How to remove "Edit" option from the comments?

[darkdog]

Hello!

I'm wondering is there any possible way to remove the "Edit comment" button? I've enabled the allow public comments ... I want that everyone could comment my pictures. It's easier for my friends who maybe are not so good understanding computers.I know you will ask "why they won't register?", yes they can do that, but sometimes even I cannot remember my pwd for some certain account, I'm sure it is much easier for them to comment without registering... there you can add your name too . But I'm worried about the edit option that is in the comments section. Some people can abuse this option and change other people comments.

I think you understood my problem. I would be very thankful if someone could help me.

Thank you.

Hi,

The simplest way would be to edit your displayimage.php, look for

Code Select Expand

$user_can_edit = (GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) || (USER_ID && USER_ID == $row['author_id'] && USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS) || (!USER_ID && USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS && ($USER['ID'] == $row['author_md5_id']));

and then change that line to read

Code Select Expand

$user_can_edit = (GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) || (USER_ID && USER_ID == $row['author_id'] && USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS);

That will remove the edit and delete permissions from anonymous users.
