Extension talk:Comments

Workaround to get this on all talk pages ?
Dear, is it possible without too many ressource overload to get this on all talk pages ? What would be a recommended workaround ? Regards. --Thibdx (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Auto refresh page
Hi. This extension is working great! One thing I miss is an auto refresh of the page when you entered a reply to someone else or deleted a comment. - Now, when I reply to another comment, I first need to refresh the page before I can add another reply. - And also, when I delete a comment/reply, the message is still there, till I refresh the page, than it's gone. Should be great if this can be fixed. I was looking into the code already, but can't really find where to add this and how to do that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.174.244.35 (talk • contribs)

Cannot add comments 2.7.2
Same issue as noted below, appearing in version 2.7.2. When I click add nothing happens, can not find any error-messages generated by press of the button - just seems that nothing happens. No data stored in DB-table comments.

Any ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 93.190.196.156 (talk • contribs)


 * Try updating your version of Comments and then looking at your browser's JavaScript console for any and all JS errors. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Cannot add comments
Hi, I just installed the extension but I cannot add the comments. I am using the version 1.8 If I click on add the comment nothing happens. I have the tables and everything looks good on the installation.

Not Working.
I've just installed this in my PC at the localhost, e looks like that it works, but I can't send any comments.

 * This might sound ridiculous, but it vaguely sounds like the same silly problem I just had. I'm assuming you mean the button and forms are there but won't do anything. If you happened to have manually downloaded each file, make sure that Comment.js wasn't saved as Comment.js.txt!! -81.147.29.227 02:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The reason why it probably didn't work was because ResourceLoader messed things up. I've updated the code and now it should be RL-compatible (and it requires MediaWiki 1.18). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:40, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Spam Prevention
Hello before I attempt to install this extension I would like to know if there's any protection against spammers besides administrators going through and deleting each comment. As an example like akismet on wordpress? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 175.239.223.175 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 22 November 2011‎ (UTC)


 * While there are various anti-spam extensions out there, some of which (like ConfirmEdit and SimpleAntiSpam, for example) are used on Wikimedia wikis, Comments currently doesn't support these. However, seeing that ContactPage extension supports ConfirmEdit CAPTCHAs, I believe that it might be relatively easy to add ConfirmEdit support to Comments. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:40, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * thanks for the reply. Thing about captha is that its not very effective these days. I know this a long shot but possible to implement akismet - http://akismet.com/development/  ? Thing works beautifully at least on wordpress! --175.239.243.165 21:12, 7 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I've just tried out QuestyCaptcha and really impressed with it. That works well. Can that possibly implemented for spam prevention? If so definitely will install the extension. --175.239.131.38 23:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki Version 1.18.1 - Delete Comment did not work / Comments of the day
I just test "Comments" - was easy to install but i found 2 "bugs" in my enviroment:

1. The "Delete Comment" Link did not work. i set the rights in LocalSettings.php and have the link at the comments (if i logged in) - but the link ist "red". If i click the link, the page is reloading - but the comment isn't delete. I take a look in the scripts - but i did not find why. I try 3 different Webbrowser (IE / Firefox / Chrome) but is all the same

2. The "Comments of the day" did not work - i think the reason is that i have so social network plugin. i removed the line 94 and 95 and it will work (at this line the script ry to get the avatar and the image of the avatar
 * i have same problem too. i delete this from my database--Hamed.n (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Trouble with Comments on 1.18
I ran into a problem first where Comment.js was saved as Comment.js.txt, but I fixed it. I can not get this to work on MediaWiki 1.18 using WampServer. I tried removing sajax_do_call because I saw it was deprecated and updating the code to use $.get, but I really don't know what I'm doing.

But basically, I got the latest manually, and it isn't working for me on 1.18. If I figure out what's wrong I'll update this topic.

So now I found a problem that I'm still getting a file not found error from ResourceLoaderFileModule: script file not found: "C:\wamp\www\wiki\extensions\Comments/Comment.js"'

Note the non-WINDOWS separator in front of Comment.js

I'll see if hard coding the lines in ResourceLoaderFileModule make a difference.

I fixed it by hard-coding the lines in ResourceLoaderFileModule to use "\\" instead of "/".

