TOPIC: Open comments in popup ajax modal

I would like to be able to have a link on my page which would open comments in a popup modal ajax window. I read with interest this post: compojoom.com/forum/ccomment-core/18877-...-raw-html-view#25552
which I think has some of the same requirements.

My goal is to have a table with a list of topics. When the user clicks on the topic link the modal popup will display showing the comments for this topic. A user could add a new comment if they wanted. Standard moderation configuration should apply. Closing the popup returns them to the list. I can pass a reference ID in the link which would link to the ID in the comments DB.

I had considered making an article for each item in my list and then causing the article to display in the popup window, but this seems a little overkill and I don't really want to create hundreds of dummy articles simply to display the comments.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how I would be best to create this functionality? I am not afraid of writing code to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Alex,
This is something that ccomment can't do. I think that you'll be better with a custom solution tailored to your needs.

Thanks Daniel.
Can you clarify? What part can't ccoment do?

It can't do what you want it out of the box and it won't be a simple 1 line code change to achieve what you want. You'll have to hack a lot of stuff and that's why I think that it would be simpler to create something specific for your needs.

Regards,
Daniel
