Category: Comment

Comments can be used on wiki pages, blog posts, etc

There is Spam protection (CATPCHA) but nothing against trolls.

A comment moderation feature would be nice.

I was logged in as admin and tried to post a comment to an article. I typed in a title and comment then pressed "Post as Anonymous." The page that comes up has no css, and at the bottom it says:

Fatal error: Call to a member function generate() on a non-object in /templates_c/en^%%C6^C6E^C6EF0FD6%%antibot.tpl.php on line 28.

The comment goes through fine.

\db\tiki.sql 548:
CREATE TABLE `tiki_comments` ... `archived` char(1) default NULL, ..
\lib\comments\commentslib.php 1337:
if ($prefs['comments_archive'] == 'y' && $tiki_p_admin_comments != 'y') {
$conditions['archived'] = 'n';
}
unarchived comments have `archived` = NULL, not 'N'

Showing a comment to a blog entry that has been posted the same day, only the time when the comment was posted is displayed. We use the German translation of TikiWiki, but the English "at" in "at 12:34" is display, not the German "um".
After having a look into the code, it seems the translation function is not called in lib/smarty_tiki/tiki_short_datetime.php

5x: tracker comments should allow self-subscribe option for poster, like in forum posts or page comments. Right now, lost of interaction and feedback is lost for users until they learn how to subscribe to tracker items....

That was the same problem in forum posts for years, until some one added that feature to forum posts and wiki comments...
However, it seems that tracker item comments didn't benefit from that enhancement.... and honestly, they deserve it...

UPDATE:
* Still a very much desired feature in MANY tiki sites (including *.t.o sites). {sign user="xavi" datetime="2013-11-17T09:30:58+00:00"}
* Still a wish...{sign user="xavi" datetime="2014-07-13T10:00:49+00:00"}
* Still a wish (many years later). Sniff ... {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-06-28T08:55:07+00:00"}

Gorgeus, fixed, Victor! Thanks! (tested in tracker comments, and adapted the profile "Bug_Tracker_15" to allow commenting by registered to easily test/debug this issue also in the future (or in other branches). {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-11T17:21:14+00:00"}

Update: {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-11T17:38:28+00:00"}
* emails are duplicated if the user was also selected in a "user selector" type of field, with notifications on. We should check that no duplication of emails is sent: one as commenter, and another one duplicated as user selected in the "user selector" field with notifications on.
See it reproduced in the show instance:
2 emails have been sent in some cases:
http://xavi-9794-3214.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-syslog.php
u: admin
p: 12345

* Tracker item commented:
+ http://xavi-9794-3214.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=5
* see email corresponding to each user:
+ http://xavi-9794-3214.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-adminusers.php
* see tracker field definition:
+ http://xavi-9794-3214.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-admin_tracker_fields.php?trackerId=1
** note last 3 fields, all of them user selector with email notification on.
---
Update {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-13T10:40:17+00:00"}
In addition, other systems maybe sending a duplicate of the same email message (see https://doc.tiki.org/Watch ), and we'd better add a system to prevent those duplicated emails to be sent.
To be checked for duplicates (and remove them before sending):
# generic (wildcard-like) user watches through the "__My Watches (UI) > Add Watch > Event__"
# Objects
** user watches on objects
** group watches on objects
# Categories
** user watches on categories
** group watches on categories
# Structures
** user watches on structures
** group watches on structures

I'm usure about category watches. Maybe we can leave those messages also, since they are not 100% equivalent to the other notification emails?
---
Sure, see comments. Issue fixed. {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-10-14T10:13:36+00:00"}
And duplication of emails was due to some other issue, fixed by kroky6 also (great, thanks!).

I've been thinking for ages that this kind of option is REALLY needed, and I thought it should not be much coding effort:

Automonitoring each own's posts, through either:
# Add a select box to monitor each own's forum post or tracker submission at post time, in a "per forum post or tracker item insertion" basis, or
# with a user preference for all forums, or all trackers, blogs, etc..
---
Still needed...

Add ip to syslog and/or action log, so that when anons (at least) are allowed to add content and it's spam (robots seem to be able to post with our current antibot captcha), there is way to identify the ip of the spammer.

