Do you have an example of how display the User that posted the comment in the view?

Hello! There is DummyApp. Try to run it

If it's not solve your problem - let me know,

Comments tree builds with TheSortableTree gem

TheComments gem has RenderHelper

https://github.com/the-teacher/the_comments/blob/master/app/helpers/render_comments_tree_helper.rb

If you need to build custom comments view, you can copy this helper into your project and change code in it

I'll have to find the time to learn haml :-)

Literally all I want to do is display "comment.user.fname" in the view…do you know how I do that in haml?

<p class="username"><%= comment.user.fname %></p>

Haml

%p.username= comment.user.fname

Ok, I've got that.

I modified _comment_body.html.haml and I don't see my changes. Even if I just drop in static text…do I need to recompile assets or something?

nice question! No, you should not.

_comment_body.html.haml - it's not view of element of comments tree. It's a part of internal admin views.

TheComments based on TheSortableTree. TheSortableTree used for rendering special render helper. I don't use partials or standart views because it's have problems with perfomance.

TheComments define own RenderHelper for TheSortableTree - it placed here - https://github.com/the-teacher/the_comments/blob/master/app/helpers/render_comments_tree_helper.rb

for customization of your comments tree you should use

bundle exec rails g the_comments:views helper

it's will copy render helper into your project. And change it as you wish.
