Hi I new to Drupal. Just have a few questions. Is it possible to have a comment to a specific content redirected to another page or e-mailed to the publisher of that content. I was trying to find a way to have certain comments or replies posted that can only be seen by the user who published the content or to have some comments/replies hidden by other users except the publisher of the content that was replied to.

Hi,

I have created a short video tutorial which shows how to configure drupal to automaticaly send email notifications to node author after new comment has been published to this node. Everything you need is a Rules module - http://drupal.org/project/rules

tutorial: http://youtu.be/mh3B8Lp8TIc

Tomorrow, I will prepare another tutorial for you which will describe how to limit access to comments to other users than creator

Hello,

as I promise yesterday, here is another video tutorial which shows how to show only allowed comments to anonymous users and how to to let node authors to administer comments related to their own nodes

video: http://youtu.be/DlItXTVaQOA

Requirements:
- views
- views bulk operations
- simple custom module

Steps:
1. hide comments in node template
2. add on/off field to comment
3. create view block showing comments of actual node with limitation of that checkbox
4. add this block to the page
5. create simple view with views bulk operation module to administer comments

Templates (code preview):
node.tpl.php: http://pastebin.com/HcsLPNKt
mymodule.module: http://pastebin.com/4m8ih3C1

Notice: Undefined index: comments in include() (line 38 of C:\www\drupalsupport\sites\all\themes\bartik\templates\comment-wrapper.tpl.php).
this notice is caused by default bartik comment-wrapper template and it will not cause problems in your custom theme
I try to be simple so I don't solve every problem in my tutorials

you are free to ask anything, I will try to help you :)
