How to find a person’s comments on VKontakte

This page will help you quickly find mentions of a person in VK comments and his comments themselves. You need the person's ID or a link to their page.

On VKontakte you can find a person’s comments that he wrote somewhere if you look for mentions of this person in discussions where he participated. Then, if you open posts with replies to his comments, it’s easy to see the user’s comments themselves.

Enter the person's ID here, for example, 12345678 or id12345678 , or a link to the page, for example, https://vk.com/id12345678 and press Find or the Enter button on the keyboard:

How does search work?

VK has a search by mentions (when someone replies to a comment, a mention of the person whose comment is being responded to is automatically inserted at the beginning). True, it is not explicitly mentioned either in the mobile application or on the VK website. To find all mentions of a specific user in VK, you need to create a special link:

https://vk.com/feed?obj=XXXXXXXX§ion=mentions

Here XXXXXXXX is the id of this user. This must be a digital ID, without the letters “id” at the beginning. If the user has made a “beautiful name” for the page (for example, vk.com/krasivoe_imya), then first you need to find out the digital ID by this name. Our form does all this.

Please note that the search function is officially provided by the VK website, and we have only made its use more convenient.

If not a single comment is found and the message “Here you will see messages from friends mentioning you” appears, it means that VK could not find mentions of this person in discussions. This does not mean that he does not comment on anything (although there are such people). Perhaps there are his comments somewhere that no one has responded to, or his comments are in closed communities or on closed people's pages.

We monitor comments on the site in the “Comments” widget from VKontakte

Why, why and how

It so happened that our project needed comments from VKontakte, but so that we could monitor the comments. Because There are so many pages on the site that it is unrealistic to view all the pages and check them every day. There were a lot of ways, for example, sending an e-mail message with every comment. If you use the “comment - notification” method, then there will be a bunch of letters, but there is a way out - collecting new messages and sending one e-mail letter.

We monitor and punish

Let's get started.
First of all, let's look into the widget's documentation. Add a widget to the page VK.init({apiId: *******, onlyWidgets: true}); VK.Widgets.Comments("vk_comments", {limit: 10, width: "496", attach: "*", autoPublish: 0});

We read the documentation and see that the widget transmits two events to us via VK.Observer

with parameters
num
,
last_comment
,
date
,
sign
(for more details, see the link to the documentation): 1)
widgets.comments.new_comment
- adding a new comment 2)
widgets.comments.delete_comment
- deleting a comment

It turns out that we can follow the actions without problems. Because I need to receive a response and perform certain actions, I will use Jquery. Add

We also add an action handler before

VK.Observer.subscribe('widgets.comments.new_comment', function(num,last_comment,date,sign){onComment(num,last_comment,date,sign,'new');}); VK.Observer.subscribe('widgets.comments.delete_comment',function(num,last_comment,date,sign){onComment(num,last_comment,date,sign,'del');});

+ notification function

function onComment(num,last_comment,date,sign,action){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "test.php", cache: false, data:{"num":num,"last_comment": last_comment,"date":date,'sign':sign,'action':action}, success: function(html){ // What we will do when we receive a response. } }); }

Now we set up our PHP script. Personally, I decided to use the method of writing new comments to the database with the field value approve=0

to show the script unprocessed comments. We will not write all the code, but will write only the main thing - request authentication and the type of action. To do this, we need to find out the “Protected Application Key”. Go to “Administration” of the widget, “Assign an administrator”, go to the “Settings” menu item.

You can enter the number of comments, the comments themselves, and the date of commenting into the database. Then, we write a script that will be called using cron, check the database for new comments and, if there are any, send a letter to the owner. You can also add an entry to the script in the database of the parameter $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

to determine which page the comment was posted from. When we receive a letter, we look for any unwanted or interesting comments and punish/encourage users.

Disappointment

Unfortunately, I did not find the events in the documentation: 1) If the user deleted and restored the comment 2) There was a response to the comment. Perhaps I was looking poorly.
If something doesn't work - widget documentation

Enable wall comments

To allow other VKontakte members to comment on posts you shared on your wall, follow these steps:

Log in to your VK account.
Click on the photo thumbnail in the upper right corner.
Select "Settings".

In the block on the right, click on the “Privacy” link.
Scroll to the "Posts per Page" group of options.

Here we are interested in two settings: “Who can comment on my posts” and “Who sees comments on posts.” If you click on the selected parameter to the right of the line, you will be able to select the category of users who are allowed to perform the action. To open commenting, you should set the value to “All users” or “Only friends”.

The procedure is completed, no further action is required. The same settings will apply when publishing a post in a group, unless the opposite is set when creating a post.

Including comments under photos

In order for social network participants to be able to leave their comments under photos published in albums, it is necessary to set the appropriate settings. This is done as follows:

Click on the “Photos” links in the left menu block.
Display all albums by clicking the corresponding button.
Hover over the album where you want to include comments.
Click on the pencil icon.

