I made a new plugin which reloads comments made by other users. When A is reading an article while B makes a comment on the same entry, the comment appears at A's page without reloading the entire page - kind of "realtime"-comments

See the german introduction for further info (including a screencast ).

Hi!

Hey, that's a really nice idea, I like it a lot. Do you think it would be better as a standalone plugin, or is there maybe some overlap with the livecomment plugin? Maybe those could be integrated?

Also, how about a sidebar plugin that also reloads comments dynamically, but then for all entries and not just for the entry that you are currently viewing?

Hi
There is some overlap with the livecomment-plugin: Use of jQuery and focus in the comments. But because of the way I implemented the realtimcomments-plugin it's quite big (and the livecomment-plugin is also not small anymore) and uses it's own database-table. So i think merging would lead to chaos.

The sidebarplugin should be very easy to build upon this.

Is it ok if I add this to spartacus? Don't think I'll write a sidebarplugin for this anytime soon (Had some issues with json when writing the original one and wouldn't use it anyway - besides that, i still think it'd be easy).

Hi!

Okay, that's fine for now then, better to have it at this stage than not at all. Thanks for contributing, a lot!
