Matrix Version:
Hi there,
I have created the comment page using the asset builder page and comments function is now working fine. now I need to link the reply comment option to every comment. To do that I create reply link on those comments. and I passed the id of the comment to the asset builder in the create location screen. then it will b child of that comment.

Looks like it is partially working now. but when you click on reply link, it goes to the new page to do the comment reply & it didn’t get added to the original comment. It just stuck over there.

I also used javascript to call the reply comment on the parent asset. I applied that in the paint layout.

How to build a blog

Not sure what you’ve done so far since I haven’t had time to log on but a blast from the past is still live so have a look at how to creat a blog: http://matrixusers.com/tutorials/creating-comments (yes it’s old from the times when Matrix was still called MySource Matrix, was under GPL and you could download it from CVS and attempts were made to create a real open source community). Anyway, the principles and techniques are still valid and working today.

Hi Maaya,
Have you thought about using the API to do this? It might sound like more work - but you will have way more control.
You can use the createAsset call and just pass the asset id of the reply through.
Cheers
