comment function not working properly was created by Thomas

Hi all,

from beginning i allowed only registered users to comment on items in my blog. Now i decided everyone, also not registered users, to be allowed to comment on items - so i changed settings in K2 component (version 2.6.9) accordingly.

After putting in the comment and the name on an item an pushing the send-button i receive a message that all requested fields need to be filled in! I see only two fields Message and Name which are filled in - so i do not understand where this message is coming from.

Maybe someone can help me?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Thomas,

I checked the page and found that the email address field is there but hidden by CSS in the template style files.

Just displayed it and been able to post a comment, so you can edit the css to display this field.

Edit this file: templates/theme1025/css/template.css

at line 2264, simply remove this rule

dd > input#commentEmail {
    display: none !important;
}

Thank you so much - it worked!

The email field is now shown without caption - is the caption also to be entered in the css file (like "Name*" for the name field)?

Hi Guys!

Sorry to reopen this thread once again, but there is another topic with function not showing. Once i turn on Use Recaptcha in K2 Comment Settings, it is not shown on my site, but once the user enters Text, Name and Email and confirms his entries via the send button, a message appears that entries are missing - recaptcha is not showing.

Thanks already in advance for your help!
Tom

Make sure that you have entered the correct keys in K2's configuration and you are not using Joomla!'s reCaptcha as well.

Finally make sure that your site does not have any JavaScript errors.

I'm having issues with the recaptcha piece of the commenting system not accepting entries. Does this post mean if Joomla's Captcha/Recaptcha plugin is enabled, this is the cause?

Also, this site runs PHP v 5.6 with Joomla 3.4.8

The error when trying to comment reads:
The words you typed did not match the ones displayed. Please try again.

Well, this seems a bit odd, but it worked. I reset the Captcha/Recaptcha plugin to version 1, leaving the codes as they were for version 2. Tested Comments section again and the captcha is now working.

Hope this helps someone else out there.

Hello,
I am contacting you after months of trying to manage this section by myself. I am not a computer geek, but I know the basics.
I have a new CSS template and the 3.4.8 Joomla version. I'm stuck between Category Blog in the Content and K2 Category Blog, I don't see the solution to the best blogging option. It just doesn't publish as I want it. Should I install another Joomla extension? I also want to disable category filtring, if possible?
Thank you in advance.

Natasha do not double post.
Double posting will not get your issue solved any faster, it will only lead to a suspended account.
