1. How do I COMPLETELY disable the Comments section of my Stories section (labeled News and Journal)?

I would like users to not be able to comment at all. Perhaps I could do this by setting Comments to admins only? But how? I would appreciate some assistance with Permissions (see question 3).

2. How do I prevent people from seeing how many Reads a story has?

3. Explain permissions for me? What the hell does the stuff inside the Module mean? For example, how could I set Comments for Admins only (read, write, etc) so that visitors don't even see them?

I've struggled with making the Comments a lighter font color, so if you know how to do that, then I love you forever. If not, I got my own BB now so that may suffice. Regardless, comments piss me off. Even more so because I couldn't figure out Smarty from EZComments. *mumbles to himself*

THANK YOU FOR READING. Honestly, you guys have been a big help.

as far as i know, there is no permission to restrict the comments section of PostNuke.

so instead, why not try to deactivate comments in administration > modules, and see if that works

how many reads a story has will be part of your theme, as a variable. If you looked in your theme.php file for this variable, you could probably delete it to remove the reads of a story.


those are my suggestions...

This also knocks out access to other things though, doesn't it.
Add Story, for example.

you could grant back all the modules you want your users to access with the relevant permissions above that

Thanks Hammerhead.
I guess this is another area that will be revamped with .8.
