I had been using !JoomlaComment. The version I was using howerver required legacy support and I wanted to add some extensions that required 1.5 Native so I needed to change. I set the parameters to what was recommended for removing the version I had so hopefully I would keep the comments as few as they were, and then I removed the old version of !JoomlaComment. That went smoothly.
Next I updated my Joomla to running in Native mode instead of Legacy. And tried to load the new beta verion of !JoomlaComment. This didn’t go so well. I got something akin to the blue screen of death you get in Windows when you installed a driver that Windows really, really didn’t like. Yeah, this didn’t work. Not to be deterred I thought I did something wrong so I went back over the instructions and tried again. Nope.
Now, I may have still done something wrong. However, I on that day my break it threshhold was set low and I wasn’t interested in tinkering with this feature for very long. It was actually in my way of getting to something else I wanted to tinker with. So rather than beat my head against the problem until one or the other gave way, instead I fround a different comment tool.
I’m now using yvComment. It runs in Native mode seemingly without a hitch. It was a quick install and engage situtation and an added bonus is that the option for adding a comment is less intrusive. It doesn’t stand out quite so boldly and thus it blends into the page better.
That’s how I lost my friend’s comment on my article. I probably have it in the database somewhere. I’ll have to go hunt for it one day.
Cheers.
