CB Comments on a JEvents Event?

CB Comments on a JEvents Event? was created by kdave321
Following this thread I see I can easily add CB Comments to Joomla articles, and it works fine -
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/242117-cb-activity-comments-in-joomla-articles

However, I want the comments only when displaying the Event Detail from JEvents. I verified from the script that parses the Custom Layout of the page that the context is "com_jevents". When I add this to "Content - CB Activity", nothing happens. I also tried forcing content.prepare on "[cbactivity:comments /]" but no go.

I have been able to add Phocagallery to the specific event using a "{phocagallery view=category..." string but not sure how to proceed here.

Somehow, the CB Activity plugin has to keep track of comments for each individual event like it would do for articles. I do have CB integration enabled in JEvents.

Edit "Content - CB Activity" and under "Comments and Likes" tab add your components context to "Include Context". Now under "Comments" enable comment display. I've no idea what the context is for that extension so I can't help you with that, but this will allow it to output on that context if that context even has a onContentAfterDisplay Joomla event implementation. It however is going to store it as "article.CONTEXT_ID" so you may need to adjust the Asset parameter under the "Comments" tab to something like "content.[article_id]" so it's more generic to any location.

The substitution usage is a lot more complicated and isn't likely to work for your situation at this time, but will be doable in CB Activity 6.0.0 very easily.

Yes, that's what I had in the content plugin.
Sometimes, JEvents will trigger onContentPrepare but not onContentAfterDisplay - so I triggered it myself. :)
$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onContentAfterDisplay', array('com_jevents', &$item, &$item->params, 0));

It actually does display working comments, but right now it's the same comments on every event.
So I need something like "content.[article_id]" to store comments specific to each event, right?
"ev_id" is the unique id (in the table) of the event but I don't know where to put that. In $item? or in your plugin as "content.[ev_id]"?
In this script ( /components/com_jevents/views/default/helpers/defaultloadedfromtemplate.php ) it is $event->ev_id()

I saw no difference changing the plugin asset, but instead in the script, I did this before the trigger:
$item->id = $event->ev_id();

, and I'm now getting a different comment thread in every event.

Thanks.

Thanks for providing your solution. This will be a lot easier in CB Activity 6.0.0 as I'll have it handle the asset automatically based off context and object id. So it'll probably do something like com_jevents.EVENT_ID for the asset.
