I am new to Discourse source code but really want to shorten comments like on Facebook comments, I wonder if Source discourse can do that? Because I don’t want the replies to be stretched down… If it can be done, how would it be? I look forward to further instructions

Could you provide an image or something to help explain what you mean?

That means I want the replies to a certain post to be shortened and have the same layout as the comments on Facebook that I’m using. [image]

Hi @toanvoc :wave: Looks like you are wanting a commenting system for each post. This isn’t a function built into core, but you can achieve this layout style with the Journal plugin from Pavilion: [תמונה] Journal Plugin Plugin information_source Summary Turn a Discourse topic into a one-to-many journal where one user can post entries that other users comment on hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-journal open_book Install Guide How to install plugins in Discourse Watch this video for an introduction to the plugin: How to get started First, enable journaling for a category in the category settings. Click “Settings” on the left, scroll down to the bottom,…

No, I want the comment replies to be arranged like Facebook, not stretched down the page.

I think the answer to your question is probably yes, but you (or someone else) is going to need to dig into the code.

I have been looking for a while but have not found it in the source code so I asked my team for support. Thank you!

We may be talking at cross purposes. :slight_smile: It doesn’t exist as a setting (or plugin or theme component) as far as I’m understanding your request, so you will need to engineer it. If that’s what you’re trying to do, you can explain in detail where you’re getting stuck?

That is, I want the replies to the post (comments) to be arranged in a branch form like the comment layout that the Facebook platform is using. I don’t know if the Discourse source can do that, so I came here to get support! Because I find the comment layout like Facebook is very optimal for Reply! If the Discourse source code has an option to choose how to display this layout, it would be great!

Discourse has a plugin architecture that allows you to customise the interface as well as a freelancer and agency supported ecosystem. If you have the budget to build this extension, consider posting your requirements in #marketplace

I don’t think you can do that in only a few hours. Discourse is not threaded. It’s designed to make it easy to read all of the discussion. If you want to have to click three times to read each post and then not be able to tell which ones you’ve already read, you’ll likely do it much more easily on some other platform.
