Creating Elements for Zoo
-
Hi all,
At first my compliments to the dev-team. I have no doubt this is going to be a fantastic mature component.
I am using this with the yoo Zoo plugin and it works great. But positioning the different Komento options isn't that easy. I was wondering, isn't it easier to create elements for all the Koment options so you could place them wherever you want?
Example: TITLE -> Lovies, stickies, Title
MEDIA -> Some photo's
CONTENT -> Main text -> Comments -> Add Comment
BOTTOM -> Conversation bar
Here you can see how to create those elements:

P.S. Maybe it's easy to create a Future Request section for Komento.

In case if anyone else not familiar with Zoo element, I just made a brief and basic screencast http://screencast.com/t/Qd0deoiNIabG
What's this screencast generally about:
1. Enable Zoo in Komento. Prerequisite.
2. Install the elements. (http://stackideas.com/account/free-download/plugins.html, click "Komento" tab)
- Installer doesn't work for Joomla 1.5. You have to manually copy the files to your media folder.
- root/media/zoo/elements/
3. Add elements to your Zoo app. So you can select them later.
4. Add respective element to teaser layout and full layout. -
Hi Jewei,
Great job !!!!
I have tested it and it works very good.
I found have some questions/bugs:
BUGS:
1) Mod_Komento_Comments module:
When i set: Max title length in the backend.
The title won't show when characters are set less then title length.
Example: title = Testing komento = 15 characters.
When in the backend Max title length is set to "10", the whole title isn't displayed, not showing the 10 characters.
2) Mod_Komento_Activities module:
When i set: Max title length in the backend.
The whole title will show even when characters are set less then title length.
Example: title = Testing komento = 15 characters.
When in the backend Max title length is set to "10" , the whole title is displayed, not only 10 characters
I have some other issues, but i will check first before posting here.
REQUEST:
1) Possibility to show activities and comments in the modules in a horizontal way instead of vertical? So you can set a parameter in the backend for example 4 and it will show the last 4 comments horizontaly next to each other?
2) Is it possible to change Powered by Komento for Joomla! to Powered by Komento !! --> i think this is better for securtiy reasons. People do not have to know you are using Joomla.
"OFFTOPIC"
I had a list with some improvements for your site, but i saw you recently changed the site so my "improvements" are no longer of use :-) Good Job !! -
Hi Jason,
Thanks for catching those bugs! I've updated both modules to v1.0.3 to fix the bugs that you've mentioned.
For horizontal comments module, I will see how to go about this as we will need to redesign the interface for horizontal display.
For the Powered by Komento for Joomla! text, I will have to check with my superior (due to Terms and Condition applies) to see if this is possible. -
