Hello,

Is it possible to activate comments per item? I tried do that via the menu, but it seems that the standard implementation doesn't work like this. When I set the general one on disabled, and enable the comments per item, it doesn't display.

Maybe this is something regarding the template code? Is this possible without hacking k2 core?

EDIT: Or do I need to activate the comments in the website, and per category configure when the comments can display? And then per item configure if you want to display it or not?

I would set comments on for either registared or all in the k2 options first
Next enable comments for the category
and then try enable and or disable comments at the item level to see what results you get.
There is inheritance going on, i just cannot remember exactly which ones , testing should tell
Also, be sure to turn off comments at the category level if you do not want comments on other categories to show

Ok, thank you. I will test and see what works. I hope the template code is sufficient!

OK I thoroughly tested the comments but it's not working as I'd like.

When I enable the comments in the global, it always displays the comment form, regardless if I hide the comments via the category or the item itself.

When I disable the comments in global it won't display, ever.

I think the template code is just wonky. Can someone fix that so it only displays when on the item it configured to show the comments., regardless of the category setting or the global one. I want to configure this per item.

Hello Uzi,

if you use the default template, is the form working as expected?
Most likely the template's overrides lack some essential if/ else statements.

I got it working with the default K2 code.

This is how I did it, for future reference when people have the same problem.

Activate comments for everyone in the config.
Per category hide the comments default.
Now you can set the comments to show per item.

The last problem I encounter though is the problem that name and emailaddress are unique, probably due to the fact that it tries to make a account for that commentor?

Can I remove this option? So that people with the same name or email can comment, mainly because I don't actually want people to make an account, that is unnecessary for me. Is that possible?

The name and email address are not 'unique'.
If a user has registered in your site, another user cannot use his name nor his email.
That would create a real credibility issue. Imagine another person here commenting as "Krikor Boghossian" or a person impersonating you at your website.
Finally if that email is not in use, then users can comment freely.
