I have not done any changes (yet) to the comment.php file, but I have asked about how to remove the Properties and Tags section from the Composer for registered users. Only solution was to code this/remove code from core files. I got help on finding the specific file needed to edit for this (thanks!).
Ahhh, now I remember, I have turned off commenting for Registered users in ACL:
"Change Comment Settings When Composing Blog Post" = No
I thaught that when I did this Registered would not be able to change the default (which is set to Enabled in EasyBlog > Settings > Comments. But must be an error here with the setting, since it also turns off commenting (I just dont want my users to change the default which is set to Enabled).
So I am stuck here...
Maybe if I enable the ACL setting for registered users, then input your code in the comment.php file? Where do I put it? (I hate editing core files, but when its the only solution for getting what I want...).
As said, I want commenting for all posts on my site, and I do not want my users to be able to turn thhis off.
This is how my comment.php file looks like:
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Unauthorized Access');
?>
<div class="eb-composer-field row">
<label
for="allowcomment"
class="eb-composer-field-label col-sm-5"
data-eb-provide="popover"
data-title="<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_COMPOSER_ALLOW_COMMENTS'); ?>"
data-content="<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_COMPOSER_ALLOW_COMMENTS_HELP'); ?>"
data-placement="left"
data-html="true">
<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_COMPOSER_ALLOW_COMMENTS'); ?>
</label>
<div class="eb-composer-field-content col-sm-7">
<?php echo $this->html('grid.boolean', 'allowcomment', $post->allowcomment); ?>
</div>
</div>
