Disable comments altogether
Posted in xn--kfs74mzzid01b.com edit by wktd on January 7th, 2009
I want to disable comments for all users' blogs. Ideally, I want it so that users can't comment on other people's blogs...
Also, if I disable this for default user registration, does it mean I have to run a SQL query to disable it for existing users?
Confused...
Can Post Comments to Others' Blog - No
Setting these two usergroup permissions to NO will disabled the ability to leave comments for everyone. If this isn't working for you than I expect your user are members of other usergroups that still allow commenting.
vbulletin blog options -> default registration options -> default entry
allow comments & moderate comments - OFF
vbulletin blog options -> default registration options -> permissions & privacy
leave comments (for ignore, buddy & everyone) - OFF
Then for registered users group permissions -> blog general permissions
Can Manage Comments within Own Blog - no
registered users group permissions -> blog comment permissions
Can Post Comments to Own Blog - No
Can Post Comments to Others' Blog - No
Can Edit Own Comments - No
Can Delete Own Comments - No
Follow Blog Comment Moderation Setting - yes

As for what I'm trying to do, is that when you pull up a blog entry (new or existing) I don't want the comment field/ability to leave a comment to be visible. The options are certainly unticked though.
Which makes me think I have to edit the template huh?
In the end I decided to enable them due to the demand for it ;-)
Can Post New Blog Entries -> No
I've done some more poking around... and there is just no way to turn off the comments globally. Can someone please confirm?
