K2 Comment form not visible to REGISTERED users was created by Bojan Jovanovic

Hello,

I cannot submit a comment on K2 item as registered user - submission form is not visible to registered users. When I select "Enabled for registered users only" at Global setting for comments, form won't appear on the K2 items.

I have inspected a page with firebug and I found out that Comment form is empty:

<div class="itemComments">  </div>

When I put "enabled for everyone", comment form is shown at K2 item page, code looks fine:

<div class="itemComments">

	  	  <!-- Item comments form -->
	  <div class="itemCommentsForm">
	  	
form class="form-validate" id="comment-form" method="post" action="/index.php">
	.......

</form>
	  </div>
	  
	    
  </div>

I have updated K2 tot he latest release K2 v2.6.9 and running Joomla 3.3.6

Any help will be appreciated!

Hi. Do you have any template overrides? Also ensure that the registered user is assigned to a K2 group with the permission to post comments.

@Drazen

When you set K2 comments for registered users then you need to ensure that this K2 user is assigned to a K2 user group with the permission to post comments.

No, you misunderstand me. Post comments was already checked. Problem is not solved. Registered users still can't post comments.

Are Joomla!'s registered users also in that K2 user group?

You had accidentally not assigned any categories to these users.
Check the settings in the user group now.

Check the lower section of the user group's settings.
You didn't have any categories assigned to these users. That means that they did not have the correct permissions on these categories.

Hi Krikor,
After a log time... hope you are doing well.

I found that if GENDER of the k2 user is not selected the comment form won't show for registered users. It should be either male or female. Created users in joomla back-end. That does not assign gender to k2 user. Comment form didn't show for registered users. Had to assign gender in order to achieve this. Registration through default Joomla Registration Form does not give the gender selection option either. How to solve this problem?

Hello Tarun, all is fine :) you?

Remind me, which version of K2 are you using? Also are there any overrides in your site? Any 3rd party extensions?

Doing well. Thank you :)

I am using Joomla 343 and K2 269. Only one extension "Additional Categories for K2". This enables a K2 item to appear in more than one K2 category. I am using MAGAZINE template from GavickPro so I had no idea if they were using overrides. In order to check I renamed com_k2 directory in template/my_template/html/ and created a new user in joomla backend. The problem persists and comment form does not appear. So I had to go to K2 users page in the backend and manually assign a gender to the user I created ...and everything works fine. Since it's a FREE (but somewhat famous) template from GavickPro and they denied any support for free templates you seem to be the only SAVIOR. :)
