Option to close sitewide commenting for a specific time (ie. from midnight to 6 am.) #4553

Open superklass opened 6 months ago

superklass commented 6 months ago

Hello Coral-Team!

I would like to ask if there already is a function available for closing sitewide commenting within a timeframe. Ie. daily from midnight until 6 am. in the morning.

I know we can manually close the commenting sitewide, But what we are looking for is an option to do this automatically , on a daily basis, for certain hours.

There should be a option in the coral admin interface to set a time for closing sitewide commenting. Best case would be to be able to set the from/to time on a daily basis (Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa. Sun) and hours from/to. Within this timeframe it should not be possible for users to add new comments.

An option like this would help our community management with their work a lot.

Thanks a lot, Eric

Thanks Eric. This isn't something we've had requested before, so it's not a priority for us (though of course you can always submit a PR to add it to our codebase.) I'd be interested to hear if anyone else here has a flow like this.

I'd like to add to this that we would be interested as well. Currently we manually close them every evening and open them again in the mornings.

In the short term I don't have time to create a PR for this, but might do so in the future if I have some extra time and no one has picked this up yet

This would be very nice. We plan to use CoralTalk in the future but our current comment system is closed between midnight and 6am.

Since there is already a switch to disable/enable "Sitewide commenting" - would it be possible to solve this with a cronjob and the API ?

+1, our Moderation team also closes commenting for all of our sites between midnight and 7 a.m. They would spare some time with this feature each day.
