Your patch for the Ajax Comments module effectively addresses a critical database malfunction caused by simultaneous comment deletion and reply attempts. By re-validating the existence of the parent comment within ajax_comments_preview_js and ajax_comments_submit_js, you've introduced a crucial safeguard. This prevents the creation of orphaned comment records (pid = 0) and the subsequent cascading errors that previously necessitated manual database intervention. The proposed solution of removing the form and displaying an error message provides a clean and user-friendly way to handle this race condition.

The proposed solution of removing the form and displaying an error message provides a clean and user-friendly way to handle this race condition.
Your patch effectively addresses the issue by adding a validation step to check if the parent comment still exists before allowing a reply to be submitted. This prevents broken thread structures and database errors caused by replies to deleted comments. Milestone Mastercard For full reliability, consider also adding a server-side validation during comment submission to ensure replies to deleted comments are blocked even if the AJAX layer is bypassed
The proposed patch for the Ajax Comments module addresses a critical database malfunction that occurred when a user replied to a comment that was simultaneously being deleted by a moderator. The core issue was that a reply comment was being saved with a pid (parent ID) of 0, leading to a cascade of errors for all subsequent comments. The patch adds a crucial validation step within the ajax_comments_preview_js and ajax_comments_submit_js functions. This new check verifies the existence of the parent comment just before the reply is submitted. If the parent comment is no longer found, the patch removes the comment form and displays MyCardStatement an error message, effectively preventing the database corruption from happening. This is a solid solution that prevents a race condition from causing a major site-wide issue.
