I cannot write comment

[tomdedecker]

I installed JComments and set it to allow comments for specific catagorie, when I go to front, and try to add comment, the page jumps to frontpage...

In other words, I cannot leave any comment...

Howcome?

The url where I use it is: http://www.lucsteeno.be/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=1&Itemid=10

I don't know why it happens but I can't view the page source - you've some script which prevents context menu calling. So I can't check the links attributes. At first look it could be template issue but I'm not sure. I can suggest you to try with some other template, also you could try to disable 3rd party plugins and scripts...

Before release of any version of JComments I put it into long testing with various site's configurations and install it to about 40 production sites of my regular testers. And only if it works fine for all testers I release it to public. So every public release is as stable as possible. But it could have some with some custom templates or 3rd party extensions (we can't test with all existing templates and scripts). So in each case we need to have detailed information...

Hi, thanks for advice, I removed frontenduseraccess plugings and it seemed that similar app: discussions was also still in there, now JComments works fine!

Thanks

I have exactly the same issue. Jcomment suddenly stopped working after 2 years without any problem.
Any try to add a comment leads to the frontpage  

for example http://www.france3d.org/20100611271/Dernieres-news/Retour-aux-sources-pour-Second-Life#comment-532

The only thing I changed recently is adding a google adsense plugin. But even if I unpublish it, the problem remains...

under IE, I have an "undefined Jcomments" error message

but in my page, Jcomments scripts are here :

Code:

<link href="http://www.france3d.org/components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://www.france3d.org/components/com_jcomments/js/jcomments-v2.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.france3d.org/components/com_jcomments/libraries/joomlatune/ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

what's wrong with my plugin ?

You have a lot of 403 errors (forbidden) at your website. (including all Jcomments files)
Write permissions of some folders ? Some wrong urls ?

You have done something at your site to cause this. You, or some installed plugin.

If you use this url
http://www.france3d.org/components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/style.css

directly in browser you get:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/style.css on this server.

Check your write permissions.
You have problem with other plugins, not only Jcomments.

thank you, found it
there was a hta access file in the component directory, allowing only 1 ip
I have no idea how this appeared, but it solved my issue

thank youuuu

@france3d: you are using outdated version of JComments (I saw this by used JavaScript files). So I suggest you to update your JComments to 2.2.0.0

thanks but I think I will first try to update to joomla 1.5 because this hacker came again (he is dropping files in the components directory and disallowing public access !)

Put your configuration.php file allways at 444. No write, no execute.