So far, antibot captcha is added (in trunk, at least) to:
* wiki edit
* wiki page comments
* forum posts
* tracker item comments
* freetags
* calendar items
* newsletter subscription

The action of adding content on those features should be logged in syslog and/or action log and IP recorded.

tiki-list_comments.php does not parse comments in column "Comment", regardless of whether section_comments_parse ("Parse wiki syntax in comments in all sections apart from Forums") and feature_forum_parse (Accept Wiki syntax) are enabled.

This is a regression from r20794 / r22511.

I want to enable comments on wiki pages.

I have two options right now, both have advantages and disadvantages.

Enabling comments on pages

* Pros
o Easy to configure
o Comments are visible directly on the page
* Cons
o No way for people to monitor all posts on the site. Often people post a comment on a a page and never get feedback.


Associating a discussion forum thread to each page

* Pros
o Everyone on the site gets to see every posting that's made on any page. Increases the likelyhood that someone will respond to a post.
* Cons
o More difficult to configure.
o Postings are not visible directly on the page.

It would be nice if we could have the best of both.

What I would like is something where:

* A discussion forum for the wiki can be enabled at a single click of the mouse.
* This single click of mouse would result in threads being a
utomatically created on this mailing list for each of the wiki pages
* The top 5 messages for a given page would be displayed directly on that page.

Blog post comments are often overlooked by the blog owner, because the owner doesn't get notification of blog posts. I propose we add the option of getting notified when someone comments on your blog.

To be able to add a comment to an existing calendar item.

I have a comment on a wiki page. When I click Reply to post a follow-up comment, I get an error. It looks like the Reply button is generating a bad URL:

__Not Found

The requested URL /mywiki/page=IVR_Revitalization&post_reply=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_reply_threadId=5&comments_offset=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&comments_per_page=20&comments_grandParentId=0&comments_parentId=5&thread_style=commentStyle_plain was not found on this server.__

This would be a show stopper using Tiki threaded comments is very important feature requirement for us.

Thanks,

Paul

The first time any user comments on a wiki page, the edit new comment box opens too small to be usable. It can be expanded in Chrome or Firefox if the user isn't too confused.

Once there is a comment, the edit new comment box opens at the proper size.

I have a notification set up for all comment changes on * for admin.

I get NO such notifications, ever. Email is working fine, as I get notifications of new users, and my "user notification" watch worked before I disabled it.

I have "approve comments" on - is it possible that notifications don't go out if that is on? Ideal behavior would be an email for every notification with "approve", "reject", or "delete" links in the email, like typepad does.

Comments added on a tracker item are not noticed on tab (color, number, ...)

For instance: [http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=97&show=view&status=op&trackerId=5&sort_mode=f_41_desc&filterfield=26&filtervalue[26]=check|this tracker item] has at least one comment, but when viewing tracker detailed information, there is not information on the "comments" tab of the tracker item (not any pinky color, and/or number of comments on that specific tracker item...), so that it's difficult for a reader to notice that there where comments added....

Hello,
I recognized this some month ago but could not figure out what was going wrong. Now I thought I got it, but this seems to be a wrong trace. Hope you can help me. When I remove a comment the remove_comment method in comments lib is invoked. This runs:
$query = "delete from `tiki_comments` where `threadId`=? or `parentId`=?";
So far every thing is okay I think. But in a way I can't recover the comments dissapear. I do not use any prune... option. I don't think that any other admin does delete comments. What is going wrong there. I started some logs but still no idea.

There should be a setting to allow comments to be editable, by user and/or admin.

When any user creates a comment for an image gallery all users with the since_last_visit_new module active will not be able to access the site. Instead they will receive this error message:

Notice: Undefined index: list in /hsphere/local/home/stdiddl/breakingpaint.com/BP2/modules/mod-since_last_visit_new.php on line 87

{CODE(caption=Excerpt_from_line_86)} if (!isset($perm) || $userlib->user_has_perm_on_object($user,$res['object'], $res['objectType'], $perm)) {
if ($ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["href"])
$ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["href"] .= '&comments_show=y#threadId'.$res['threadId'];
$ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["title"] = $tikilib->get_short_datetime($res["commentDate"]) ." ". tra("by") ." ". $res["userName"];
$ret["items"]["comments"]["list"][$count]["label"] = $res["title"];
$count++;{CODE}

Recreating the problem:
#Enable comments for image galleries in Admin>general
#Enable the module since_last_visit_new
#Create an image gallery if one does not already exist
#view an image gallery and post a comment

It is now possible to comment a file gallery. However, it would be more useful to be able to comment an individual file.

