Add comment/reply as ctools/panels task

Marking as needs review. We've tested it and it works.

#5: 0001-Adding-comment-reply-as-ctools-task 1.patch queued for re-testing.

Any conclussion to this? Is the patch committed? Can we use it safely?

Thanks for this patch! I've amended comment_reply_form.inc a little to avoid some warnings (checking $comment object) and also refer to $context[0] for the ..._admin_title:

+function ctools_comment_reply_form_content_type_render($subtype, $conf, $panel_args, $context) {
+
+  $comment = ($context[1]->identifier == 'No context') ? NULL : clone($context[1]->data);
+  $block = new stdClass();
+  $block->module = 'comments';
+  if ($comment) $block->delta  = $comment->cid;
+  $block->title = t('Add comment');
+  $node = $context[0]->data;
+
+  module_load_include('inc', 'comment', 'comment.pages');
+  $block->content = comment_reply($node, ($comment ? $comment->cid : NULL));
+
+  return $block;
+}
+
+function ctools_comment_reply_form_content_type_admin_title($subtype, $conf, $context) {
+  return t('"@s" comment form', array('@s' => $context[0]->identifier));
+}

I can also confirm that this patch works as expected.

I have not gone line by line to ensure the code is right, just confirming functionality.

When the patch is applied--- ensure that there is a newline added to the end of the file. Drupal coding standards ftw.

Committed and pushed. Thanks for the patch!

'No context' is translateable. So it should be t('No context'):

$comment = ($context[1]->identifier == t('No context')) ? NULL : clone($context[1]->data);

I modified the patch.

Not sure if I should start a new issue of post here, but I have just updated to the latest Ctools dev to test this out. When I Add Content > Comment > Comment Reply Form, the output is the same as the standard comment form, with the node or comment you are replying to above the form itself. There should be an option to disable the node/comment view, so I can output just the form.

For example, I may want the form itself on the right, and the node/comment view on the left. The current panel is just lumping everything together. The current panel may be better called "Rendered Comment Reply Page" or something of that effect, and a new form-only panel added.

@osopolar,

You should create a new issue for the above problem. This has already been merged and fixed.
