Hi
Just wondering if there's any possibility of getting this plugin integrated with Joomla. I've actually been using it for a while on a Joomla site but we are facing the next Joomla upgrade and new PHP version, and when we last upgraded we could only get the older version of Commentics to work with Joomla 4.
Thanks

Hi Jennie, I'm not familiar with Joomla but I'd be happy to try to help. Could you share your integration code?

I asked ChatGPT and it said for Joomla 3/4 you'd need to edit the /components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php file and add this:

<?php
$cmtx_identifier = JUri::getInstance()->toString() ; // or another unique identifier
$cmtx_reference = $this->item->title;
$cmtx_folder = '/commentics/'; // path to Commentics folder
require(JPATH_ROOT . $cmtx_folder . 'frontend/index.php');
?>

And for Joomla 4/5 you'd need to edit the /override/layouts/com_content/article/default.php file and add this:

<?php
$cmtx_identifier = 'article_' . (int) $this->item->id;
$cmtx_reference = htmlspecialchars($this->item->title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
$cmtx_folder = '/commentics/'; // path to Commentics folder
require(\Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\Path::clean(JPATH_ROOT . $cmtx_folder . 'frontend/index.php'));
?>
