MMXII Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Basically what the title says: I am looking for an easy way to create a block that displays a feed of comments which have been posted on articles in the Pages App. I haven't used the Pages App that much in the past, but now that I do, I realized that there is no preconfigured block that can be selected in the Frontend Sidebar Manager in order to display said comments. We have it for forum topics, for downloads, for blog articles... but not for pages articles. And yes, I am a total noob when it comes to creating manual templates and such, so bear with me. How can I create a frontend block that displays comments from articles (within a database, within all databases...) and, optionally, a 2nd block that displays reviews?

Heosforo Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 There is no such function, it was there once and was removed, the reason is still a mystery 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXII Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Really? No way to add a feed of Pages App comments (and reviews) as a block to my site? Why would one remove such an option, especially since it is still present (and, by the way, actively being used) in all other apps? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It wasn’t “removed” as a deliberate act with a specific reason. 4.x was a rewrite and not every feature existing in 3.4 was set up again. Some returned after protests, some in a limited way. I guess there was never enough pressure for this feature to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
