Hi Mark,
I have been looking at EasyBlog and I am thinking if I should give this component a try. The main reason for my interest with Easyblog is the integration with EasySocial. I have a few questions and hoping you can clarify these for me. (although some of these questions were already asked in EasyBlog forums, unfortunately I am unable to read them since I havent subscribed to EasyBlog yet).
1) EasySocial Comment Integration: I am surprised to see that I can enable ES Comments for commenting system in EasyBlog. I wasnt aware of that. However, in the demo site I am unable to see a working example of EasySocial comments used in EasyBlog (even when I tried the settings in backend) so I dont know how it actually looks and works. Do you have some screenshots or a working sample of this so I can have a look to understand how the ES comments work when used inside EasyBlog articles instead of the EB's inbuilt comments?
2) What is the main benefit of EasySocial comments when compared to EasyBlog's inbuilt comments?
3) When the EasySocial comment is integrated into Easyblog, are the comments synced both ways? Meaning the comments posted from EasySocial timeline for that article feed update is also added to the comments block under that EB article? (This is something Komento didint do).
4) Does it show a new stream update when comments is made in ES comment inside Easyblog article?
5) Does EB-EasySocial Comment allow subscribing to comments and email notification to subscribers when new comments are posted? How does (and what kind of) email notifications work when using ES comments-EB integration?
6) Does EB-EasySocial comments also award badges and points similar to Komento?
7) Does EB-EasySocial Comments allow 'likes' in comments?
