[wish] I want my comments to be visible only for logged in

[eMCe71]

Hello,

I have been searching this forum but haven't found solution.

Is there a way or you could write such a feature that comments would be visible only for logged in people?
I have educational, medical site and I can't allow not logged/not verified people to read comments to articles.

Thanks a lot!

You can change Content - JComments plugin's access level to Registered.

Thanks, but it's not what I wanted.

Solution which you described makes that unlogged people don't even see that there could be comments on website.

The best what I can imagine is that unlogged people see "Add comment (number of comments)" under the article and when they click on it they have article with information "You have to log in to see and write comments".

Is there a chance that you could provide such an opportunity?

I will be very thankfull

In this case you could hide comments using comments template.

1. Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_tree.php (or tpl_list.php if you're using plain list layout)
2. Find line:

Code: (php)

$comments = $this->getVar('comments-items');

replace with

Code: (php)

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
if (!$user->id)  {
    $comments = null;
} else {
    $comments = $this->getVar('comments-items');
}

This code will hide comments list if current user isn't authorized.

I have just replaced it as you mentioned and unlogged people still can read comments. Look here: http://przypadkimedyczne.pl/z-pediatrii/3336-bezradni-lekarze.html
