ABAP Comment System

Attach a commenting system to any SAP application/object/transaction.
Let the users chat about documents, take note, reply and like comments as in a blog post comments feed.

Requirements

v7.40 SP08

Usage

Create a comment system object anywhere, using an object_id identifying the context to which the comments will be attached: it can be the transaction/application name, a key for a SAP document or a custom object, it can a be a string but also a structure or a more complex object. Keep in mind: only one corresponding comment system will be loaded for each object id.

DATA(comment_system) = zcl_cmt_system=>create_comment_system( object_id ).

Trigger the comment system by calling display method

comment_system->display( ).

Comments will pop-up in a dedicated window. Using the optional settings parameter you can control pop-up coordinates and title.

If you use the SAP GUI, in order to properly display the css style, I suggest you to set "Edge" as HTML control for GUI, instead of "Internet Explorer".

Features

  1. Any user can like any comment
  2. Each user can delete their own comment
  3. Comment author name is the user full name (if empty, the user id will be used)
  4. The avatar contains user name initials with a random background
  5. Main comments can have replies, and replies can be exploded or collapsed
  6. Get the number of unread comments by calling comment_system->notify_to_read( ), so you can e.g. trigger the comment by means of a button with dynamic text "Comment (3 to read)" or something like this
  7. Don't you like pop-ups? Create a custom container for comment section and a custom container for textarea, then display comments by calling 
    comment_system->display_in_container(
  section_container   = `C_SECTION`
  textarea_contaienr  = `C_TEXTAREA` ).
