I think it could be done. I see the plugin uses shortcodes so we could add option to add custom tabs via elementor and place the wpdiscuz shortcode there.
I've played with this comments plugin yesterday trying to make it work in the in-calendar view.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it work. Its code is written in a way that it's nearly impossible to include it via ajax without breaking it. I've looked in their developers documentation but couldn't find solution to this and I don't think it's supported feature at all.
You could ask the developer if there's a way to display the comments form via ajax on a page that's not related to the comments form post.
Basically what I'm looking for is:
php function that loads all necessary css and js on the page.
php function that renders the comments form html for given post id.
javascript function that initializes the form after the form's html is appended.
Zhivko, thanks for replying, at least we know the outcome! :=) From my screenshot, could you tell me if I configured the customised TABS correctly. It seems to be a bit limited. After adding the cose in my function.php I can only put text in the field title. is it supposed to be like that ?
Is it possible to use to comments from wordpress natively?
I be clear I want to use to comments from Wordpress
Go to Dashboard -> STEC -> General -> Single Page tab and uncheck "Disable page comments".
This will enable your default comments section on your events single pages.

I cant select another template see the attached file
I want to select the template I make but I cant
I finally understood, I have to open my events as a page not as a calendar which is not the same for me, I am losing my links to my user's profile
Single Page page template affects the event's single page only and not the in-calendar event content.
Customizing the in-calendar event content is planned for Elementor in future update.

So can I use my built in comments?
Are they part of your theme or coming from other plugin?

if I can use wpdiscuz will be good

I will try it
it looks like wpdiscuz dosnt use shortcode
I've seen workarounds like this one:
function my_wpdiscuz_shortcode() {if(file_exists(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/templates/comment/comment-form.php')){
include_once ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/templates/comment/comment-form.php';
}
} add_shortcode( 'wpdiscuz_comments', 'my_wpdiscuz_shortcode' );
Then you could call "wpdiscuz_comments" to get your comments form.

Zhivko, thanks for giving me the idea !!! but unfortunately the code is too old. I found this one instead:
function my_wpdiscuz_shortcode() { $html = ""; if (file_exists(ABSPATH . "wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/themes/default/comment-form.php")) { ob_start(); include_once ABSPATH . "wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/themes/default/comment-form.php"; $html = ob_get_clean(); } return $html;}add_shortcode("wpdiscuz_comments", "my_wpdiscuz_shortcode");So, the shortcode seem working fine
but I dont know how to make it work with Stachethemes Event Calendar. please help :=)
Zhivko, I did the custom tabs but it doesn't seem to work

Yes, that's how it should look like. The example from the article inserts simple input.
It can be converted to textarea.
What do you want to do with this tab?
Stachethemes Developer
Well, nothing in particular I am just exploring the functionality of the plugin.
Thanks :=)
