Ok, I have a tried to search for an answer on the forums, but nothing relates to what I need.
What I am wondering is how can a user respond to a user comment (directly)?
I.e User X leaves a comment in the video publisher video page;such as “i really like your video”, Now the publisher of that video wants to reply directly to that user comment, or add plus +1 (like) to that user comment.

Now on the profile area of the publisher (member) wall it looks like the user can comment on each other, post directly to each others comments. But when in the video area itself there is nothing for that publisher to comment, or like (+1), the other members (user X) who has commented on the video.

The above photo is in the profile page of the publisher, as you can see a User (x) can comment, and the publisher can respond directly to the User X comment.
But below is a screen shot of the video (page) itself with non of the above options.



Maybe I overlooked a setting somewhere, or it might be a minor change.

Just a recap. I want to tell the publisher of the video “I like your video”, then that publisher can comment on my comment in the video area; such as”hey thanks USER X I am working on a follow up video”

Hi, Kobe W.

It is designed to work that way. Activity stream and video wall are different places that use different libraries.
I was talking to product owner and this will be unified in future releases.

Michal ,thanks for taking the time to reply. Do you know if this is planned for the next release? Which I believe is next month?
The reason I ask is my site is still in beta and my members ( tester) are asking for the feature. The sooner I have the option better the better, so I can have my beta tester try it out.

Can I use some like what I have below in the video page of the user videos?
This is from: activities.actions.php
$my = CFactory::getUser();
$allowLike = !empty($my->id);
$allowComment = ($my -> authorise('community.add','activities.comment.'.$this->act->actor, $obj) );
$showLocation = !empty($this->act->location);

and this is from : activity.wall.post.php
<?php echo $comment; ?>


Once again thanks for the ongoing amazing support!

I have a question about that next release that relates to my issue.
According to the blog ( www.jomsocial.com/blog/jomsocial-311 ) it says "Likes on comments" will this apply to comment on the user video page, or is this something else?

Will this also include responding to the user comment directly on the publisher video page?

I also caught something on the demo video for the next release. it's around the 1:20 mark on this video:

Maybe its me and my pipe dream but it looks like the user can comment and like, as well as let someone comment on their comment?

Hi, Kobe W.

1. It will apply to activity stream comments.
2. You still be able to comment under video on video page.
3. Yes, users are able to comment comments and like them.

All this features you can test by yourself here: www.jomsocial.com/community :)

OK, so I am testing the 3.2_RC_01 on my site. I notice the @ mention work when posting status updates. But, there is still no way to @ mention within a video comment post (comments within the videos). I was hoping the new RC would address this.

Is there any way I can have the @mention work withing the comments of the video posting?
Is there something I can do with the newer code? Or any way a dev can help me with my issue.

Once again I notice the @ mention works for status updates but I really need this feature to work within the comments of videos.

Thanks!

HI, Kobe W.

I'll ask product owner if @mentions will be fully functional also in video comments.

EDIT:

Here is product owner response:

"Comments for photos and videos are "done" with Wall library, which is not the same as "Activity stream" library

there are several possible scenario's to tackle this

1. Add more bloat and implement the same thing in Wall library = more development, more mess in the code

2. Remove "Wall" library and use activity stream and comments for everything, everywhere, and basically, implement this with minimal effort

That being said, no, the tagging will not work anywhere on "Walls"

Walls = old commenting system built from jomsocial 1.0 which is in no way compatible with activity stream

My personal preference for 3.3 is to remove wall library altogether"

Michal, so if i remove the library will that remove all comments?
If I wanted to remove the library what would I need to do? I may have to test things out by removing the library and see what my beta tester think of the system. If they don't like it I can revert back. I would just need to know what needs to be removed/added/

Thanks once again for taking the time to look into this issue.

Hi, Kobe W.

Well, this will be not easy to change. It involves rebuilding commenting system for Photos and Videos. Simply removing library will crash whole system as class calls will be void.

I advise to wait for JomSocial 3.3.

Hi, Kobe.

We have not received any response back from you in over 7 days, and would like to know if you consider this issue to be resolved. If you have any further questions, simply reply to this post.

Sorry about the delay on this topic.
o it seems there is no real way to address my issue?
I was hoping the latest release would have fixed my issue, but it seems it has not.
Any chance of having this in the future release?
Other then this issue my members seem to love all that is offered with this product.

Thanks!

Hi, Kobe.

PO told me that comment walls will be unified in JomSocial 3.3.
So or you'll hire developer to customize it for you... or you'll wait for JS3.3
