Ako Comment Issue

[Deaddog]

My ako comment is not allowing unregistered users to comment eventhough the settings are set to allow them. Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be? :confused:

The plot thickens: :( The comment component works except on the front page on my site. Why?Linstreasurebox (http://www.linstreasurebox.com)

Dear Mamber,

You started this thread in the Mambo 5.0 forum. This version is not out yet and the forum is only used to discuss this upcoming version. Your problem is not particularly about this upcomming version of Mambo but about something regarding the current version. Therefore this should be posted in another forum. This way other mambers can respond faster to your questions/remarks.
I moved it for you, please post in the appropriate forum next time, you will get faster and better answers there!

Regards,

Regenerate

Hi,

I've got the same problem too, have you figured it out yet? The bizarre thing is I think it was working fine until I patched up to the latest version. I havent had the time to figure out which script it is yet but I guess we are not the only ones having this problem.

I also found that the typed content component didnt work after the patch.

Can you describe the problem further? I once had problems with AkoComment on the front page. I had an out of the box mambo site going, and installed akocomment 2.0. There was a latest news section as well on the front page which was also displaying a comment form (the latest news one was hidden). The fact that there were two of these forms on the page caused the javascript to break because there were two forms with the same name.

Hope this helps,
Ian

If you want to see what its doing have a look here at www.snow-uk.co.uk. My site is still currently doing it. I recon that the problem relates to the recent mabo upgrade as ako comment was running fine before this.

After a little more investigation I have noticed that the links on my from pager are missing some info, the &Itemid=2 is not being passed over in the link from the Ako comment links. Further investigation of the mambot will probably help me figure this out

Did a little further investigation and I fixed mine by adding the following

&Itemid=$Itemid

onto line 270 of the akocomment bot, if you use the javascript pop up you will need to add it to there too. You will then need to go and make a new news article for your frontpage, somehow this refreshes all the other links too. Then it should work

so instead of
<a class=\"readon\" href='".sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=$row->id")."'>

you should have

<a class=\"readon\" href='".sefRelToAbs("index.php?option=com_content&task=view&Itemid=$Itemid&id=$row->id")."'>

now onto my SEF problem, aaaggghhh. If any one has any problems or other questions just ask.

My issue is not exactly related, but it has to do with AkoComment 2.0 as well. Does anyone have an issue where "SEND" button simply doesnt work? Thanks

I was having the same problem. The comment link at the end of a full page category article would redirect a ‘guest’ to an ‘unauthorized’ user page. The workaround I discovered was quite simple.

Make sure you break your articles up between the ‘intro’ text and ‘main’ text. This forces the user to navigate through the ‘read more’ link to a second page where the comment box should already be presented at the end of the article.
