Facebook style comments

[plancast]

Hi,  Is there anyway to create a facebook style comments area without the need to be a member of another social media product?

Thanks,

Chris

Adding facebook comments to coppermine (even facebook like works with Andre's code from the thread):

Socialshare Plugin - New Version - Now with Facebook Comments: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,73977.0.html

Social Sharing Plugin (Facebook Like/FB Share/FB Comments/Twitter/VZ zeigen):  http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,70221.0.html

Facebook Login Plugin:  http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,65943.0.html

There are many other facebook plugins if you search the plugins.

What exactly do you mean?

Hi Allvip,

Something like we are posting on now but for each image - except each thread is specific to the image posted. Also, being able to reply directly to a specific comment rather than just a list of comments, so a discussion around the image could take place.  Hope that makes sense.  I will look at the link above - thanks.

The first link I posted in my first reply adds facebook comments with reply.
Each image has her own comments and replies to comments. Users have to login with their Facebook, Yahoo or Google account.

I belive the plugins works the same way.

That's what I don't want.  I want the ability to make it work like the facebook comments but not require any social media access to do it..

I see.

As far as I know there's currently no mod or plugin which adds such a feature. But I think it could be added quite easily. You need to add an additional button next to each comment, so you can post your new comment in relation to it. Then, you need to submit the "parent" comment ID to the database and store it in a new field of the new comment. Of course you'd also need to adjust the code which displays the comments. The main challenge is probably the pagination of comments. I suggest to disable comment pagination completely, for simplicity reasons.

I suggest to have a look at the BBCode control plugin, as it already adds button to each comment. So you get an idea where to start. If you need specific help, don't hesitate to ask.

You may want to take a look at this plugin ( http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,70221.0.html ), then enabling Disqus and granting comments to guests, so that they don't need to be member of a third party social network.
By enabling Akismet, you'll prevent spam, too.

Thanks all.  I will look at these..

Hi flapane,

Would you mind letting me know what setting you put to enable these comments on your site.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi flapane,

The problem I see is that everyone still needs to be subscribed to Disqus and the comments come up as their Disqus ID and not the login ID from my site.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Should be quite simple to use.

Hi Phill,

What I have been trying to do is create a comments system like facebook (and all the others for that matter) but without the need for having third party social media accounts.  Also with the usual email to person whose comment has been replied to etc.  The reason being that many of the people my site will be aimed at will not have social media accounts and will not want to be forced to do so.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Chris

I get what you are asking for now. It would take quite a bit of coding to create a threaded comment system but I do think it may be a good idea for a future release. It could be built as a plugin for the current system but as I said, it would need quite a bit of work.

Alternatively, this little package should be quite simple to integrate into coppermine.

Oh, I see, so you need the users to use the login data from your site.
It should be possible to do so using SSO, have a look at https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/questions/6118245-using-my-own-log-in-system-with-disqus-commenting-system-

I haven't tried it by myself, tho.