COMMENT DELETED
COMMENT DELETED TO PREVENT CONFUSION Khpark87 (talk) 12:48, 6 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Khpark87, I'm glad to see that you're interested in the Comments extension and improving its codebase. What I found strange, however, is that instead of contacting me or anyone else with commit access to svn.wikimedia.org, you decided to fork the code, pack it up as a .rar file and encourage people on this talk page to download your fork instead of the "official" version, so to say.


 * I don't believe in forks most of the time. Sure, sometimes they're necessary, if a project is no longer being maintained, for example. This is not the case with the Comments extension and svn.wikimedia.org in general (although, yes, svn.wikimedia.org will made completely read-only in 2013, by which I need to find a new place for hosting all the social tools and other extensions I've written).


 * It would've been more than preferrable had you tried to contact a developer in the first place to get your changes approved. I, for one, despite by busy schedule, am always interested in patches and making the extension's codebase better.


 * For what it's worth, I've fixed the issue with comment deletion in r115137 &mdash; by using a patch submitted by a user of this extension.


 * I sincerely wish that we can collaborate on this extension in the future instead of causing unnecessary confusion and code duplication. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:10, 10 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for reply. To tell the truth, I was not familiar with Wiki and open source revision system such as SVN, GIT(now I am wating for approving SVN account). After read your comment, I realize that 'fork' is inefficient and Social Profile is maintained by same person, you. Sorry to make it complicated and if you allow, I want to collaborate improving Comments and Social Profile. Khpark87 (talk) 19:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Automatically add to pages
Is there a way to add the comments to every page in the main namespace automatically instead of manually inserting the tag at the end of the article? I'm very new to the backend of MediaWiki, so perhaps there's something I'm missing. &mdash;Topher208 (talk) 21:05, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Will there be a possibility of some kind of moderation in later releases? So anonymous users can post comments without having an account but giving the admin the possibility to accept or refuse comments before publishing them?

Only works once.
Hi, I installed this extension on the 1.19 version of Mediawiki. At first, everything works just fine. But when I post a comment, everything stops working entirely -- and by everything, I'm assuming it's just the Javascript. Basically, once a comment is posted and until I manually refresh the page, neither the delete nor reply functions work. When I hit delete, nothing happens at all. When I hit reply, it simply takes me to the bottom of the page and doesn't activate the reply script. Now, I'm good with PHP, but Js is an absolute foreign land for me, so any help is appreciated.

EDIT: OK, I applied a quick and dirty fix by having the thing reload the page whenever a comment is posted. Now, everything works fine, since the delete and reply functions don't break the script.

EDIT: So, since the refresh thing works, I've tracked everything down to that "ugly" viewComments function. Something it does seems to break everything. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.58.116.24 (talk • contribs)

Do comments cause a watchlist notification?
When someone adds a comment to an article, and users are watching the article, does the added comment produce a watchlist notification? Thanks. Maiden taiwan (talk) 15:00, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I believe it doesn't cause a watchlist notification, but do tell me if I'm mistaken (I haven't ever tested that out to be honest). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * This is a great extension but it is hampered but the inability to generate a watchlist notification. If someone comments on an article, the people on the watchlist and especially the authors are going to want to know that a comment has been posted. Otherwise, the comment does not really add value to the conversation. We've implemented this extension on our company wiki and it is generating negative feedback for this reason. I love the extension but people don't want to have to check their articles manually to see if anyone has commented. Konjurer (talk) 19:36, 20 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Modify CommentClass.php just after $log->addEntry and before wfRunHooks, as shown below. This was tested successfully with MediaWiki 1.21.1.


 * For MediaWiki 1.25 and Comments 4.1.0 --Jaccogeul (talk) 21:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

 * b) to CommentsPage.php add (location not important)


 * This tweak works great (tested with MW 1.25.1 and Comments 4.02). I'm looking for a way to notify a single email address for all comments (without having to watch the page).  Or maybe it would be better to just create a bot account to watch all pages.  Any suggestions? Potrod (talk) 23:06, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Possibly I am missing something, but I receive the following error when attempting to use the extension comments:

Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software.

 * Update your copy of the Comments extension and rerun update.php &mdash; older versions (which also lacked the update.php support) did not have support for $wgDBprefix (the database prefix). In any case, if possible, I'd recommend getting rid of the database prefix in the long run, it's more problematic than anything else in my opinion. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you Jack, that worked for me. I installed the latest stable version and it's working on my MW 1.19. MikeDarling (talk) 01:20, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

My corrections and suggestions
If there are very much comments (they can be added by spam bots), the error may occur due to long-running script. To fix this, need to limit the number of simultaneously displayed comments and add a pager. I implemented it, you can download the my version of the extension from the following page: http://coding.bezslabostei.ru/File:Comments-mw1.21_my-20130828.zip (also there are diff files at the achive).

