Originally asked by Mena Goyen on 27 August 2019 (original question)

Hi there,

What is the best way to insert the original creation date of the comment in the synchronised comment? Right now it just shows the name of the comment author and comment text, for auditability reasons it would be beneficial to also have the original creation date. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Mena

Hi Mena Goyen

You can easily modify the formatting of the receiving comment. For instance

920×143 20.3 KB

(the code can be found here)

  • Line 1 - calls the mergeComments method
    the third argument is a closure which gets executed for each comment that is in the replica
  • Line 3,4,5,6 set the comment body
    to a combination of the displayName, the created date, and the body
  • Line 4 - comment.created?.format()
    Format the comment created date to day-month-year
  • Line 5 - insert a new line

Thanks that worked, if we also wanted the time stamp how would we add that?

Check the format specs here

I didn’t try it but something like ‘HH:mm:ss’ should do it.
