Answered Display discussion thread replies below AMS articles

[Pixelgorillas]

Hello,

I’m using AMS with article discussion threads enabled.

Currently, readers can click the “Join Discussion” button and view the linked XenForo thread, while AMS comments are displayed separately below the article.

What I would like to achieve instead is:

• Disable or ignore the AMS comment system
• Display the latest discussion thread replies directly below the article
• Show perhaps the last 5 replies from the linked discussion thread
• Include a reply box directly below those replies so users can participate in the discussion without leaving the article page
• Keep all replies stored in the XenForo discussion thread (not as AMS comments)

Example layout:

Article Content

Discussion

Post #1

Post #2

Post #3

Post #4

Post #5

Is there a built-in option, template modification, or recommended approach to achieve this with AMS?

I can see that $article.Discussion is available within the article template, but I’m unsure whether the linked thread posts can be rendered directly on the article page.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey

Something like this would require a massive amount of customization (programming and templating). It's not something that I can write a customization how to for, it is just way to large and complex of a customization.

I can see that $article.Discussion is available within the article template, but I’m unsure whether the linked thread posts can be rendered directly on the article page.

That is only the Thread Entity, not all the Entities, functions and what not to replicate a complete thread with all of its functions. The thread Entity just contains information about the Thread itself, no post data.
