    Hi, is it possible to edit already posted comment in quip in front end? I know it is possible in manager, but want to add this option for user who posted this comment. So far there is only Remove option.

    Any idea how to modify quip to make this work?

    This question has been answered by charless. See the first response.

      Currently there is not a way that I'm aware of for editing the comment on the front end with the packaged install. Then for the last part on how to make it work, well you could write a custom snippet that would pass in the quip id information and then render a form to edit and save the changes back to the quip table. Major item of concern is security in allowing that level of editing on the comments unless your restrict to Manager context users with an appropriate level of access to view/edit the comments which I believe defeats your intent unless your require all users to be logged in prior to posting comments. Then you could use the "author" field based on the authenticated user.

      Cheers
