PrevProcessWire core updates (2.5.10)
This week a new configuration method was added that enables you to modify most of ProcessWire's configuration settings directly in the admin. More
In the coming weeks, several upgrades are on the way for comments in ProcessWire thanks to the sponsorship support of update AG. This week we implemented the first one:
Threaded Comments
Previously our comments system supported only a flat/chronological layout. It still supports that, but now you can have the option of enabling threaded comments in your comment field settings. If you are using the current ProcessWire dev branch, you'll see it as the "Reply Depth" option in the comments field configuration.
I made a couple demo threads in the comments section on this page for you to preview. Feel free to reply there if you'd like to test it out. (If we get some real comment threads going, I'll delete the demo ones). If you decide to use this on your own site, please consider the feature in alpha test state and let us know how it works for you. Note that if you've custom styled your existing comments, you may need to tweak a few things after enabling threaded comments… with these new capabilities comes a little bit more markup to account for. The FieldtypeComments core module now includes read-to-go stylesheets and JS files to use directly or as starting points.
What's coming next for the comments Fieldtype?
- Promoted comments and/or likes.
- Support for approval of comments directly from admin notification emails.
- Notification emails for users participating in a comments thread.
- Custom defined text-formatters for comments (using PW Textformatter modules).
- Upgrades to ProcessLatestComments module for comment management.
- More customization options and documentation updates/additions.

Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam.
Verry nice!

Like talking to yourself? Looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. Surprised you don't have any pharma affiliate links for us to click on.

I guess you didn't read the post contents. Ryan said "I made a couple demo threads in the comments section on this page for you to preview."

Great stuff Ryan!
ProcessWire really is going into overdrive!

That's what is already does. For instance, I'm replying to you here and my info is already filled in. Also, comments do maintain a created_users_id field in the table so that one could filter by user from the API side.

Good idea. I'll add that. There already is a permalink to each comment, but it's not visible. For instance, permalink to your comment above is https://processwire.com/blog/posts/core-comments-upgrades/#Comment11557

Hi ryan
Is it possible to link this to user accounts in some way? So if a user is logged in to at least auto-fill the details or even tie the comments to the user account so you could find all of a user's comments?

Both dev and master are stable versions right now. Everything that's currently on dev (including these comments upgrades) will likely be pushed to master sometime in May.
