Comments System [#114624]

Reroute the comments system through VB instead of the drupal comments system. Posting a comment would actually be opening a thread in a configurable thread under his username (that's covered through the bridging), and replying to one would act trivially by replying to that thread.

Interestingly, I was designing Drupal vB that way when I started out. I decided against it because of the messiness of then having one forum full of comments about various bits of content on the site. I'm curious if you have any ideas regarding display on the Drupal side and forum/thread placement on the vBulletin side. I can imagine setting up a comments category on the vB side with subforums for different types of content and titles for the posts being the titles of the content on the Drupal site... then just making sure the site admin configures Drupal vB to know which forum it ought to drop the threads in. It should be trivial if it's just a matter of theming some links...

But every time I say trivial, it turns out to be more than I bargained for. : P

Here's an implementation I liked:

Another alternative, is to keep the same look Drupal comments have now, and just pull the content from the vB side.

I think this can be quite useful, and productive, a way to tie everything together... So if you're willing, try and implement it, I can give you feedback in the process...
