Hi,

Komento is a dedicated comment system which lacks a comment feature that easydiscuss has :
--> the possibility for users to get notifications for their replies ONLY.

I was suggested to use easydiscuss instead of joomla articles to get this feature but it is not a possible solution and thus I would like to know which file I need to modify to get the same feature with komento.

I understand you may not provide support to develop this feature, but at least could you give me some hints on how to do this?

Kind regards,
Hello,

Hm, I am not sure if I understand you here. Do you mean you only want the user to receive notification of their own replies? If they are posting the comments, may I know why would they want to receive a notification about the comment they have posted?

Am I understanding what you are trying to achieve here correctly?

Hi Mark,

Goal is : to get notifications for replies made to their comments/replies only.
Current situation : users do get notifications for any comment made in a thread.

Please check https://stackideas.com/forums/komento-error-with-easyblog#reply-384309 where a solution was found and integrated to easyblog.



Kind regards,

I see, I get what you mean now. Basically in Komento, whenever a new comment is saved (including new comments and edited comments), it routes through the file /administrator/components/com_koment/includes/comment/comment.php

You want to look at the method @postSave which occurs after the comment is stored in the database. This is where we are sending the notifications as well.

Hi Mark

I don't see how this method affect notifications.

On the other hand this does : 



if ($this->config->get('notification_enable')) {



			$isNew = !$this->saveOptions['isEdited'];



			if ($this->isPublished() && $isNew && (($action == 'comment' && $this->config->get('notification_event_new_comment')) || ($action == 'reply' && $this->config->get('notification_event_new_reply')))) {

				KT::notification()->push($action, 'author,usergroups,subscribers', array('commentId' => $this->table->id));

			}


No offense, but can somebody related to the development of this extension give me the correct methods to modify? I don't ask custom code, just indications, but it needs to be more precise.

Kind regards,

When it call notification library push function, it will route through this file and do the notification process.

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_komento/includes/notification/notification.php (Look at push function)
