Scenario is as described in the title. The recommended plugin for JS activity stream has been modified from BASE to ROOT in order to be compatible with JS 1.8.X. The plugin properly displays the fact that a comment has been made in the main activity stream--however leaves no title or link to the comment itself. Modified plugin attached. [EDIT--HAS BEEN REMOVED. SOLUTION AND CORRECT PLUGINS APPEAR IN ANOTHER POST FURTHER DOWN THE PAGE]

If you want to have title and link you have to create special plugin for JComments (see examples in /components/com_jcomments/plugins).

OK, then I am confused!  A year ago, you posted this plugin and the rules XML here: http://www.joomlatune.com/forum/index.php/topic,559.msg2734.html#msg2734I understand now that "as is" the plugin has no ability to parse the title of the EasyBlog post--but it will not even display the title of the jComments post. I tried this by making a title "required", but unfortunately this causes the plugin to not post any activity at all to the JS stream. So, is this no longer good for anything--and is there any other method that WORKS to at least get the title or some link to the comment into the activity stream? |

OK, this was all sorted out about a month ago--but I had forgotten to upload the proper files.
Attached are the modified JPATH_ROOT activity plugin (jcom_jomsocial_activity_v2.zip), the Jomsocial rules file (jomsocial_rule.zip), and the necessary jComments title inclusion plugin (com_easyblog_jcom_plugin.zip) written by Sam over at Stack Ideas (Easy Blog).
1. Install jcom_jomsocial_activity_v2.zip via the regular Joomla! installer and publish the plugin in the manager.
2. Unzip jomsocial_rule.zip and place the jomsocial_rule.xml file in your /public_html/yourdomainfolder/components/com_jcomments/ folder. Go to your |Components|JomSocial| manager, and click on User Points. Click on "Rule Scan" at the top right and add the jComment rules. Once installed, edit your new rules for the number of points you wish to have.
3. Unzip the com_easyblog_jcom_plugin.zip folder, and place the file com_easyblog_jcom_plugin.php to the folder /public_html/yourdomainfolder/components/com_jcomments/plugins/
That's all there is to it. Complete jComments/EasyBlog/JomSocial activity stream integration. If you want the "FULL EFFECT" with JomSocial avatars included in the comments, use the installer to load the plugin plg_jcomments_avatar_j15_v3.1.zip, configure the plugin to extract avatars from JomSocial, and publish it!

Thanks Smart! From the looks of it from download count this is of interest to many! I went back and edited the entry, adding the Avatar coupling file as well, along with instructions on how to install it. This pretty well does it--and helps users get a single, unified commenting system running amongst the various components that a publisher might have installed. A word of note using jComments with EasyBlog. The integration DOES NOT update the EB Dashboard with the number of comments made to a blog post, or provide extracts of the comments made to the user's various blog entries. Sam said that this is a consideration that will be looked at in future releases of EasyBlog. See this topic here: http://stackideas.com/forum/index.php?f=18&t=564&rb_v=viewtopicOtherwise, have fun with this solution. Every time we as users find something that really works, or a solution to an issue, or anything else--we need to post it for others! P |

I have installed all the files mentioned in this thread but within the activity stream of Jomsocial (2.03) some activities are shown without the name of the original name of the topic:
e.g.
"test added a new comment on the"
then the link is missing.....any idea / help for me?

Horst, what component is not showing the title? E.G., activities in JS, jComment, or something else?

I have installed some components from corejoomla.com. Some of them are working others not - that means JComments is working, an activity stream is available, but without a link. Hope my English is good enough to understand what I mean...

If you look in your /components/com_jcomments/plugins/ directory, you will see that things that will post titles and links from jComments to the JS activity stream all have a plugin to do that. I don't see anything for Corejoomla apps. You will need to do one of four things--convince the good folks here to write one for the Corejoomla app that is not included; go on the Corejoomla support boards and see if they will write one; hope that some other user sees this thread and has written one (or might); or write one yourself.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but I don't use any of their components...

Thanks a lot for your quick answer - so I think it's an issue of the corejoomla components because some of them are working.....I will post in in their support forum and see.... |

Yes and no. It's actually a jComments issue--as it is jC that requires a plugin to make individual components integrate properly in the activity stream. Ultimately though, the way that everyone writes apps to their own functional library and script liking makes this necessary.
One cannot expect to find a plugin or hack to every component out there. It's actually a wonder that as many are able to play together as what we see now--but of course the more one loads on their J! installation, the less likely that even ones that play "nicely" will continue to do so without problems.
This becomes the question, of whose interest it is in to write integrations--the developer of software A, or the developer of software B. At the end of the day though, it is a plugin for jComments that is required--not JomSocial. They are still peddling their old and tired JomComments so not much interest will be drummed up from them...

Has anyone got it working?
