Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
Hi there.
Some background: running 4.0.4 on Textdrive hosting, with what I consider to be a stock install bar a theme change (diagnostics at end of post). I have 2x commenting issues which could be related, but I’m not sure.
http://www.petercooper.net/weblog/
Issue 1 —_RESOLVED_
Commenting is enabled in Admin/Preferences (set to Yes), but new articles default to no comments when they’re written and published. I am able to enable comments manually both before I publish and after I publish. The comment invite is displayed inline when the page is viewed, but comments cannot be left by anyone…aka issue 2:
Issue 2
Comments invites are displayed on the above page, and clicking it provides the required fields. Previewing is possible, clicking Submit dumps the user back to the site root (which has a redirector to take them to /weblog).
Notes
I’m using a theme from Textgarden that I haven’t got to know in detail, yet. It is my intention to replace it with another theme that I’ve built myself at some stage when I have the time and inclination, but that’s not going to happen overnight :)
I’m more keen on resolving the first issue as it’s more inherent to TXP rather than a theme or bodge on my part. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Pete

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
- Look at your comments preferences.
- Compare your comment forms to the defaults. There may be tags missing or in the wrong places.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
Hi Mary -thanks for your response. I’ve been doing some research and I’m coming across some interesting stuff. I ended up doing a fresh install to make sure I wasn’t being moronic and missing something obvious.
This is what I have in my 4.0.4 admin panel under Comments:
http://petercooper.net/images/txpcomments.png
Presumably I should have something more akin to this:
http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/images/Admin-prefs-siteprefs-comments.gif
Commenting is now working with the default install, though it was bitching about my IP being blacklisted by sbl.spamhaus.org, even though when I went there it says I wasn’t – I ended up disabling spam checking for it to work. I’ll do some more testing to see if other folks can post comments.
Thanks again for the tips.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
See this FAQ entry about the blacklisting issue (summarized: add a dot behind sbl.spamhaus.org)
The screenshot from TextBook that you mention, is not taken in the ‘advanced’ preferences (as your screenshot is), but on the ‘basic’ preferences tab instead. Those options appear if you set ‘Accept comments’ to ‘yes’ in the ‘basic preferences’ tab.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
Hi ruud- thanks for the sbl tip, that’s fixed now :)
I can also confirm that I have set ‘Accept comments’ to yes, as it was by default, and the additional options are still not visible. Could it be a permissions issue? This is where the original problem started – ‘Accept comments’ is set to yes, yet when I start to write a new article comments are disabled.
Video grab of the interface (it’s grainy, thanks to the magic of google, but you get the idea):

Thanks again for your help.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
On the first part of the admin preferences (when you click the preferences tab), below “production status”, there should be a list of comment options. It’s outside the range of view in your video grab.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
You appear to be affected by a known bug (it will be gone in the next release). Here’s the fix.
Preferences > Basic > Comments > On by default?
You want that set to “Yes”.

Re: Comments weirdness, x2 (fixed)
Perfect – thanks, Mary! Problem solved.
