 Description   

It is not clear to customers what the situation is with this module in current bundles, see SUPPORT-7226. The goal of this ticket is to try to remove as much config leftovers as possible. Ideally, only the JAR needed by commenting should be visible.

Pointers from grooming:

  • do we only use code from forum, or also config, in commenting?
  • if we make it a JAR and remove the MD => how can commenting check that it's here or not?
  • should we release a new commenting major version with the code forum needs included?

Comment by Richard Gange [ 17/Oct/17 ]

In the end this is what we have:

  • The forum module (by itself) no longer makes sense. It's functionality was broken by MGNLFORUM-293.
  • The commenting module can be used in 5.5 but it requires the forum module to be installed. We use the forum app for moderating comments.

In case we want to keep commenting, all agreed that the way to go would be to merge commenting & forum so user wouldn't have to go to the forum app when they want to moderate comments but had just a comments app.

This did not happen in the end. To use commenting in 5.5 requires that your install the forum module as well.
