BuddyPress.org

i think i remember what i did a few years back — i forced users to jump out to the posts themselves to make comments. i think i did this by just not displaying the comment buttons in the activity stream … something like that.

ideally, of course, when people comment within the activity stream, they would not have to “leave” the activity stream to participate at a website.

ideally:
user makes a comment on the activity stream and that comment also shows up at the blog post as a comment
and
user comments at the blog post/page — and of course the activity stream is updated, because the user commented on the content

is such a set-up possible — where the activity stream is more functional?

otherwise — it’s kind of a post stream — but if two different sets of comments are generated then the functionality is unusable.

if the “out the box” BP functionality is unusable/counter-intuitive — then of course i need to “disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts,” but actually — by how that sounds — that’s exactly what i want to “enable,” because i want visitors to be able to post within the activity stream — and on the blog and forum posts — and have the comment stream under the “original post” be the same (since it is about the same content).

i’m using “a lot of words” to describe something quite simple, but maybe you can sort through the verbiage and see what i mean.

Same Content
Same Comments
Regardless of Whether on a Page/Post or within the Activity Stream

Logical, Simple, Functional, Intuitive.

if i remember correctly, some plugin fixed it. but i can’t remember what it was called. also, i’m pretty sure i asked the initial question several years ago — not 10 months ago.

let us know how/if you resolve the issue. i haven’t checked on this issue in quite a while and honestly can’t remember how the solution/workaround i have on my 2 buddypress sites.