I also suggest: --SimonLitt (talk) 21:48, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * То spam protection is necessary check the input text for links. Further action will depend on the user's rights.
 * If the user don't have a permission to bypass a check, that should be displayed Captcha.
 * If the user don't have a permission to bypass the pre-moderation, the comment should not appear until it will be approved by the administrator.


 * Hi SimonLitt and thank you for the patch! I recall reviewing this earlier on, and while the code itself was mostly issue-free and the only "problems" I could find were very minor code style nitpicks, the main issue I had with it was the lack of AJAX. Comments uses JavaScript and AJAXy things extensively (whether that's a good or a bad thing is a different debate...) but since your code generates "normal" links, clicking on the pagination links causes the entire page to be reloaded. This not only breaks the "look and feel" of the extension, but it's rather inconvenient for the end-user.


 * That being said, you're absolutely right &mdash; Comments needs proper pagination, it needs anti-spam measures and moderation queue would be also very useful to have. While I don't have the time to work on all of those myself, I'd be happy to assist you and/or any and all other developers who feel like tackling these issues to the best extent of my abilities. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Now I implement fully AJAXy pager. And fix a loop error (thanks うー). You can download the my version of the extension from the following page: http://coding.bezslabostei.ru/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:Comments-d6e0307-my20131107.zip --SimonLitt (talk) 19:01, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again Simon and my apologies for the delay in reviewing your patch! I cleaned it up a bit and submitted to the repository as 99632. Thanks again for your contributions, I'm sure many users will like the new features you added. :-) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:33, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Theoretical bug
Hello,

Jack Phoenix helped me with a problem over at the MediaWiki Support Desk, and he referred me to the source code for this extension as guidance in writing my own. I have written a JavaScript function that was modeled on your function in. In the process of testing my function, I discovered a bug that manifested in my extension, and I suspect it would in yours as well. I have never used your extension or tested this, so this may only be a potential bug. :-)

Here is an excerpt of what I wrote over at the Support Desk:

I've used the function as a model for my own. I found that if I click the toggle link [in my own extension] several times (>10), the toggling takes longer and longer, roughly twice as long each time. Quickly, this brings my browser to its knees.

The problem is that each time the  function is called, a new jQuery event handler is created using. It is appended to the list of existing event handlers. So, for each click, JavaScript is executing, etc., and this list doubles in length with each click.

One way to fix this is to use instead of   in these two lines of code:. Although, since [the Comments] extension is using  instead of   and there are other on-click events associated with , you may need to use  in combination with   instead (see the example here).

I hope you find this helpful!

--Jpgill86 (talk) 15:35, 27 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Jpgill86 and thanks for the detailed report! Talk about a rather obscure bug! I haven't tested that part of the Comments extension extensively, but I'll try to find some time for that and apply your suggested fixed. But in case if I forget, you're more than welcome to apply for developer access and submit a patch on gerrit (and add me as a reviewer for the changeset). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the patch. I'm not sure if this is the cleanest possible approach, but the issue you describe is a very real one and especially inexperienced users might stumble upon it, so fixing it would be very nice.

 * You forgot to create the required database table, as described in the installation instructions (step #2). Make sure you have an up-to-date version of the Comments extension and then rerun maintenance/update.php. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I just installed this on the 1.25.2, but I keep getting this error and the tables were created in the SQL DB. Any ideas?

More level comment
I would more level comment. Example:

Comment1
 * Comment2
 * Comment4
 * Comment5
 * Comment6
 * Comment7
 * Comment3

How can I set this?

Disable avatar, reply and permalink; add delete for poster, sort by username
What's the best way to disable the display of avatar images, and the reply and permalink links?

I'd also like to be able to sort by username as well as date.

Lastly, I'd like to give the poster the ability to delete their comment.

