Telligent Enterprise gives you new Notifications when someone comments on your content or on your own content comment. You can view these notifications in your Notification Queue or in Live Alerts in this release. As with releases 4.0 and 4.1, you will receive email notifications if someone comments on your status message or your status message comment.

In release 4.0, Telligent centralized the commenting service and disassociated it from the blog, media gallery, wiki, and status message applications to promote its use for social engagement and third-party content. This release supports storing comments for third-party applications, and comments are accessible to third-party applications via the platform APIs.

You can manage comments for as you previously did, and the service continues to support spam comment identification. Telligent Enterprise continues to support out-of-the-box CS Module features such as the word replacement filter that use this service.

Social service

As a service, the release 4.0 comment service is modularized to provide engagement with community-internal content and third-party content via the REST APIs, platform APIs, and widget APIs. The service returns the same kind of comment data, no matter how you access it.

The comment service is part of the core functionality of this release.

Social engagement

Release 4.0's comment service encourages participation throughout the community, inspiring registered users and anonymous users (provided the necessary permissions) to comment on blog posts, media gallery posts, wiki posts, or on status messages. 

When community participants view any piece of content, they can view the comment(s) to know what's being said about that content. You can even showcase a comment stream within your community using the Activity Story Stream widget.

Users can like, @mention, and #hashtag content in this service. They can also also rate comments or report them as abusive.

Using the platform API, you can require users to provide comment when rating content - creating a content review.

Social metrics

Commenting contributes to the content quality score weight so that the system can point out high-quality content to members.

Community participation

  • Any content in your community - whether it's authored in Telligent Enterprise or not (such as by a third party) - can be commented so that visitors can engage with it.
  • Comments can be reported by community members as abusive.

Security

  • The service continues to support all CSModules, including the word replacement filter. Obvious spam entered in a comment is identified and not published or visible on the site.
  • HTML scrubbing is now mandatory in comments. If you enter HTML in the comments, it is automatically stripped out.

Development
