Adding Comments to GroupJive

Written by Steve Burge

Group JiveOk - time to walk the walk.


Yesterday, I praised GroupJive and said how important I though it was for the future of social networking with Joomla. I also mentioned that until this week, not enough people had been contributing.


Today, we'll show you had to add a useful feature to GroupJive - posting comments on all group messages.


This uses Jomcomment from Azrul.com.

Creating the Output

  • Open up components/com_groupjive/groupjive.html.php
  • Scroll down to      // create template output  (around line 276)
  • Look for  $tmpl->addVar( 'showfullmessage', 'GJ_POST', $d->post);
  • After this line add this:

    include_once("mambots/content/jom_comment_bot.php");

        $tmpl->addVar( 'showfullmessage', 'GJ_JOMCOMMENT', jomcomment($d->id, "com_groupjive") );   

Adding the Comments to Your Template

  • Open up components/com_groupjive/templates/your-template/groupjive.tmpl
  • Scroll down to the section saying <mos:tmpl name="showfullmessage">
  • After {GJ_POST} you need to add {GJ_JOMCOMMENT}. If neccesary, add a new table row.

Hi Steve,

your include_once statement uses an absolute path that will probably not work for anybody else ... might be better to use a relative path starting with "mambots/...".

Kind regards,
Zorro

Hi.

Your integration does not seem to work with the newest edition of JomComment (2.2). Are imagning that it might only be a small change in location, but my knowledge of php is very limited. Do you have any suggestions?

Best regard
