Re: [development] comments as nodes
This is very interesting. I'm currently using the userreview module instead of fivestar, even though I'd prefer a star rating, because it lets you comment and rate at the same time. I'm interested in trying your approach, but I'm concerned about totally replacing the comment module. Have you run into any problems with things that use comments such as forums? Especially when using flatforum? I'm getting totally off topic for the dev list... If you prefer, I could file an issue with my question. Or you can email me directly if you don't mind doing that. This sounds really cool, but I'm nervous about replacing a core module like that. Michelle On 6/4/2007 10:56:52 AM, Robert Douglass (rob@robshouse.net) wrote:
One of the most useful applications that this module has found is also the impetus for its creation: voting widgets in the comments that vote on the parent node. I'm creating a site, for example, where the comments are all ratings of the parent node, and each comment needs to have four separate fivestar widgets. To do this, the comment node type has four CCK fields from the fivestar module where the target of the voting is set as arg(1)... meaning the fields belong to the comment nodes but the votes belong to the parent node. Very cool.

Michelle There is a currently unreleased forum replacement module (only does flat forum style, no threaded comments supported) which can handle the forum needs. Bug merlinofchaos, mfredrickson, or eaton to get that released!

Actually, check out Node Review (http://drupal.org/project/nodereview) -- it is built along the same lines as what Robert has described, but specifically for ratings / reviews. If you don't want to replace ALL comments....us that one. Yes, userreview and nodereview should probably be merged. I trust nodereview because Larry wrote it.... -- Boris Mann Office 604-682-2889 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
