Hi support,

After discussing with sales via chat I was informed, prior to purchasing, that I could integrate JA Comments with my custom component.

The sales rep mentioned there was a plugin that can be used to achieve this. Could you please enlighten me as to where I should start, or some documentation outlining integration with a custom component?

Right now I am working on a local server instance and so cannot supply access. However, I’m happy to be pointed in the right direction and continue with integration myself.

Best regards,
K…

Hello gbuatmenard,

First, you need to download JA Comment package here http://www.joomlart.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1900

Then you can use our below API:
$api_JAC = JPATH_SITE.DS.’components’.DS.’com_jacomment’.DS.’helpers’.DS.’jahelper.php’;
if (file_exists($api_JAC)) {
require_once($api_JAC);
JACommentHelpers::showComments(‘<option>’, ‘<content_id>’, ‘<content_title>’);
}

where:
‘<option>’: Component name (e.g. com_hwdvideo)
‘<content_id>’: Item Id
‘<content_title>’: Item title

Please place the above code where you want to JA Comment form is displayed.

Feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Best regards.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply.

I have added the relevant code into my custom component view. However, it appears that the relevant JS files are not being loaded and so I get JS errors.

I am getting the JS code in place but the functions they are calling are not found due to the dependencies not being loaded.

Which plugin is responsible for adding the relevant JA Comments JS into the header?

Thanks for your help so far,
K…

OK, as I am stripping $this->_scripts from my template in order to stop MooTools being loaded, I am stripping JA Comments scripts from being loaded also.

I’ll attempt to load them via my view using the addScript document function and report back.

Thanks,
K…

Ahh I hadn’t realised but JA Comment uses both Mootools AND JQuery! Is that right?
