Can't see anonymous comments!
alynn - January 21, 2007 - 19:52
I cant see any comments that are submitted by anonymous users!?
i have set my permissions correctly.
i can see the comment titles in my 'recent comments' block, but when i click to see the comment i am unable to.... whethere i am logged in or not.
is this a simple problem i am overlooking?
i am using spam module to deter spamming... but this problem has been happening since i set up the blog... not since i put on spam module.. so that is not the problem.
thanks.
what "other" contributed
what "other" contributed modules do you have installed ? are your anon comments going into moderation ?
i dont think they are going into moderation
i dont think they are going into moderation, because if i do admin>comments there is nothing in the approval queue.
also, i specifically have checked in my permissions that all users do not need approval.
other modules i hve installed are:
cck
audio
video
tagadelic
tinyMCE
googlemap
flickrhood
but this problem has been aroudn prior to most of those installs.
thanks

none of those modules should
none of those modules should have an adverse effect ?
which version of drupal are you using ? 4.7.5 ?
Am trying , but I can't duplicate your problem.
see demo.verymisunderstood.com/drupal47 for an example.
yes. 4.7.5
the issue i am having can be viewed at the blog, here:

at this link:

it should be possible to see the test comments i have anonymously posted... but they are not there.
on the contrary, here: http://breathingplanet.net/node/66#comment
this is a comment which CAN be seen that was submitted by me, an admin user.
i dont know what the problem could be.
I think i figured it
I think i figured it out
goto adminsiter -> access control and check mark access comments under the anon user role.
you've given permission to post comments (without approval) but havent given the permission for anon users to access comments ? This is the only way I can replicate your situation.
Settings that work as intended for anon user role.
access comments X
administer comments
post comments X
post comments without approval X
i wish
that that were the case... but that access has been granted since the beginning.
strange, right?
very. I seriously don't know
very. I seriously don't know what else to tell you to look at with regards to this situation.
have you tried unsetting and resetting the perms ?
are you using cache ?
anything you accidentally removed when you were designing your theme ?
have you switched themes back to blue marine to see if comments are then renderered properly ? this would point you to a themeing problem ?
tried
i just tried switching back to blue marine and still cant see any comments.
i didnt alter any tpl files for this site... so dont think thats it.
thanks for takin the time

Missing Anon Comments - Same problem here!
Drupal 4.7.6.
All permissions set (and reset).
Anon users can post comments but they don't get any confirmation message (as registered users do).
Anon comments are sent to moderation queue. They count but I can't see them.
Any -other- ideas?
My solution
I had the same issue... the anonymous user has been dropped from the users table (I don't know why).
So, my solution is to insert it back in the table, using for example phpMyAdmin with that MySQL command:
INSERT INTO 'users' (uid,name,mail) VALUES(0,'','');firefox IE issue
Hi there.
I've been having the same problem, that anonymous comments can't be seen. However, this is only happening in IE. In Firefox the comments can be seen as normal.
Also, it gets even weirder. If I'm in IE, I open my history, then close it again, I can suddenly see the comments. Now that's odd.
Are you guys having the problem in IE or in both?
just IE I think
I just tried safari...that's fine too. So I think its IE.
Are you guys using Internet Explorer?
Nope.
Firefox 2.0.0.2 over here.
