Should a friend/follower be able to post a comment or 'status' update on another friend/follower's timeline? Similar to Facebook? Not sure if that's ever been asked here....

The actions are more like twitter than like facebook.

You could over-ride the template for the module your after to put the comment form in I would think. Haven't tried it though.

Every module that wants to opt-in to the Acitons feed has a template called item_action.tpl

That template determines how the output of the action looks.

So you could, at skin level, over-ride any of those item_actions.tpl files to put in a comments form if you wanted.

As it stands any logged in user can comment on anybodies items. If the item owner doesn't want that, he can set his privacy option to 'Followers Only'.

If only it were that simple.

I think it's important to know that JR5 "actions" and timeline are modeled after Twitter (since Twitter has about the easiest follow/unfollow/friends setup of any social media site, and we wanted JR to be easy to use).

If you're going to try to emulate a more complicated "friends" type setup like Facebook has, it's probably going to require new modules to get it all working.

Jmaroom's follower setup is equal to twitter's. Plus you have the ability to modify it.
