Thankfully this was documented on the wiki too, so no digging around the forum:

Should have probably checked this early but it appears viewing all comments IS actually an option thats in the core. You just need to view - yoursite/PageComment/rss. No need for custom code yays!

just playing round but it might be nice for users to be able to subscribe as well I guess. If you want to add a little RSS icon in the browser window add this code to your Page_Controller -> init() function

RSSFeed::linkToFeed($this->Link() . "commentrss", "Latest Comments");

That will create a link in the <head> section to the commentrss feed and a nice little icon in the browser!

Hey Willr

That would be great if this feature was built in!

Could you please be a bit more specific on the instructions? Where do i paste the code from pastie etc?

Thanks

we have been discussing the idea of email notification - theres a ticket on open about it assigned to me. I think and so do a few others that email is to invasive and so an RSS is the way to go. I have written up a little method that seems to work for me :D

Check it out at http://pastie.caboo.se/187947. Pretty simple function, just select the comments as dataobjects and output to an RSS feed!

I have that in the Page_Controller class and to view / subscribe its available at yoursite.com/home/commentrss.

If you have any improvements on it that would be great to hear!

[b]EDIT: this is actually built-into silverstripes page comment class. I should have looked more throughly - Visit yoursite.com/PageComment/rss to see the latest comments. No need for custom code[/b]
