    • Enabling comments

    Posted by vishal

    Hi,

    Where do I enable the tiki comments? I have assigned the permissions of tiki_p_post_comments and tiki_p_read_comments to the registered user group. However, the registered users still can't see the links to add comments at the bottom of wiki pages. What am I forgetting? Do have have to enable some feature related to the tiki comments?

    Thanks.

    Did you check "Comments" on the Administration:Wiki page (tiki-admin.php?page=wiki)?

    Hi Gary,

    I did not see a checkbox called "Comments" on this page. All I see is "Default number of comments per page" which I have set to 10, and "Comments default ordering" which I have set to "Newest first". I only see these two options under "Wiki Comments Settings".

    Look to the right of the Wiki Comments Settings, to Wiki Features. Item number 15 or so is "Comments". 😉

    I still don't see it Gary. Please look at this attatched image of the screen. That's all I see on the wiki-admin page.

    I don't think that screenshot file even got attached. Here's another question!😉. I'll try to figure out how to show you a screenshot.

    Alight, I converted my screenshot to .gif, which is much smaller in size. Let's see if I can attach it to this message.

    Okay, the gif file got attached. Please don't look at it in your web browser. Open it in Paint or something.

    By looking at it, could somebody please tell me where I can find the option to enable comments. I'll appreciate it.

    No wonder you can't see the Comments box — for some reason you don't have the right-hand side of the admin page. See my attachment for what the page looks like with both columns showing.

    Is this a standard Tiki theme you're using? Can you check how this page looks in other themes/styles? Maybe you should upload the tiki-admin.php, tiki-admin.tpl, tiki-admin_include_wiki.php and tiki-admin_include_wiki.tpl files again. Other than that, I don't know what would be causing this problem if your other pages are all displaying completely.

    I was using the tikineat.css theme and slidestyle.css slideshow theme. When I switched it to the tiki.css theme, the right-hand side of the admin page started showing. However, as soon as I checked the "Comments" option and clicked on the "Change preferences" button, the right-hand side disappeared again. On the positive side, I was able to get the comments to work.

    I have a similar problem on other pages as well. For example, in the user preference page, tiki-user_preferences.php, a big portion of the "Personal Information" section does not show (look at th first attached file). However, when I start highlighting the contents of the "Personal Information" section, the rest of the contents start showing up (look at the second attached file).

    Is it a flaw with tw development?

    Sorry, I didn't know how to attach two files with one post. Here's the second one.
