I have a chronoconnectivity connection that points a database from chronoforms. I can add, edit, delete, etc. Now... I'm going to add a search function. Based on the search function, is there anyway I can add comments, such as user comments, to the results of the search? I looked through the faq's, and although not all the posts I did look through alot. Is this possible?

Hi,

you mean you have every user comments stored some where and want to show them or want to show a comment form ?

Well. I have a database of items, entered using chronoforms, which works fabulously. Now I used chronoconnectivity to add/modify/delete records and display all the contents. Now what I would like is to have people able to post comments about each item. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this... I grabbed chronocomments, but I think that I may have to backup the table to csv, modify it, and then import it to jos_cotents through phpmyadmin, and use chronocomments after that. I'm looking for an easier to maintain solution though.

Hi theacidanagel,

Ther are presumably multiple comments per item so it's not just a question of adding a field to your existing table but more of a new comments table linked to the items. This is a non-trivial extension.

As you say you might be better off modifying your ChronoForms to save the post to an article and use ChronoComments there. You could still use ChronoConnectivity linked to the com_content table if that is useful.

That is very useful. I believe I'll do it that way.🙂
