I have disabled the k2 comment module, but when i have a menu link linked to a k2 item, it then shows the comment thing and i cant seem to turn it off.
Anyone run into this?

When your in the K2 dashboard, click on "Parameters" and look for "Comments" toward the bottom, then select "disable"

What if I want to have comments enabled on some K2 articles but disabled on others. Is that possible?

dont do it globally
do it for the item view of either the specific item or the category that the item inherits from

Thank you William. I appreciate you for it. I should have figured that one out.

Hello! I can post comments in only 1 category but not in the 3 others? the parameters in each category are the same!?!? Any ideas? thanks, CK

Try editing the category you dont want comment in
under Item View Options - go to the bottom and hide comments

hi william, thank you - but i want to turn on comments in all my categories and i works only in one of them.
i have the same parameters in every category under Item view options!? thats my problem...

I think in that case turn on comments in all categories, then as you first asked, if you dont want comments on a particular item, turn it off at the item level.

hi william,

sorry maybe i am just to stupid to set this up right... would you be so kind to help me with this problem on my live site?
the frontend is: www.flowriders.at , password a.s.o as pm if you like to... best regards CK

Try turning on comments globally,
use the sub categories item view to turn it off for a certian category.
I assume you are talking about the Tour, Biker, and video blog items, and they may all be sub categories of Berichte

hi william! i found my mistake... under usergroups -> registered was only for the category "Biker-blog" allowed to write comments... thank you very much for your help in this case!

my next problems with k2:
1) SIG: 1 image works, imagegallery does not work
2) Style at "Video-Blog" - video is under vote, shareing and so on...

best regards
Christian

There are lots of threads about SIG. The most relevant information is you need to use SIG Pro, which doesnt cost that much for things to work correctly as far as i have read. There is also sometimes an upload file limit with servers that you have to deal with. Best solution for that is to correctly size the pictures for the internet before adding them to your zip file to create the gallery in K2. (smaller is usually more better, more faster)

Hi Guys,

Just elaborate, there has been some confirmation that server setups to can also be a factor in both SIG free and Pro as well as AllVideos not uploading.

@Christian. It is possible to modify the item.php file and move both the Gallery and Video blocks.
I always move them between the fulltext and created date blocks, as for me, they are part of the posting, so no need to have them right at the bottom of the page.

Let me know if you need further information, I might even turn that into a tutorial on K2Joom.com
