Comment Config

Cool_Goose - March 22, 2008 - 13:25

Ok i must be an idiot because i can't find in 6.x the comment configuration page. I can only configure the way that comments look from the content types and that's annoying because i want to change the comment settings for all the content types. Does anyone have any idea where is that comment configuration page ?

PS
I miss the 4.7 admin. Darn it keeps getting harder to find what you want.

comment settings are "per content type" in D6.

Thus goto administer -> content types
edit the content type/s in question
expand the comment settings menu

done

As i said in the original post i know that they are per content type. I was trying to find the general comment config from 4.7/5.0. Thanks for letting me now that there's no general content config on 6.0. Imho it was a bad choice but c'est la vie.

read through your post too quickly I guess.

you are correct there is no "overall setting for comments" any longer.

Which I happen to think is a great idea, because it allows for different sorting and comment choices on each content type rather then being locked into the same setting for each content type. As such we won't see eye to eye on this new functionality.

Maybe i'm wrong but afaik you could set individual comment settings in drupal 5.0. If not yea it is a great addition to 6.0 but that general configuration should have remained. Something like pathauto's default if not specified :).

The only per content type settings for comments in Drupal 5.x was:

Disabled
Read only
Read/Write
