Jcomment as Community Builder Profilebook

[Fletsch]

Hi all

Is it possible to use JComments as CB Profilebook? I want that users can leave comments on profiles with JComment. Alternative to the Profilebook Tab or just at the bottom of the profile site. Should be a similar Integration like in other 3th party components I think. But I don't get it to work, becaus i'm to bad in php. Would be a verry cool integration an di'm sure it is done in a few minutes for someone who can code.

Okey i tried this one and it works.

Code:

global $mosConfig_absolute_path;;
$comments = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';
if (file_exists($comments))
require_once($comments);
$return .= JComments::showComments($user->id, 'com_comprofiler');

Can someone explane me this line please?:

Code:

JComments::showComments($user->id, 'com_comprofiler');

What are the variables normaly set before and after the component name (com_comprofiler)?
What are they used for? Now I just inserted $user->id and i think thats the profile id. Shoud I set something for the second variable?

Anyway it works so far.

Now I want to link the usernames of a comment to the CB profile. Is there any solution?

Havn't tried this yet but lloks promising.  So you can actually have a JComments tab that functions like CB profilebook?  Can someone please confirm before I get to work on this.

Yes it would be promising. But I forgot, that only writers can delete their own comments. To use JComments as a real Profilebook alternative the profileowner should also be able to delete comments made on his profile. So if anyone would find a solution for that right management it would be a cool alternative. but so long you can't use jcomments as profilebook on cb.

any news on this?

Hi,
I've came to same idea as you guys and solved it.
It requires small changes in component's code so the owner of the profil can delete any comments on his profile.

EDIT: I've published a package with this solution so there's no need to quote the code of plugins on forum:)



And the changes in component's code I've mentioned is in jcomments.class.php about line 256:

Code:

function canDelete($obj)
{
return (($this->canDelete || ($this->canDeleteOwn && ($obj->userid == $this->userID)))
&& (!$this->isLocked($obj))) ? 1 : 0;
}

make it look like this:

Code:

function canDelete($obj)
{
return (($this->canDelete || ($obj->object_id == $this->userID && $obj->object_group == 'com_comprofiler')
|| ($this->canDeleteOwn && ($obj->userid == $this->userID)))
&& (!$this->isLocked($obj))) ? 1 : 0;
}

Thanks much KejeN.

But as my knowledge of joomla and php generally is a bit limited could you just give more specific info as to where the codes of cb plugin and jcomments plugin should be inserted to have this working. I tried different things but have not gotten anything to work.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your speedy reply.

Hi,
Download this package
Unzip it and follow this instruction (placed also in READ_ME file in package) :
Quick instruction:

1. Paste file 'com_comprofiler.plugin.php' placed in dir: 'Jcomments plugin' to Jcomments plugin dir: '\components\com_jcomments\plugins' - We gotta do it by ftp client.

2. Instal CB plugin(CB_koment-tab_by_Jcomments.zip) placed in dir: 'CB plugin' by CB's instalator.

3. To allow profile owner delete any comment on his profile yo must edit file 'jcomments.class.php' which is placed in Jcomments frontend dir: \components\com_jcomments. Find about 256 line function 'canDelete' ,which looks like this:

Code:

function canDelete($obj)
{
return (($this->canDelete || ($this->canDeleteOwn && ($obj->userid == $this->userID)))
&& (!$this->isLocked($obj))) ? 1 : 0;
}

Remember to save a copy of orginal file before editing in case of any problems.Edit this function with for example Notepad++ to look like below :

Code:

function canDelete($obj)
{
return (($this->canDelete || ($obj->object_id == $this->userID && $obj->object_group == 'com_comprofiler')
|| ($this->canDeleteOwn && ($obj->userid == $this->userID)))
&& (!$this->isLocked($obj))) ? 1 : 0;
}

4. Now turn on instaled in 2nd point Cb plugin and publish tab created by it.

That's all. If everything done correctly you have Cb profile comments tab by Jcomments.

The weak point of this solution is that you will have to edit jcomments.class after every update of component..

Thank you so much KejeN.
I will get right on it.

Hi KejeN,

It works great, thanks very much...

For a better privacy, just wanna ask how to make only 'CB Connections' can leave a comment...and if possible, a notification on a new comment into PMS uddeim...

This might be too late for this thread but i found a solution. I integrate Jcomment in CB Profile as well as other 3rd party component. Here is the code for com_comprofiler.plugin.php

Code:

class jc_com_comprofiler extends JCommentsPlugin
{
     function getTitles($ids)
{
$db = & JCommentsFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery( "SELECT CONCAT(username,'\'s Profile') AS title FROM #__users WHERE id IN (' . implode(',', $ids) . ')" );
return $db->loadObjectList('id');
}
function getObjectTitle($id)
{
$db = & JCommentsFactory::getDBO();
$db->setQuery( "SELECT CONCAT(username,'\'s Profile') AS title FROM #__users WHERE id = $id" );
return $db->loadResult();
}
 
function getObjectLink($id)
{
$_Itemid = JCommentsPlugin::getItemid( 'com_comprofiler' );
$link = JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=viewprofile&user='.$id.'&Itemid='. $_Itemid );
return $link;
}
 
}

And to show Jcomment at the bottom of CB Profile ,I insert this code to the end of static function userProfile . The function is located in comprofile.html.php

Code:

        $uid = urldecode( stripslashes( cbGetParam( $_GET, 'user', '' ) ) );
$comments = JPATH_SITE . DS .'components' . DS . 'com_jcomments' . DS . 'jcomments.php';
if (file_exists($comments)) {
require_once($comments);
$cuser =& JFactory::getUser($uid);
//echo $uid.'------'.$cuser->name.'<br/>'; //ok
$title = $cuser->username."'s Profile.";
echo JComments::showComments($uid, 'com_comprofiler', $title);
       }
