Commentary in article section???

[elpvn]

Commentary section was set to "no-one" by Elxis CMS default.

So how to set the commentary for everyone (include unregister members) by default at every article?
However, when I test by post a comment on an article, then clear cache to show it below that artilce, but it still not appear? Why? How to fix it?

Thank everyone for help and support!

Commentary section was set to "no-one" by Elxis CMS default.

So how to set the commentary for everyone (include unregister members) by default at every article?

/public_html/administrator/components/com_content/content.xml
and look at the end of the file for these lines:
 <param name="post_comments" type="list" default="0" dir="rtl" label="AX_COMMENTARY" description="AX_COMMENTARYD">
         <option value="0">AX_NOONE</option>
         <option value="1">AX_REGUSERS</option>
         <option value="2">AX_ALL</option>
   </param>

modify the default="0"   (eg. for all use default="2" ) and from now on all new articles will have as default to allow all users submit comments.

NOTE  that in every case comments are  auto-published only for registered users..
Also for any article that pre-exists of this mofication =>you have to edit again  the parameters to override the value stored in db

However, when I test by post a comment on an article, then clear cache to show it below that artilce, but it still not appear?Huh Why? How to fix it?

I think this is what you missing=> comments are  "auto-published only for registered users"

i repeat...

basically you have to login as admin to fronted and accept the comments that guests have submit

read the wiki there are all there!

Posting Comments

If user comments are enabled for a content item and you are allowed to post comments then Elxis will display you a form to add a new comment. If you are a visitor your comment will stay unpublished until the article's author or a site's super administrator publish it. Elxis sends a notification e-mail to the article's author in order to notify him about the new added unpublished comment. Registered users comments are published automatically. HTML is not allowed inside comments. Elxis will strip out any html tags may found in your comment and it will also remove some special characters that could be dangerous. Elxis will also convert URLs to click able links. So, if you wish to add a link in your comment just type the URL.

Well, I know, for now just ask for this problem: How to confirm visitor comments in the administrator back-end? I can't find anywhere to done that task in administrator section? Show me any link or solution to solves it, please?

Thanks a milion time

How to confirm the visitor comments in the administrator back-end?

read carefully what i have written above:
basically you have to login as admin to fronted and accept the comments that guests have submit

only in fronted if you login as admin.. you will see the links ..as the picture shows.

edit..
although wiki mention it and have an image showing the links you asking for .. i decided to make it more clear ..
I  updated wiki entry..

Dear ks-net, me too have a to ask something:

In case i have many articles and some registered user comments on them (comment automaticaly published) does elxis notifies me of that?
Is there a way to not surf daily the entire site searching for new comments?
I searched unsuccesfully the forum for this option.
Thanks

Luca

[ks-net]

you will be informed by email when a comment needs to be approved these are the comments from guests

since register-users comments are auto published .. no approval needed and no email will be send to administrator.

this is the way that it works!


EDIT a quick hack to sent an email to article author .. always... on registered-users or guest comment submission

   

   if (!$auto_publish) {
         $database->setQuery("SELECT name, email, preflang FROM #__users WHERE id='".$row['created_by']."' AND block='0'");
         $recipient = $database->loadRow();
         if ($recipient) {
            $prlang = new prefLang();
            $prlang->load($recipient['preflang']);

            $msg = $prlang->lng->_E_HI.' '.$recipient['name'].",<br />\r\n";
            $msg .= sprintf($prlang->lng->_E_NEWCOMBYTITLE, '<b>'.$com->author.'</b>', '<b>'.$row['title'].'</b>')."<br />\r\n";
                $msg .= $prlang->lng->_E_COMMENTS.": ".$com->cmessage."<br /><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= $prlang->lng->_E_COMSTAYUNPUB."<br />\r\n";
            $msg .= 'URL: <a href="'.$redLink.'">'.$redLink."</a><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= $prlang->lng->_DATE.": ".mosFormatDate($this->now)."<br /><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<a href="'.$mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'">'.$mainframe->getCfg('sitename').'</a>';
            $msg .= "<br /><br /><br /><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<small>Generated by '.$_VERSION->PRODUCT.' '.$_VERSION->RELEASE.'.'.$_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL.' ('.$_VERSION->CODENAME.')</small>';
            $msg .= "<br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<small>'.$_VERSION->COPYRIGHT.'</small><br />';
            mosMail($mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom'), $mainframe->getCfg('fromname'), $recipient['email'], $prlang->lng->_E_NEWCOMNOTIF, $msg, 1);
         }
      }

      //if (!$auto_publish) {  comment out
         $database->setQuery("SELECT name, email, preflang FROM #__users WHERE id='".$row['created_by']."' AND block='0'");
         $recipient = $database->loadRow();
         if ($recipient) {
            $prlang = new prefLang();
            $prlang->load($recipient['preflang']);

            $msg = $prlang->lng->_E_HI.' '.$recipient['name'].",<br />\r\n";
            $msg .= sprintf($prlang->lng->_E_NEWCOMBYTITLE, '<b>'.$com->author.'</b>', '<b>'.$row['title'].'</b>')."<br />\r\n";
                $msg .= $prlang->lng->_E_COMMENTS.": ".$com->cmessage."<br /><br />\r\n";
                                if (!$auto_publish) {
            $msg .= $prlang->lng->_E_COMSTAYUNPUB."<br />\r\n";
                                 }
            $msg .= 'URL: <a href="'.$redLink.'">'.$redLink."</a><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= $prlang->lng->_DATE.": ".mosFormatDate($this->now)."<br /><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<a href="'.$mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'">'.$mainframe->getCfg('sitename').'</a>';
            $msg .= "<br /><br /><br /><br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<small>Generated by '.$_VERSION->PRODUCT.' '.$_VERSION->RELEASE.'.'.$_VERSION->DEV_LEVEL.' ('.$_VERSION->CODENAME.')</small>';
            $msg .= "<br />\r\n";
            $msg .= '<small>'.$_VERSION->COPYRIGHT.'</small><br />';
            mosMail($mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom'), $mainframe->getCfg('fromname'), $recipient['email'], $prlang->lng->_E_NEWCOMNOTIF, $msg, 1);
         }
      //}  comment out

Thank you so much.
That is. I would suggest that as a permanent feature (on-off) as it would be much more clever.
As for followup and so on.. control.. etc.

Many thanks and thumbs up all the time.

Luca

[Luca]

Oh.
And what about the admin being notified upon new comments, no matter from anonymous or registered, please.
It's important to know what's going on in your site.
Cheers

If "quick hack" means that I suggested something useful and that it will be taken in consideration on later releases I am happy, then, to having contributed to a better environment.
