JComments compatibility

Hi everyone!
I will call this a bug cause I'm not sure what else I could call it.

Joomla 1.5.20
FLEXIcontent version 1.5.3c stable (r354)
JComments 2.2.0.2 [12/09/2010]

I was wondering if anyone else encoutered a similar problem to mine. The comments are present in all the articles on every category even thow i haven't marked any category from the list in the Jcomments component settings. Is this a known issue, is it possible that this has something to do with Flexicontent? Any ideas?

The discussion at Jcomments is at www.joomlatune.com/forum/index.p ... 910.0.html

hi, soyjok.
this issue is well known for both autors (flexi & jcomments). I asked _smart (jcomments author) about this two-three monts ago. He try to communicate Emmanuel but the problem is what he still busy.
I will try ask _smart agane, may be he make some hack for flexi.

OK,
thank you very much
lucky!

it seems what i figured out the source of problem.
flexi attach comments via strings of TEMPLATE.
$this->params->get('comments') - its parameter of material. the problem is condition from category settings is absent.

i am not a programmer, so i made very simple template hack.
open components\com_flexicontent\templates\[name]\item.php
search
<!-- BOF comments -->
string and make some changes after:

thanks effrit

Hello,
I am no programmer and I'm afraid to touch much code.
I tried but did not fix the problem. Maybe not paste the code in the right place.

soyjok - its template, NOT core )
so it may or even must be touched

there are two template in standart distrib of flexi:
default and blog
so try fix item.php in both of them.

be careful

array(1,3,5) - its ID number of real categories with you WANT anable comments

so try make array(999) - if you made it right the comments must disappear (cose you have not category with id 999)

Thanks effrit, it seems that in the end I pasted the correct code and it works.

Another possibility is to turn off the "comments" on each type created within flexicontent from the back-end.
I'm trying that method is more functional, in principle I'd rather skip code, but the buttons to edit each article JComments unusable.
Well, hopefully get a global solution.

Sorry for my English

This works great (thanks effrit), but does anybody know the code to just have it check the category parameters instead? That would make for an easier long-term solution.
