Adding Comments To Aggregator?

[kompressaur]

Hello i was wondering if it was possible to add comments to posts in the aggregator? in an ideal world it would post a new thread in one of my forums when someone replies to any news imported with the aggregator. Is this possible?

thanks

Not sure, as I don't use that module. But, since its a Drupal specific module, you would probably have better luck asking about it over there. Here is a link to the Aggregator How-To on Drupal.org : http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/aggregator

he's talking about the vb commenting facility. can you already post regular comments to the aggregator? i'm not using that for my site...

Oh, ok. I have that enabled, mainly to allow people to comment on and help update articles on our site. All content pages have comments read/write enabled, and then tied to a specific forum for site content. Once a new content page is created, a new thread is created for the content. If anyone wants to comment on the article, they can hit the "Add Comment" link in the article, or directly as a reply to the thread. The comments (I think you can set how many are shown, I currently show the last 10) are shown in vbdrupal and all comments are in the forum thread.

I just enabled it the other day. IIRC, its just a vbdrupal module enabled, settings in the admin area (under COMMENT), and then enabling the comments in the article. I guess that's what you were wondering. Here is an example from my site...

Thanks bszopi. Truth be told i think i have it solved. I found the FEEDAPI module and i have managed to get it working. Wait a minute thats on my drupal standalone. I will go and try it on myvbdrupal and see if i can replicate it. Actually i can't find where to choose what forums to post comments in. If anyone knows then your welcome to tell me. I have chosen them before. anyhow i shall return.

Im back and im still confused :\ I've installed feedapi on vbdrupal and it doesnt seem to be pulling the feed with replicated options set up. Ill keep trying.

Ive just found an admin what comment fields are available to me by logging in as a reg user and finding it wrongly permissioned. We live and learn.

Regarding FEEDAPI i dont think it works on vbrupal. I cant seem to get comments on it. I better re-read your last post bszopi. IIRC module you say bszopi? Lets go have a look...i cant see it. Looks like i am out of luck. i suppose the 2 ways of lookignm at fixing it would be to

1. get feedAPI working to turn rss into nodes

or

2. enable vbcomment on the News aggregator

I can't do either.

IIRC = if I remmeber correctly

The way I did it was as follows:
Administer > Content management > Comments
From there, you can select which forum(s) you want the comments to be posted in. If you select multiple forums, then when you post an article, you select which forum you want the thread to be created in. Under MODULES > CORE, turn off COMMENT and turn on COMMENT_VB.

While looking at my modules, I noticed I don't have AGGREGATOR turned on, so I may still be misunderstanding what you are wanting. But who knows....

aye i want to import rss feeds as News items bszopi and then use the post replies in a certain forum from them news items ive imported. I think it only works with drupal commenting module and not the vbcomment module. Thanks for the thoughts though. if i find anymore out i will post it

[bszopi]

Yeah, I messed with mine last night some, and the news items were sent to RSS, but the comments weren't. If you clicked on the RSS item, then the page with the comments loaded up.
