So I have some K2 categories in which I allow submissions from registered users and other K2 categories in which I do NOT allow submissions from users.

But ALL K2 categories include a link that says, 'Add a new item in this category'. I cannot figure out how to hide this link in the categories that do not allow submissions.

Can anyone please advise? Or is this a K2 bug?

Just remove this in your file item.php:


addLink; ?>">

< span class="catItemAddLink" >
< a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:650}}" href="< ?php echo $this->addLink; ? >" >
< ?php echo JText::_('Add a new item in this category'); ? >
< /a >
< /span >

I have the same problem - kind of urgent that I solve this - any info anyone? I want it to appear for categories they have permission to edit, but not the ones they don't...

Has anybody found a way to make this work right? This is killing me...
