A Few Problems

nikkie 18 Dec, 2008
It's not critical, but the parameters say that the default behavior for Collapse Form is to show the link. This is not so.

It would be nice not to have to monitor the "Verified" flag in the backend during the approval process if you've chosen not to configure the system for e-mail verification.

A little more severe is that after submitting a comment the Captcha code stays the same. Submitting another comment then fails with an invalid Captcha code.

Most annoying is that the comments aren't viewable except by those that are allowed to comment. Surely this can't be correct. What better way is there to entice comments and user registration? Besides, it's wholly inconsistent with the module, which can display comments to the public yet the links fail because you can't set the parameters of the comment display accordingly.

Thanks for looking at it!

I spent quite a while looking at the code trying to determine where I could change the behavior so that guests could view the comments but not post. I just couldn't find it. And the reason for that is because it's not in the code. As with the Collapse Form setting, the parameters have another problem. This one is a contextual language problem.

The Posting Group is misleading and so is the Posting Permission section heading. For instance, when you address the Posting Group with the intention of excluding guests from posting you'd naturally de-select the Public Front-end. However, what this actually does is de-select the display for the Public Front-end. The term "posting" is contextually incorrect. This is further borne out by the fact that the Public Front-end is actually and only de-selected from posting via the Guest can post switch. This is an easy thing to miss when you're setting the parameters. The Posting Group would then be clearer if it were something like Display Group or Access Group and the section would be clearer if it were something like Frontend Access.