For example, someone uploads an audio or videoclip, others could comment.

suggestion by Yannick Boily

It is now possible to comment an image gallery. However, it would be more useful to be able to comment an individual image.

For example, to identify who are the people on the photo.

suggestion by luciash d' being aka Lukáš Mašek

For wiki pages, we have this option. It would be nice to port to comments so we could open our blogs to anonymous comments without getting spammed.

In comments (on wiki pages for example), there is a bar:

Style: Sort: Threshold: Search:


This seems like clutter when there are only a few comments.


Suggestion:
Only have this bar if number of comments is high enough that a comment pagination is needed (ex.: 10)

comzone, the cookie that save the show/hide of comments on tikiWiki pages, isn't being updated properly. Once comments are shown they remain shown.

To reproduce the issue, follow the following instructions:
- activate comments for you TikiWiki page, through your admin controls
- Open a new session of your web browser. I'll assume you're using Firefox from now on
- Navigate to one of you wiki pages
- Scroll down to the bottom of your wiki page
~ Notice how the 'Post New Comments' comments section is hidden
- Click the link to add comments and make the 'Post New Comments' visible
- In Firefox, select Tools-> Options. Go to the privacy section and click on Show Cookies. Search for your site or site subdomain (type the first letter of the domain or subdomain to jump to that letter) where your tikiWiki is. Expand the folder and search for comzone. Notice that comzone is set to 'o'. Close out the cookies and option window.
- Browse to another page on your tikiWiki site and scroll down to the bottom of the page
- Notice that the 'Post New Comments' section is still visible
- Click on the add comment link to collapse the comments section.
~ At this point the comzone cookie should have changed.
- Check on the content of comzone and see if it is something other than 'o'. You will find that it doesn't change.
- Delete the comzone cookie and refresh the wikipage and you'll see that comments get hidden.

I replied to a comment in the page WikiPedia. At that moment, there were already two comments. When I published my comment, the two other comments disappeared. The page still says there are three comments, but My browser can only see either zero or one (mine)

Folks would probably use external wiki abbreviations more if they and their full equivalents were displayed on the editing screen. Even better if there were an explanation of what they are for, how to use them. Maybe a tooltip?

for users with tiki_p_wiki_view_comments perm only, it displays the ~np~[comment]~/np~ link on the wiki page bar even when no comments there yet to read, so clicking it does literally nothing...

This improvement in Tiki would be very welcome. After spammers add noise to your site (in one day, 10 comments to different places in your tiki from 10 different ip's!), it would be nice if there was the chance that the tiki admin can ban all those 10 ip's with a minimum number of clicks (besides removing many spam comments at once, which can be done already).

This is some possible way to add if (from the interface point of view):

{img src=img122}

Self explicative?
User selects multiple checkboxes, and clicks on some button below which sends all that information (those ip's from those comments) to fill admin banning data (storing the data already for the 10 ip's at once).
Alternatively, one by one, prefilling the interface one by one.

{img src=img123}

tiki-list_comments.php shows up blank even though I have comments. This only happens in 1.10 when I set my feature preferences to 1.10 feature styles instead of 1.9 feature styles. Do I need to run an db update if I switch? PHP errors shows:

Tiki 1.9.x forums have improved nicely over the last few months. One more thing to make them cleaner is to make the default threading to plain.

Let's face it, it looks cleaner :-)

In forums:

Topics are first level (discussion starters)
Message are replies. This uses the same code as comments (used in wiki pages, image gallery, etc) and has threading.

In 1.9.x, an admin can move a reply to another topic. This is of limited use. It is as if the admin decides "Your answer is more suited to another question"...

What would be much more useful:
To change a topic (and all threaded replies) to another forum.

So an admin could start with one general forum, and create more specific forums if/when the volume of messages justifies it. Right now, the admin has to plan all these forums in advance. And a list of empty forums is not very inviting...

If someone starts a thread in the wrong forum, it should be easy to correct.

Nowadays the voting on forums is confusing in educational or e-democracy scenarios, since it's not easy to understand why a voting of ! makes just 0.40, or a voting of 5 make 1.60, etc. as it may happen nowadays, since voting on forums seems to be linked to karma or score system.

