Social Comments

Thank you! We are waiting for the new release. This plugin make the difference for more social learning.

Hi Marc! Yes, we are currently working on the 4.5 version. We plan to release it early April.

will this plugin be updated for 4.5...onwards?

does this block show in mobile app?

1. Is it possible to automatically unsubscribe the person from the comment?
2. The subscription of the comment is mail subscription, or in site notification?

Hi Daniel,
I’ll do my best to make this great plugin even better!
The social comments block can be used alongside the native comments block. It does not affect the comments system (for example used in the database). I assume that in most scenarios, you’d want to only use one or the other, so probably best to disable core‘s comments block (unless you have a specific usecase for it).

Hi Stefan, nice to see this plugin in your hands. Does it replace the native comments-system?

Hi! Is there a plan to update to Moodle 3.11?

This seems like a very nice plugin!
BUT it made the security report list a warning with ALL users now defined as "XSS trusted users", which is not so good. When I looked into the security settings, I saw that the capabilities socialcomments:pinitems, socialcomments:postcomments and socialcomments:subscribe are all listed as risky for cross-site scripting attacks. So I had to revert to the old commenting functionality. Any advice on how to handle this?

Thanks for the quick reaction, the new version works nicely.

Hi Matthias,
Sorry for the trouble is fixed now with the new build for release v3.8.
Best Regards
Matthias

The new version causes problems with Moodle 3.9.2. Once you install it you can't resize the text areas anymore when you try to edit a page or a question. See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=410793#p1656875 .

Hi Anu,
The plugin might already work with version 3.9, but I haven't testet it. Maybe you have the capacities to do so?
But I also passed your comment along to EDU-Werkstatt ( https://edu-werkstatt.berlin/ ), who were kind of enough to take over the maintenance of the plugin

Hi Björn,
This seems like a really useful plugin.
Are you planning on releasing a 3.9 compatible version soon?
Thanks,
Anu

Dear Al Mukhlishiddin,
Thank you for your kind words!
1) You can make a block sticky as described here: https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Block_settings#Making_a_block_sticky_throughout_a_course
2) It's hard for me to tell what the reason is for you not getting an email notification. It could be your configuration as an instruction, the admin configuration or a technical problem. You'll find more on the topic here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=376606
Hope that helps! Should you have any further questions: I'll be on a (much needed) vacation until August 10th, but will respond when I'm back.
Have a great summer!
Best
Björn
