Hi, team -
As you know, my site relies heavily on EasySocial, EasyBlog AND K2, and I am trying to integrate the user's experiences across them as much as possible. While I was on JomSocial, I relied on Komento for comments; during the migration process I temporarily disabled all commenting to simplify things. Now, I'm trying to figure out what options I have for integrated commenting.
I found many tickets from 2014-15 in the forum on these questions and I see it's something you've been working on over time so I was hoping you could clarify the current state of things (or is there somewhere you can point to in your marketing materials / documentation where I can find this?)
First off, Is there an EasySocial comments plugin for K2? [I think I saw that somewhere but now I can't figure it out...]
Here is what I am trying to accomplish - can this be done via EasySocial comments? Komento?
1) User can comment in K2 or EasyBlog articles, or on EasySocial activity stream
2) When user comments in either a K2 or EasyBlog item, an entry is made on the activity stream, with a link back to the item.
2a) Ideally, this activity stream item should include the item's primary image, and also its tags.
[I've tried your new Articles Stream plugin - I found that it grabs the tags but did not grab the item itself. Thus, I could create an activity stream item that had the same tags as the article where I created it, but I couldn't create a comment upon that item with those tags. Also, I found that the comment entered while I was on article A would also display on article B, C and any other content that I visited that day, rather than being anchored to article A. What I need is the ability to comment on K2/EasyBlog item A and have the tags get pulled in to the activity stream along with the link and image.]
3) If another user comments on that item on the EasySocial activity stream, the comment should be entered on the item's comments as well
4) User can "like" and "repost" a K2 or EasyBlog item from within the item itself (and not just from the activity stream) - thus User A can find a cool article from User B and repost it to User A's own profile, tagging the author to congratulate them.
5) Threaded comment replies (so User B can comment in reply to a comment entered by User A, and not just create a new comment on the stream)
6) Curation:
Finally, the other commenting functionality that I don't think I've seen in EasySocial or Komento is the ability for the user to "curate" content by saving K2 and EasyBlog items to a 'my favorites' list. As I understand it, the "Bookmark" function only saves an activity stream item, not a link to the content itself. It seems that JLike (in your applications store) may provide this functionality; so far I've been unable to get it working. Are you aware of any other solutions that do this? Is it something you plan to introduce in the future?
Thanks, guys - you know I think your products are tremendous!!
Best regards,
Cheryl