There should be an option to unlink them, so taht a vote of 1, makes 1, and an option of 5 makes 5 to be included in the mean which is shown at the end on the rate value.

In tables
tiki_comments, tiki_history, tiki_pages, tiki_tags tiki_user_voting
the column IP is too short (varchar 15) for IPv6 logging

In tables
tiki_actionlog, tiki_download, tiki_logs the column IP is very big (too big ?) varing from 39 to 200 char . In tiki_download the IP cloumn is in UPPERCASE (may be problem with some Mysql installation)

In tables
tiki_banning
the IP is split in three columns . so we can't bann an IPv6

Tiki-8.2 Wikipage: Comments --> Post new comment

I've enabled the option "Admin Home>Comments>Comments below wiki pages>Display by default" but I still need to click on the "comments" button at the bottom of the wiki page to see or post a comment

There are two options in comment configuration page naming the same -- "Default number per page:".

It seems that they are on control of the same thing. I have to modify the both otherwise my setting will not be applied.

Forum replies are difficult to read because there is no indentation when using theme TheNews on v6.7 (also affected version 4.3)

Using Firebug with Firefox v12.x established that the style value "padding-left" is set as follows ...
~pp~
#tiki-centre div 2px from thenews.css line 382 which reads #tiki-centre div { padding: 3px 2px; }
Over rides
.sub_comment 20px from layout.css line 1539 which reads .sub-comment { padding-left: 20px; }
~/pp~

We also notice that the vertical alignment could be improved upon.

Following patch has been applied via Admin -> Look & Feel - - Custom CSS and is being successfully used on our v6.7 system.

Comments to tracker items can be very a useful way to gather ideas, code snippets, links, etc. from the community regarding an a problem or an idea.

It would therefore seem to be natural to include tracker comments in search - otherwise there is a risk of losing valuable community contributions in a black hole of tracker comments.

Tracker comments should of course be included in "Entire Site", and maybe even have their own search category.

I have set feature_comment_moderation=y, so new comments are invisible until approval, but they are shown as new comments on the since_last_visit_new module. So if user clicks on this link they come to the page where the comment was made (currently only tested with blog comment, but should be the same with other comments), and don't see this new comment.
I've no idea if this also affects coming version 4, only working with v3.2

Please see:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/wiki/feature:nofollow
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html

Most of the time, comments (or forum threads) have less than 10 comments. Therefore, this box is not useful, and clutters the User Interface.

Setting post comment category permissions doesn't work
Case:
1) Assign global anonymous allowed to post comments
2) Create a category NoAnonymousComments
3) Set the permissions for this category so only registered users can post comments
4) Create a wiki page "a comment test" and assign it to the category NoAnonymousComments
5) Log out
6) Look at the wiki page "a comment test"
The anomymous user can see and post comments

Seems like category permission to post comments is ignored and only the global setting is applied.

When you use the plugin QUOTE, the user you reply not appear automatically in the Post new message box, and you have to introdude it manually

Here are some options

http://bad-behavior.ioerror.us/
http://antispam.typepad.com/
http://www.defensio.com/
http://mollom.com/

See: ((Spam Protection))

Similar to ((doc:PluginAnnotation)) for images.

This would make it easier for people to know who added what comment, when and to distinguish the main content, from notes.

Similar to ((doc:PluginMouseOver)), but should be easier to use.

I put it on Prio 2 (how important is spelling???)
In tiki-setup.php and other files
the word thresold is used to refer to threshold
this is obviously a spelling error and happens also in the same file for comments_thresh?old

apart from those two thresold only appears in some comments, all of which can be changed without affecting functions.

(egrep -rn thresold /tikiDirectory/)

When user has spaces in their name they can`t use messaging system
try "test user" as username

When you configu. a forum without the option to vote threads, the comments on forums threads allow users to rate them still. And they shouldn't.

The same even if score system is toggled off from active features.

When clicking a link to answer (re) a comment (at least on blog), the comment section colaps.

Answear a comment on a blog, and all text magically disapair as the comment area colaps.

"The conversion seems to have dropped comments, on 1.8 the front page used to say it had 80+ comments, now on 1.9 it says 53."


I think no comments were dropped, it's the count which is different. Only first level comments are counted.

Wiki syntax is not enabled in Tracker comments on this site. May be usability bug in later Tiki versions.
