===Background on Wall features===
Walls / comments is simply a commenting system in Jom Social. It allows comments to be placed on 3rd party applications within the system just like the walls /comments you see on the core applications. Before even beginning writing the codes to integrate the walls / comments into your 3rd party application, you should by now fairly understand how Jom Social works and you should by now have at least a little knowledge on the Joomla!™ MVC framework.

===Including necessary libraries===
The first step, is to include the necessary library so that your application can start using them.
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
require_once( JPATH_COMPONENT . DS . 'libraries' . DS . 'wall.php' );
</syntaxhighlight>
<br />

===Usage===
After including the necessary files, all you have to do now is to get the form for the walls /comments and the contents of the walls / comments.

'''Getting the forms'''<br />
To get the form's HTML content, you simply need to issue the following block of codes. The parameters are explained below,
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$form = CWallLibrary::getWall( $uniqueID , $applicationName );
</syntaxhighlight>
<br />
'''$uniqueID :''' This parameter is required and it tells the wall system that a wall / comment is made on this specific unique id.

'''$applicationName :''' This parameter is required and it tells the wall system to call your AJAX methods within your class. It should always have the prefix of 'plugins,' followed by your application name. E.g:

This example, selects the unique id for the specific image that is being commented on.
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();

$query = 'SELECT `id` FROM ' . $db->nameQuote('#__myapplication_images');
$db->setQuery( $query );

$uniqueID = $db->loadResult();

if($db->getErrorNum())
{
JError::raiseError( 500, $db->stderr());
}
</syntaxhighlight>