A settings block will appear where you can change the album cover, specify its name and description, and also set the parameters we need. Next to the line “Who can comment on photos,” click on the link. A pop-up menu will appear where you can select the category of users who are allowed to leave reviews under the pictures. For full access you need to set it to “All users”. However, do not forget about the “Who can view this album” setting, because if a person cannot see the photo, then he will not be able to comment on it. It should provide similar access.

We recommend: How to disable comments in a VKontakte group

For other albums, follow the same steps. When creating a new one, the settings are set in the same way.

How to see other people's comments

There are several ways to see all comments of a VKontakte user. With their help, you will see not only comments, but also the posts to which they were left, as well as the responses of other users to this person.

From computer

If you use the full version of VK, then there are plenty of options to look at comments from other users. Choose the one that suits you best from those described below.

Friends' comments

You can look in VK where a person left comments directly on your page, but only if this person is on your friends list. To do this you need to do the following:

Go to your VK page.
Open the "News" section.
On the right side you have the “Updates” button, click on it.

This way you will open a list of all the updates that have happened to your friends. Here you can see not only the comments left by a person on VK, but also what posts he posted on his wall or who he added as friends.

You will see exactly the post that your friend commented on. You will need to open it and manually scroll through all the comments in search of the same one.

As you understand, such instructions are only good if you are looking for a record of a specific person. But if you, for example, decide to increase comments, how will you search for the desired notification? And will it be possible to track them?

Comments from any users

You can look at other people's comments on VK in which they addressed you or another person. To do this, there is a special code that needs to be inserted into the address bar of the browser. It looks like this: https://vk.com/feed?obj=12345678&q=§ion=mentions, where instead of the numbers “12345678” you need to insert the ID of the desired user.

If you don't know what an ID is, read about it here...

So, to use this method, follow these steps:

Copy the line https://vk.com/feed?obj=12345678&q=§ion=mentions.
Open a new browser tab and paste it into the address bar.
Now go to the page of the person whose comment you want to find.
Copy it in the address bar (numbers or letters only).
Go to the tab that you opened at the very beginning and instead of the numbers “12345678”, paste the copied ID.
Press Enter.

Now a list will open in front of you where you can see what the person commented on VK. More precisely, you will see mentions of this person’s name in the responses of other users. To find his comment, you will have to open the post and, as in the first method, scroll through all the comments in search of the one you need.

The peculiarity of this method is that you can see all the comments on another person’s VK, even if he has a private profile. The only thing is that this method may not work on your device, but we recommend you try.

Liked comments

If you once liked another person’s comment and now you want to find it, you can do this in just a couple of clicks:

Go to your page.
Go to the news tab.
On the right, in the list of settings, click on the inscription “Like”.
You will see a list of everything you liked on VK (posts, photos, videos, comments, etc.). This is the easiest way to see your likes.
To filter the results, use the field just below and uncheck all the checkboxes, leaving only one next to the word “Comments”.

As you can see, all the methods discussed are quite convenient and simple. You can choose the most optimal one for yourself and use it every time you need it.

Hidden comments

It happens that you go to the page of another user, whose friends list you are not on, and you see that viewing comments under his posts or photos is hidden by privacy settings. What to do if you still want to read them?

The only way to see hidden comments of another person on VK is to add him as a friend. But, unfortunately, this method does not give you any guarantees, since commenting can be configured in such a way that it will only be available to some friends. There's nothing you can do about it.

On the Internet, you may come across advertisements for various applications that promise you access to hidden information. But you shouldn't believe them. Firstly, all these applications can hardly provide access to hidden comments, but they will gladly gain access to your login and password for the page, as well as your phone number or even account. And secondly, viewing someone else’s hidden information is a serious offense for which you may face very real liability.

From phone

Unfortunately, from your phone you can only view comments that have been marked with a heart:

Log in to your VK account.
Open the main menu by double-clicking on the “Profile” icon (bottom right).

Select "Like"
You will see a list of all the posts you have liked. To display only comments, click Comments at the top of the list.

You can try all the other methods described above by logging into VK from your computer.

How to view your comments

Let's now figure out how to view the comments that you left yourself. You can do this in just a couple of clicks.

From computer

If you were wondering “How to see what comments I wrote on VKontakte,” then the following method is the fastest and easiest:

Go to your VK page.
Go to the news section.
On the right you will see a panel with different links. Find “Comments” on it and click on the inscription.
You will see a list of all the posts under which you left your opinion.
Below are the settings. By unchecking the boxes next to the values, you can filter the results.

In filters, you can, for example, remove all checkboxes except “Photos” and then your comments related only to the photo will be displayed. In general, there is nothing complicated and you will quickly find your way around the settings.

From phone

To view all your comments, you can use the popular Kate Mobile application, which can be easily downloaded from Google Play:
