Hi there,

Does anyone know how to remove or hide the link to "Moderate comments to my published items" displayed whilst users are logged in?

My site will only feature content from our own sources and users will simply need to be able to post comments.

The other issue I am having is that user registration will be handled completely in-house and most likely will involve some batch entry from .csv files. This seems to work OK in terms of getting users into the Joomla user manager, but when checking the K2 user groups, they're not being automatically assigned to the pre-defined default user group (it's blank and requires manual updating).

Any help, as always, much appreciated.

Did you figure that out??

Hi. Regarding your issues:

1. Hide it with CSS or make a template override to the module and remove the link.
2. You need to trigger the onAfterStoreUser along with some variables. The programmer that will build the CSV script should take a look at the /plugins/user/k2/k2.php file to see how it works.

css does not seem to be working for me. comments are completely disabled and this option still shows up for registered users.

Any ideas where in the CSS to remove just that one line and link??

Okay...so why don't you just provide us all with that little script or template override? Seems to me this is a recurring problem for a lot of sites. And who knows it better than you guys? It seems to me K2 support just leaves a lot of people in the dark when you could just as easily post some of these fix/overrides for us non-programmers. The "Moderate comments to my published items" is one piece of extremely obnoxious code. C'mon, who in their right mind thinks that floating a piece of useless text over top of content is a great idea? It is so obnoxious. I have everything to do with comments disabled but the damn thing keeps popping up when you log in.

So please provide us with a simple override script to get rid of it.

@John Barson

Have you read the relative tutorial at getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/item/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates ? We cannot provide code for anyone who is asking about something.

@ Lefteris Kavadas this issue has been plaguing k2 lovers for years now.. i dont think its fair to be so glib to say you cant provide a script for everyone who asks. we know how busy you guys are with this special piece of software and we support it fully, but this is a major issue (maybe not with programmers / developers, but defn with non-techies). :whistle:

@ John Barson its pretty easy if you know how to read code, which im assuming you don't. I can guide you through this process, but you'll have to get your hands dirty with ftp (i can show you free tools) and editing the php (i can show you free tools). If you're interested, let me know :woohoo: .

@Anton Shepherd

Do you really think that this link is major issue? I think that building a website and have no idea how to hide a link using CSS is a major issue.

John, I totally endorse your point of view. Joomla was not created by programmers for programmers, but for users.

I cannot argue with that perspective. As a web developer I abhor seeing non-developers developing websites, then asking the most basic questions in forum(s). It ruins the entire credibility of the industry.

That said, it still seems like a very strange decision from K2 to make the default state a modal box which does not even disappear on mouse click. Yes I know we can template override and so on, and modifying the html / css for it is a basic issue... and maybe making it so that the option is in the parameters is too minor an issue compared to fixing other bugs... but it still baffles me as to why its like that in the first place.

I've been able to remove it completely, and also been able to place the moderate comments link in the user menu (under My Page and My Account) so it's not an issue for me, but as some have said, Joomla + K2 seems to be targeting non-techie users, and as such have the responsibility to lower the bar as much as possible.

On the other hand, maybe I should be thanking you guys for making it necessary for the serious developers to be called in when the noobs can't get it right B)

In any case, K2 is undeniably one of those must-have components, so again I say, anyone interested in fixing the issue can contact me or any other web developer in these and other forum(s). I've uploaded an example of the moderate comments link placed neatly in the user menu.

Hi there

Would you be able to share with me how to do this? the floating 'moderate comments' box is driving me insane!

:)

Hello Rachel,

This request has been answered from Lefteris, you should read the top of the thread

Yes I read the whole thread thanks. I'm not a programmer, I'm simply a user and I don't know what css I need to override it. The request was directed to the last helpful commenter who offered to help anyone who was having trouble with this...
