Commentsblock

Why

Often people want to put something between the comments an the body or they want to put a block between the comment form and the comments. Or they just want to be able to sort by date ...Thats why this module was created.

What it does

Put comments and comment from in a block
OR
Put only comment form in a block and use a views block to display comments.

Additional it forces the "add new comment" button to always show up inside a node (standard is only show up if there is more than one comment).

Ajax Comments?

Just use: http://drupal.org/project/ajax_comments
ONLY works with the normal mode (when comments not displayed using views)

Views: Filtering, ajax pager ..

This module ships with a views block. SO you can use all the power of views, meaning ajax pagers, exposing filters ....

Display Types

At the moment this module supports two display types.

1.) Put the comments+the form all into one block
2.) Put the comment form in a block and use a views block to display the comments.

Other Modules Drupal 6/7

A similar module exists for Drupal 6 (also inspiration for this module)
http://drupal.org/project/commentblock
https://www.drupal.org/project/node_comment_block
https://www.drupal.org/project/comment_block

Version 1.x
Legacy version, no further updates. Main difference between 1.x and 2.x is the generation of the block content. 1.x renders the comments and 2.x will extract the comments variable and put it into a block.

Version 2.x
Will come soon and will implement the logic from http://drupal.org/project/comment_block to generate the block.
The new version will work with
http://drupal.org/project/ajax_comments

The view can still be used to display the comments and only load the comment form. This method is not compatible with ajax_comments as it generates a whole different markup from views.