 * As Jack said, those are essential features, but if you really wanted to and had some reason to, you could hide avatars and those different links through CSS by using  on those elements in MediaWiki:Common.css. --GeorgeBarnick (talk) 19:59, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Not showing IPs
On most blogs, commenters have a nickname and the IP is not exposed. I understand anonymous accounts IPs can't be hidden, even if blogs do this (show them as AnonymousUser), for the sake of wiki transparency. But would you be interested in implementing an easy way to register? Eg a comment box, and a nick+password thingie below it, sufficiently interactive for a comment to not get lost if the username already exists. --Gryllida 03:42, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

The only way I could come up with, regarding an implementation, was that of registering a AnonymousCommenter account across all wikis. This extension would log in as it and post for anons. It would log each such action onto a restricted special page where such anons can be blocked — from commenting, not from the wiki — by IP. --Gryllida 05:45, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

user right request
I just wanted to ask, while normally local staff is given the duty to monitor and moderate the community; it still feels wrong to take this away from the blog author. Google Blogger and WordPress both allow the author to moderate. Now, I understand that this may be difficult to do or could be considered by others to be less useful but it would seem logical to put in practice. If someone is willing to, could additional customization be added so that blog authors would be also given this user right?

getTimeAgo Kills Map? #FOUND PROBLEM
First, I love the extension. Exactly what I was working for!

Strange problem though. When comment section is placed after a map, it completely kills the map from loading. I managed to trace the problem down to the ->parse on wfMessage. I changed them to ->text in commentclass.php, and all is working. Would love to hear from someone more knowledgeable if this is a good fix?

Delete own and limit per page
I was wondering if there was a way to allow users to delete or edit their own comments? Also, is there a way to limit a user to only 1 comment per page? Thanks

I am unable to see the comment box in pages other than one page. Only I am able to find the following line instead:

I have the same problem also. More details: Mediawiki 1.23.5 with standard packages (PHP 5.5.9, MySQL 5.5.38). It works on some pages but not others. For example, on my private wiki, it works on: /wikifolder/index.php/User:Usersname but not /wikifolder/index.php/Microsoft_Team_Foundation_Server_(MTFS) Could it have something to do with directory or page names? Oddly it has now stopped working on the page it was working on above. No change to the source. Here is the source =Comments= Put your comments here:

Fatal Error in Category/Page with Comments Extension
Hi my friends.

Yesterday I have been working to fix an issue at my Wiki and finally after some tests I realize that is the Comments Extension that are breaking this.

After an user insert a new comment, or actually, more than one comment the category/page which user had insert the comment break with fatal error, this one:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getMaxIncludeSize on null in C:\xampp\htdocs\wiki-hdti\includes\parser\Parser.php on line 3266

I don't know how to do to fix this. I need the comments extension. Maybe it's parsing all the content and that's why this are happening. Someone have one idea? I was looking for the tag maybe it's correct way?

Thanks until now.

Comment deleted, still in comment log
First, thanks for creating a comment system anyone can comment with on a wiki.

I just had a user ask me to delete his comment after he decided he didn't want his email there.

I have deleted it but noticed the comment is still there in the logs. I don't know how this affects other things but for this purpose, I'd like the log to be deleted too.

Latest Doesnt Work
If I download the master from the mediawiki extension page, the bug with the partially removed columns is still there.

If I download latest from git, the two deprecated columns have been fully removed but I get the following error:

You can download it via Special:ExtensionDistributor, for example &mdash; make sure to pick "master (latest development version)" instead of any branched version, like 1.25 or 1.24 (the branched versions are arbitrarily generated whenever a new major version of MediaWiki is released and I don't maintain those branches, so they are likely to be outdated and buggy; the only combination that I'm able to support is master version of this extension + latest stable version of MW). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:38, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, When I had on a page, it kept displaying a database error, even after the update script. So I displayed the sql error and saw that there were two missing columns : Comment_Plus_Count and Comment_Minus_Count.

Making Extension work with mediawiki 1.23 + Mobile Frontend Extension
First edit Comment.php and make the module mobile friendly, append this code at the end of Comment.php

Not only this, the extension uses the deprecated sajax_do_call which should not be used, you can replace the code in comment.js with following code, for the reference I have only commented out the old code, However this works well with the desktop version of wiki, but with MobileFrontend this will halt your comments extension.(Please be warned it is tested on the version 1.23.9LTS if you are using version above try to use original Comments extension without code modification).

