[#6809] Here is another case we try to set but we are stuck.

We need our members to be able to comment on our articles and The comments to show on the activity stream.

What we have done so far...

- Content - CB Activity plugin is published and the commenting field shows fine on article pages.
- Created a new auto action that is supposed to show the comment in the activity stream.

Auto action settings:
Triggers: activity_onAfterCreateStreamComment - activity_onAfterUpdateStreamComment
Type: CB Activity
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody

Conditions:
[var3_asset] is REGEX /^article./

Action:
Mode: Activity
Method: Create
Published: (blank)
Asset: article.ARTICLE_ID
Title: New comment has been made on article
Message: [username] has posted a new comment on article "[here we need to show the article title]".

We are able to get the article ID by [var3_asset].
We are able to get the comment by [var3_message]

How can we get the arrticle title?

How can we get the arrticle title?

You can't, that information isn't stored by the comment. Ideally you'd need a trigger to parse the display code of the activity entry and take the article id from the asset and dynamically output the title. That's how core activity, CB Gallery, etc.. activity is done. You could technically add that code directly to the core activity template file below.

Thank you for your reply krileon but... i am not so good at all this.

So what i can do is search. Where? Right here in this forum.

I searched for examples of a trigger to parse the display code of the activity entry and take the article id from the asset and dynamically output the title, without any luck.

I searched for examples of how to add code directly to the core activity template file... components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbactivity/templates/default/activity_core.php

but everything i found stops at...

"

"

We have the article ID from the asset in the stream!
Can we have an example of how to dynamically output the title?

I am sorry for being such a newbie in all this. Everything i do is from trying and searching your post replies.

Thank you!

The source object is typically available as [var2] for that trigger. However, that is only if there is code to parse the asset into a source object. In this case that does not exist as it has no idea what extension the article belongs to. So the only way to have the information you're wanting is to write the code for that functionality (either to set the source object or parse the activity display).

With that said article comments are built into CB Activity so will add article source parsing so you'll be able to do something like [var2_title] on that trigger to get the article title. Will see about having this implemented for a new build for today.

Thank you Krileon!
We 'll be waiting for the new build. Thank you again!

Just tried to implement it and it did not work. I cannot get either the title out nor can I get the comment itself out...
