In the controller i have:

public class uCommentsyReplyFormSurfaceController : SurfaceController

Then in Index Method:

 public ActionResult Index(IPublishedContent currentPage, int CommentParentID)

then...

 return PartialView("/Views/Partials/uCommentsy/Forms/uCommentsyFormReply.cshtml", new ReplyFormModel());

 

ReplyFormModel is the same with ContactFormModel only it has ParentID.

 

Then in the post event:

public ActionResult Post(ReplyFormModel model)

 

then when it calls the submit instead of making the parent id the folder i have this:

 

var commentsFolder = EnsureCommentsFolder(node);

 

int parentID = commentsFolder.Id;

 

if (commentInfo.ParentID != -1) {

parentID = commentInfo.ParentID;

 

}

 

then in the View i have

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage<ReplyFormModel>

and in the actual form i have

@Html.Hidden("commentid", Model.ParentId)

 

 

Names are:

uCommentsyReplyFormSurface when using in @Html.Action. C# controller name is uCommentsyReplyFormSurfaceController.cs

Model Name is ReplyFormModel with C# name as ReplyFormModel.cs

The view is uCommentsyFormReply.cshtml

Maybe this info might help because I know in MVC there is this naming convention.

 

Thank  you

 

 

 

I got it!

@Html.Action("Index", "uCommentsyReplyFormSurface", new { CurrentPage, CommentParentID = cid })

 

For the ParentID, should i pass the parentid in a hidden field? If yes how do i do this ?

I apologize. I am learning MVC on the fly.

 

OH YEAH!!!! I should just post stuff here. I keep getting it right when I ask. But if i dont i get stuck. Why is that?

Anyway, to anyone who needs a reply to comment functionality. Just reuse comment model, view and controller but add additionl stuff mentioned above.

Also, do not forget to allow comments to be a child not to uCommentsy in umbraco. 

Also here are some corrections from 

In the index method change return statement to:

ReplyFormModel rfm = newReplyFormModel();

rfm.ParentId = CommentParentID;

return PartialView("/Views/Partials/uCommentsy/Forms/uCommentsyFormReply.cshtml", rfm);

 

then for the view script use: Now, I am not sure if we actually need to hidden field there.

using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm("Post", "uCommentsyReplyFormSurface", FormMethod.Post, new { @class = "uCommentsy_comment_form" }))

    {

 

        @Html.HiddenFor(x => Model.ParentId)

 

In the Post method of your controller do not forget to add

var commentInfo = newCommentInfo(model.ParentId, model.Name, model.Email, model.Website, model.Message, Request.IsAuthenticated, absoluteUri, DateTime.UtcNow);

original one had no model.ParentId. Do not forget to add another property in CommentInfo class and also create a new constructor. which accepts 8 parameters instead of 7

In the CreateComment method (being called in post by Post -> CommentService.Instance.SubmitComment method), instead of checking for -1,

check if zero:

var commentsFolder = EnsureCommentsFolder(node);

int parentID = commentsFolder.Id;

if (commentInfo.ParentID != 0) {

parentID = commentInfo.ParentID;

 

}

then ofcourse use parentID variable instead of commentsFolder.Id when inserting to DB.

Hopefully i can help someone. Now all i have to do is figure out how to display.

Will update this post if i figure it out.
