I'm having a problem disabling the comment viewing options for the forums I found a post that said to set a variable called comment_controls, which doesn't seem to exist in the drupal 4.4 database. I also saw posts saying this would be possible in drupal 4.4 (which I'm using). Is there anyway to turn the controls off for everyone but the admin?

Thanks!

in 4.4, you can disable the "Comment controls" under index.php?q=admin/system/modules/comment > "Comment controls". this is for all users, incl. admin, though.

oh jeez.... that's not obvious or anything, is it? for some reason I had it in my head it'd be in the forum module.

Thanks!

I am unable to find in the admin section where you can edit or change the comment viewing options. A simple solution I found was to utilize CSS to remove. I simply added one line to my main stylesheet.
#comment-controls{display:none;}
If you find a way via administration let me know here http://topcweb.com/contact

Comment options are on the content type edit page for each individual content type in d6.

Not sure what to do here. I was developing on my local machine and two days ago moved everything to my hosting account to work out the inevitable bugs in porting. Today I noticed that my comments and flag abuse links below content were no longer there (my 5-star ratings widget was however). The first thing I did was to go back and check my localhost version and sure enough neither link was there either! Thought I might be going crazy and just hallucinated having installed/configured these modules so went into phpAdmin and checked the comments table. Sure enough there it was with all the comments I'd put in while testing that module.

Regarding the comments module, I totally disabled it, wiped the table and reenabled/reconfigured it. Nothing. Totally removed the flag and flag abuse modules, reinstalled and nothing. Even went as far as downloading the abuse module and configuring it (I'm in production/beta right now), but even IT doesn't show up. Thought that just possibly those modules might have been having a conflict with the google adsense banner I have displaying below 5-star/comment/flag, however after removing that and repeating all the above still nothing. In don't even get the "reset flags" option as admin! I'm just about positive I have everything configured correctly, but am open to suggestions on this point also.

One other thing, in the "Location of comment submission form" setting I marked it to "Display below post or comments" and now am getting the comment submission form displaying underneath the content, but when I set it back to "Display on separate page" it correctly goes away but there's still no link to bring up the submission form!

Um... anyone?

Thank you topper910. As soon as I saw your post, I thought... "duh". This worked perfectly!

Hello,

1. You can control the display of Comment Controls in the comments content type properties page:

/admin/content/node-type/comment#comment

2. You can do it by editing your style.css file (topper910 - thanks!)

#comment-controls {
display: none;
}
