to know exactly, what is proper format of CVS:dax702 wrote: 2) Do these lines have to be separated by a new line? If so, how do I indicate a new line in the CSV as I can't seem to just press enter?
1. Install yvComment,
2. Create some comments
3. Export e.g. one comment to cvs with available tool (e.g. phpMyAdmin)
4. Change the cvs as this is new comment
5. Try to import the CVS file with the same tool.
6. Repeate steps 3-5 until everything is Ok.
7. When CVS works as intended, use it as an example/template for real import CVS file.
Of cause, yesdax702 wrote: If I use the main content table of Joomla for yvComments, is it possible that having a large number of comments will slow the website down?
The question is: how much the impact will be?
I don't know, but your cvs file will be the same for both tables, so you may test...
