Theme: Add wrapper around activity comment form

Missing a screen shot.

But, I would sugguest trying something like this

function MY_MODULE_form_activity_comments_form_alter(&$form, $form_state) {
  $form['show_all']['#value'] .= ' <a href="#" class="activity-comment-show-form">' . t('Show Form') . '</a>';
}

Then with CSS you hide the form using selectors like html.js .activity-comment-form .form-item, so that way the items only get hidden when the user has javascript turned on. And finally, the missing piece is some JS to show the form when .activity-comment-show-form is clicked.

I am not sure this is the best way to do so, but I think it would be very easy just to add fieldset class to the activity comment form .

if you look at the code in "activity_comment.module" from line number 131 to 135

This is the original code :

// Add comment form.
 
function activity_comments_form($form_state, $aid, $limit, $direction) {
  $form['activity_form_items'] = array(
    '#access' => user_access('activity post comments'),
    '#prefix' => '<div class="container-inline">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',
  );

I think if it could be changed to something like this:

/**
 * Add comment form.
 */
function activity_comments_form($form_state, $aid, $limit, $direction) {
  $form['activity_form_items'] = array(
    '#access' => user_access('activity post comments'),
    '#prefix' => '<div class="container-inline">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',
    '#type' => 'fieldset',
    '#title' => t('Comment'),
    '#collapsible' => TRUE,
    '#collapsed' => TRUE,
  );

This would create a simple collapsed wrapper around the activity comment form, which would be collapsed till the user decided to comment.

Also at line 137 to 143

// Change textfield to text area for better user

  $form['activity_form_items']['activity_comment'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
//    '#maxlength' => 250,
//    '#size' => 25,
    '#default_value' => t('Write a comment'),
    '#attributes' => array('class' => 'activity-comment-text'),
  );

I think it would give users a better option... and with a bit of css you can get that Facebook type look..

Attached is a patch for it

PS ..for some reason i can't CVS to make patches will look into it..

Sorry for the long delay in responding, I have been busy. You can get it to work with views,

Create a view of your activity, and use advanced display options, you will be able to create it. You can also use the rewrite output option in views.

if you need any further help send me a mail and I shall help

There is a patch here, changing status and adding a more descriptive issue title.

D6 reached its EOL back in February 2016, and there is no active release for D6 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D6. All D6-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.

If the issue remains relevant for D10+ versions, merge requests with proposed solutions for a new module version (D10+) are welcome in a new follow-up issue.

Thanks!
