There are many comment (not so many to joomla 1.5) extensions for joomla! and that are even more extensions with some kind of comments system, since comments are almost a requisite of web 2.0, So Insted of developing a comments system for JMultimedia ive stated to develop a generic Comments component for joomla.
Its already working and you can test it here or download to see all features. you may say that the interface is ugly (I will agree), but the good news is that, ITs VERY EASY TO CHANGE! This simplicity for designer is archived because it is implemented using Joomla! MVC framework. Once UniComments was ready, I've add comments to JMultimedia writing only 2 lines of code!
<?php
CommentsHelper::showList($this->item);//Display Comments List
CommentsHelper::showForm($this->item);//Display Comment Form
?>
This can also be done to any component with the basic joomla standards, to be more specific your component must have 2 prerequisites:
- The "items" table of your component must have the same name as your component folder, example: if you component is "com_yourcomp" then the main table of your component must be "#__yourcomp".
- Your component primary key must be an Integer called "id"
So, to get UniComments working you just need to install/enable the last version of com_unicomments and plg_comments. click to download. You can add comments to your content Articles by writing any where on the page, the plugin will do the rest for you.
