Threaded Posts

One of the most often requested features by Simple:Press users has been for threaded posts. It has taken a while and we are not quite ready to release it, but we think we have cracked it at last! And you can try it out on our support forums. We plan to have it running on our own forums for a short time while we finish testing it. And feel free to add your comment to this linked blog post and let us know what you think.

Blog Comments

But that is not the only plugin we have installed on our site for testing. For users of our Blog Linking plugin who have asked for comments to be shown on the post page using the forum display we have our new ‘Commenter’ plugin. So you can try that as well if you like – add your comment – threaded or otherwise! – to this post – or to the linked forum topic.

When we have tested these fully – we will, of course, release them into the store.

Gee, I wonder how that threading stuff works?  Note the ‘reply thread’ button on the post row icon (vice the add reply button)

Hi,

and will be possibile to send notification
to a user only when is posted a replay to his comment? A user can subscribe only for the reply to his posts?

Or the notification will be sent for all new posts in the discussion?

When a user subscribes to a topic they receive notifications of all posts made to that topic (except for any they wrote themselves of course!).

just to clarify, you cannot subscript to a thread… you subscribe to the whole topic (or forum)…

Thanks for reply 🙂
if i have a post with many new comments, a user will receive many notifications… i can suggest to add the option to subscribe only the own threads?

Its something that could be considered for the future, but its a significant impact to the current plugin to do…  so will take some time when undertaken…

Do you have a date when this will be available? I’d like to evaluate this for our forum site that needs threaded replies. If it’s of interest, I’d be open to running it as a test with some of our membership if that feedback would help your testing process. We have about 2,500 members, 60,000 page views and several thousand posts per day, currently on bbPress/BuddyPress which has been hacked to get threading.

We should be releasing it fairly soon…  along with a 5.7.4 update…  but the latest php 7.1.1 release has caused a rash of compatibility issues so we have to get those fixed up first… but definitely this month I would hazard…

Thanks.

One more question… is it possible in SimplePress for responses to have different subject lines than the original post?
