Activity Comments now have multiple display modes to accommodate different social media needs. With these new modes it's much easier to replicate familiar behavior as seen on other social media. Take a look below!
Inline Collapsed
This mode always renders the comments stream, but it will be collapsed by default and upon clicking comments or comment button it will expand.
Toggled
This mode does not render the comments stream initially. When clicking comments or the comment button it will ajax load in the comments stream presenting the user temporarily with a loader display as shown above.This can provide performance benefits for heavier sites since the comment streams do not load in initially.
Page
This mode does not render the comments inline. When clicking the comments or comment button it will take the user to an individual activity page that only shows that activity entry and then on that page is where comments will be available. So while they're scrolling a stream for example comments only become available after doing this. This can provide performance benefits for heavier sites since the comment streams do not load in initially.
Modal Window
This mode does not render the comments inline. When clicking the comments or comment button it opens a modal window with the activity entry and now the comments are visible. The new comment box is stickied to the bottom of the modal window to ensure it's always available. This can provide performance benefits for heavier sites since the comment streams do not load in initially.
