Odd behaviour with CB Activity Plugin after update to Joomla 3.7.0

Hi Guys and Gals

I have activated the commenting part of the CB Activity Plugin.
It has worked nicely, but today after updating to 3.7.0 it looks a bit odd.
To have it work on the frontpage I had to set it to context 'com_content'.
It worked with the default 'com_content.article' for all the other pages showing articles, but not the frontpage unless I set 'com_content'.

After updating to 3.7.0 it also placed comments on other positions as well. I have a position on the top of the page where I use 'articles anywhere' to place specific articles given the right ACL level, but the article category they contain are excluded.

Best regards
Kenneth

By setting Include Content to com_content you're having it output on every content component view that outputs onContentAfterDisplay trigger. I can't help you in regards to articles anywhere as depending on how they output articles that may indeed output a comments stream.

For front page and article view only you can set context to: com_content.article,com_content.featured

Default value is com_content.article (or empty) and is still working fine in my tests on Joomla 3.7.0.

I'm not getting it shown here, and I don't have any featured articles, and the category is not excluded.
My Main-Menu Home item is a Category Blog, no featured articles.
The Joomla plugin has a ACL of 'Club Member' which is a higher level than registered.
The comment section appears on other pages where the categories are not excluded.


Regarding my unclear explanation of the modules and articles-anywhere.
I don't want it to be shown there, and the article categories shown there are excluded.
And even despite that, and with the module not being shown because of it's assignments aren't fulfilled, if I give the context 'com_content' the comment section still appears.

Ok, so your only issue is with the Articles Anywhere usage. My guess is they're directly outputting the article view, which is going to have the com_content.article context. They'd need to have their own view that has a more specific context or doesn't fire that trigger. There's nothing I can do about that from CB Activity though. The below is the results of my test with Joomla views using com_content.article context.

Featured:


Blog:


Article:


The only thing determining if comments should show is the context and that's based off whatever the trigger is sending.

Hi Kyle

No, it's the opposite. I don't want to use it on Articles Anywhere, I was explaining that IF I activate it on 'com_content' it appears on published articles set up by Articles Anywhere, in non-published modules.

I ONLY want to use it on the 'normal' articles. But it doesn't show up with the 'contexts' youve provided.
I'll pm you the credentials to show it, it's visible here: www.dkdb.dk

That's because the com_content context covers all views in Joomla for com_content output.

Then it's a problem with how you're outputting articles. I do not test it with articles anywhere. I test normal Joomla views. It is not tested with K2 either.

Having reviewed your install I don't understand the issue. When I view an article directly I see the comments perfectly fine. See PM where I've provided links to articles with working comments. Your home page is outputting the Category Blog view. That is not the Featured Articles view. If you want comments on your home page you need to use "com_content.category", but that may have unexpected output. There is no context specific to blog view.
