Hello all,

Is it possible to show a consolidated view of all comments across a number of pages?

I have a site with comments enabled on a number of pages which is working really well. Now to make it easier to get an overview of all the comments I would like to show all comments for these pages on the PageHolder page. Is this possible?

thanks
Marc

Have tried using the below:

function AllComments($num=200) {
return DataObject::get("Comment", "ParentID >= 1", "Created DESC", "", $num);
}

But I need to filter the results where the ParentIDs ParentID = $this

Tried getting the ID of the children for the holder page but not sure how to relate the two functions:

function SortedChildren() {
$dosChildren = $this->Children();
if ($dosChildren)
return $dosChildren;
}

function AllComments() {
return DataObject::get("Comment", "ParentID = $dosChildren.ID", "Created DESC");
}

Is this along the right lines?

To clarify the scenario is:

PageHolder

- Page 1
- Comment 1
- Comment 2

- Page 2
- Comment 3
- Comment 4
- Comment 5

- Page 3
- Comment 6
- Comment 7

I want to show all comments on the Page holder.

In your case as you described you don't need to write any functions, you could do something like the following in your holder template

<% loop Children %>
<h2>$Title</h2>
<% if Comments %>
<% loop Comments.Sort('Created DESC') %>
<% include CommentsInterface_singlecomment %>
<% end_loop %>
<% else %>
<p>No comments</p>
<% end_if %>
<% end_loop %>

Thanks Willr but I'm getting a Server error - Sorry, there was a problem handling your request.

Switch on dev mode it seems that I need to add a has_one relationship between the Page and the Comment DataObject but adding this just throws another error.

Uncaught Exception: No has_one found on class 'Comment', the has_many relation from 'ScreenPage' to 'Comment' requires a has_one on 'Comment'

Do I need to add a relationship back to the page?

Got the latest version of comments? That was fixed in https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-comments/commit/5cfa476264658b75c7d28e3b86b003aa81149aac

Nope. That's sorted it. Thanks Willr.