Tiwari.mayank24 (talk) 07:05, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

That being said, I'm glad to see that someone has an interest on social tools on mobile platforms! Alas, I regrettably have very little experience with MobileFrontend, but I'm currently working on making the Vector skin more responsive (see T106463), which will provide a mobile-friendly view of the site even when MobileFrontend isn't available. As a part of this work, I've been testing the various social tools against the skin and fixing issues as I've spotted them. If you're interested in this, you can see both the responsive version of Vector as well as my CSS fixes for various social tools in action on my Labs test wiki. I've yet to commit these CSS fixes to the appropriate source repositories, given that I'm still testing out them, but I expect that by the end of August social tools will be far more responsive and usable on mobile devices. ;-) Comments, suggestions and other feedback is always more than welcome! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:00, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
 * You should update your MediaWiki to the latest stable release of MediaWiki (1.25 branch at the time of writing); any and all other versions of MediaWiki are unsupported (by me), and social tools are guaranteed to work with and have been tested against the latest stable version. I appreciate you taking the time to not only prepare this patch, but to post it here too, but we'll want to encourage users to use a supported, stable setup instead of using old versions.


 * Thank you, I appreciate you providing the suggestion, but I have met some users who use shared hosting or possibly don't have any kind of technical knowledge for upgrading or may be they just wouldn't like to upgrade from any LTS version, for example When I created this patch I was working on 1.23.9 LTS(LTS are long term supported version) so instead of current stable release persnally I prefer long term stable version. Hope this will help someone like me who might be seeking help for this perticular version. And just for the Note, I did looked at the extension version for latest stable release and that gave me Idea of this patch. :) Tiwari.mayank24 (talk) 06:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Feature request
Please allow registered users to edit their comments, which is currently not possible. Cavila 11:38, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Something like "Show More" for long series of comments?
So far I have to say this is a great and simple-to-use extension (thanks!). In forethought of employing it, I thought I might run into some user experience issues if any page was populated by a heavy number of comments. In such a case, the user would (as I see it) have to scroll aaaaalllll the way down to the bottom to reach the comment box.

Any thoughts on addressing this? I think the most common thing I see is to cap off the display to a certain number and allow the user to cycle through more pages, but honestly, I think a temporary fix of even having a link down to the comment box could work until such a matter was developed. Joshkking (talk) 04:43, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Documentation about the avatar in the comments?
It seems to me that the social profile extension is required to make sense of how the avatar is included in each of the comments. Should this be included in the documentation here, or is there some other way for users to alter their avatar which I am missing?

If there's not, it might be worth making a note of using CSS and display to crank those elements off in case users (likely such as myself) want to use this extension stand-alone. Joshkking (talk) 04:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Sementify Comments extension
As the SemanticComments extension is rather unmaintained and your extension is very nice, I'd like to see the feature that the comments are stored using Semantic MediaWiki (if it is present).

Problems when used with Header Footer extension
Hey guys, I'm seeking a little help implementing this extension on my wiki, lostmediawiki.com. If I manually put the tag in an article's code, it works fine, but if I use the Header Footer extension to have it put said code on every page, the code for the post's time displays like this: ' NaN 13 hourss NaN 14 minutess ' instead of '13 hours 14 minutes'. The site's name also doesn't display properly when an anonymous visit browses the page, instead showing ' welcomes all comments. If you do not want to be anonymous, register or log in. It is free.' Do any of you guys know what might be causing this?

One other issue I've been running into is that, while using the current setup as described above, if an article is edited after a comment has been posted on it, it gives the error message 'Fatal error: Call to a member function getMaxIncludeSize on a non-object in /home/wiki/public_html/includes/parser/Parser.php on line 3139'. The only method of remedying this that I have come across is adding '$wgEnableParserCache = false;' to LocalSettings.php, but this, as I've been told, can slow the site down.

I'm still very much a novice when it comes to MediaWiki and I'd be really grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction; cheers.

And would it be possible to add a custom class or an id to the comments of each user so the comments extension would be more customizable in the wiki's CSS and JavaScript stylesheet?

BUG: Allows down-voting despite specifying not to use it.
When using <comments voting="Plus" /> — it is supposed to prevent users from rating comments negatively (thumb down), allowing only positive (thumb up) votes

Currently it only stops the thumb down icon from showing UNTIL you vote for someone. But after you have voted for someone however, it appears.

This then not only allows you to un-vote someone, but it ALSO allows you to down-vote someone, which is what the "Plus" syntax is supposed to prevent.

Shouldn't the desired behavior be a single up arrow (thumb up) that only allows voting/un-voting, and NOT down-voting as well?

search/list comments
