Comments on user profiles - nightmare!
Hi everyone!
I am developing a site where by I need people to be able to comment on user's profiles - much like you do on say Facebook - kinda like a wall I guess.
Anyhow.I have found a number of modules, one of which is called Facebook_Status (microblog).
It seems from the demo site it has the perfect functionality I require, however I can not replicate this on my own site.
This is what I would like on my profile just like this:
http://fbss.icecreamyou.com/user/540
As you can see, you can post a reply which gets posted to the "wall" (if it is not your profile), and if its your own profile, it still gets posted to the wall, but also updates your status.
GREAT I thought - just want I needed. So I went and downloaded the module and inserted the views I thought might be needed into my profile template file. But alas, I can update my status, and I can write to people, but the feed of statuses is GLOBAL - ie every single message and update from ALL users on the site gets posted in the feed!
Also, for some reason I do not have the "reply" link functionality showing anywhere, which makes me think this is something else.
Can anyone help!? I am lost and have spent days trying to figure this out...
Alternatively if you know how to post comments to user profiles in Drupal 6, I would be most grateful - although I have tried most of the obvious modules such as the one that supposedly converts users to nodes so you can enable comments, but I can not get this to work either... arghhhhhhhhhhh!
Use the content profile
Use the content profile module if you are not doing so already. Then follow the instructions on post #9 of this thread - http://drupal.org/node/245251
Did not work for me
I did as #9 stated after enabling content_profile module.
All that happens for me is that it prints out the profile fields, but there is still no comments area, and I get a warning stating:
"warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /site/modules/cck/content.module on line 1284."
??
.
The demo isn't simple to replicate... Go to http://drupal.org/node/435676 and scroll down to "JavaScript View Updates" for the code.
