Decouple Comment module from Tracker

Created on 30 January 2009, almost 16 years ago
Updated 22 April 2024, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The tracker module currently depends on the comment module even if some of it's functions are not related to comments at all (eg. see if a node has been created/updated since our last visit). Sites that does not have comments or that's using another comment module than the core's one (eg. Disqus) cannot use the abilities of Tracker on nodes.

Proposed resolution

Remove comment module dependency and use a condition wherever it's needed to keep existing functionnalities active if the comment module is installed.

Remaining tasks

<!-- See https://drupal.org/core-mentoring/novice-tasks for tips on identifying novice tasks. Delete or add "Novice" from the Novice? column in the table below as appropriate. Uncomment tasks as the issue advances. Update the Complete? column to indicate when they are done, and maybe reference the comment number where they were done. -->

User interface changes

Comment module is no longer required to enable tracker module.

    It is used to alert the product manager core committer(s) that an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the "user experience" of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. If an issue significantly affects the usability of Drupal, use Needs usability review instead (see the governance policy draft for more information).
