I just added the comments component to my first app and I don’t see any configuration that I can make for this component.
I was expecting the standard comment box that we see on any social platform where we can like, reply or report on a comment received to the original post.
So when someone likes my post and makes a comment to my post, I should be able to respond to the comments I’ve received and also may ‘like’ the comment.
Is this something achievable? If Yes, any tips on how to?
Not possible to configure or comment on/like comments. You can however just add another comment in response to another but it will appear in the chronological order you set vs. linked to a specific comment. It will basically create a list of comments and you can sort them by newest to oldest or vice versa. Still a pretty useful component for Posts and I’m sure they’ll get more sophisticated in the future!
yeah … linking to specific comment is a really needed option. Else, it creates confusion for readers when someone adds comments in the middle of a conversation
Also, even if I have multiple comment components, I don’t think there is an option to save to different sheets. Everything goes into Apps:Comments … right?
I totally agree - I think for now I’m relying on users to see that the comments are a list and use some judgment but we know that’s not a good or scalable strategy! I’m sure this is on the Glide team’s radar but you could make a feature request. I’m sure they’ve had enough of those from me today!
yes, everything goes in app comments. Cannot edit. Can delete from data editor by right click.
Unfortunately not. That one is a big deal for me too - I was going to put a feature request in for it but after my mad activity here today I thought I would wait a few days!
agreed, the comments could deserve more attention: reply to users (2 levels like on facebook or twitter), replies and the profiles should be clickable.
