Better comment management

[Peter Knight]

Would love to see following features in the admin Comments field type.

• Ability to display more than 10 comments at a time
  This could be a setting in the field type itself?
   
• Ability to bulk - manage comments
  This could be a checkbox to the right of every comment and a way then to bulk-action
   

These are a clients wish. We moved his site recently to PW and he has approx 6000 comments to moderate and a very active commenting audience.

He was on WordPress for years, moved to MODX and now is running ProcessWire. He loves PW btw - this is literally the only admin feature he misses.

Couldn't these be done with the comments manager? I haven't tried it myself though...

Edit: OK, not exactly: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/1681-module-comments-manager/. I also now see your earlier comment there.

Don't have worked with PW comments so far but what's about Lister Pro - could Lister grab comments from pages and show them nice?

Hmm, thats an interesting thought. I'll have a look later. There would probably be no batch controls but it's an interesting approach.

@Peter,
 
Here you go, a temporary solution as you await Ryan's response to your request: ProcessCommentsManagerEnhanced
 
This is a slightly enhanced version of the current core ProcessCommentsManager. I've tested it in the current dev version of PW and it works fine. I cannot provide any guarantees nor support the module though ....it is a working-nicely-proof-of-concept.
