  • Keywords reporter-feedback added

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "comments"? Do you mean activity replies? If so, I can't reproduce the issue - the "x comments" button changes as I'd expect (and also, I don't see a "show all" link).

You can see the show all. when you are logged in it says show all 6 comments. If you delete a comment the number doesn't change and if you delete and then click the show all link it shows the previously deleted comments.

  • Component changed from Core to Activity
  • Keywords needs-patch added; reporter-feedback removed
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 1.8
  • Priority changed from normal to low
  • Severity changed from normal to minor

Thanks for the additional details. I've confirmed both issues. Neither one is a regression; the same problems appear in the 1.6 branch.

fadeOut just sets the item's display property to none and leaves it in the DOM. Added a callback to it to remove it from the DOM after the effect is completed.

I don't think updating the X in "Show all X comments" is worth the trouble. I think it's pretty understandable from the user's point of view.

In 7000:

When activity comments are deleted via AJAX, remove them from the DOM entirely

Previously, deleted comments were merely hidden using jQuery.fadeOut(). As a
result, when the show/hide comment button was toggled - applying $.show() to
all comment items - the comments would appear again, even though they had been
deleted from the server. Removing them from the DOM ensures that this won't
happen.

I don't think updating the X in "Show all X comments" is worth the trouble. I think it's pretty understandable from the user's point of view.

I might've been tempted to agree with this. But then I looked at the way this string is currently generated, and was so repulsed that I knew it had to be rewritten :) Basically, we were piecing it together like this: "Show all" + " " + comment_count + " " + "comments". Beyond being breathtakingly ugly, this is extremely untranslatable.

I've refactored the way that the show-all text is generated, so that (a) it's possible to translate it, and (b) it's easy to write javascript to update the number after deletion. Win-win!

In 7002:

Update 'Show all x comments' count after creating or deleting activity comments

On activity permalink pages, the comment list is collapsed if the item has more
than 6 responses, and a link is appended that reads 'Show all x comments'. This
changeset introduces additional JavaScript to update this count when a new
activity comment is created, or an existing one is deleted, via AJAX.

In the process of making the change, the logic for constructing the 'Show all
x comments' string was changed, so that it's now properly translatable.

Also cached a JS variable that was being used many times, to avoid unnecessary
DOM traversal.

Fixes #4844
