Hello!

Got an answer. Based on Alex, I should disable content_easydiscuss plugin. I just did it and the form as well as the link to EasyDiscuss has been removed.
I see the potential of the feature. However, I am not sure how to enforce a better control on it.
I noticed that for the last few weeks, the site experienced a surge in guests/users higher than usual. They tend to be looking for sites where they can fill up a forum or comments with spam... One Joomla article posted early September shows over 2000 hits and the same post on EasyDiscuss shows over 1772 views. I am ready to be famous, but I feel that such number of view is rather fishy. Any suggestions how to handle the form for registered users only? Where can I find additional info on content_easydiscuss plugin?

Lastly, and not related, I need further assistance.
- The pages of EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss seems to block the access of the main menu of the site.
- During a debug session, I got the following warning:
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/xxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_easyblog/sql
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/xxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_easyblog/xmlfiles
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/xxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_easyblog/easysocial

Thanks

Hey AB,

Basically how this content - Easydiscuss plugin work is auto create a discussion in Easydiscuss when the user create a new Joomla article on the site.

Actually it really depend on you is it needed this content plugin enable, because base on what you said you already use Komento to be your Joomla article comment system, i think you no need to include Easydiscuss reply form in Joomla article page.

Any suggestions how to handle the form for registered users only?

Komento
--------------
- Configure it from backend > Komento > integration > Joomla article > ACL > select your public/guest user group > Add comment - NO

Easydiscuss
-----------------
- Configure it from backend > Easydiscuss > ACL > select your public/guest user group > add reply - NO

You can refer on my attached screenshot below as well.

Where can I find additional info on content_easydiscuss plugin?

May i know which page you see these error? Base on these warning message system unable to delete those file because that folder is not there.

Hello Arlex,

Thanks for your reply.

A good ACL clean-up was needed on EasyDiscuss, EasyBlog, Komento. Thank you for the reminder
EasyDiscuss: Specially when new fields such as "Edit Sitewide Replies" on the Moderation tab was set to Yes. It would be preferable if new fields in new update are systematically set to block the users...

Thank you for the advanced info on content_easydiscuss plugin. It is an interesting plugin and very powerful as well. For sites using Komento, it would be good to allow authorized users to use part of the features, such as creating a discussion in a easydiscuss category of their choice depending on the subject of the article submitted.

The easyblog warnings mentionned in previous post, if I recall correctly, appeared during an update of the component.

Best,
Agnes

You're welcome.

Yes, for those ACL rules like `Moderation tab` we will set to NO by default, unless that is SuperUser user group, because Superuser should have all the permission.

Actually these warning message will not cause anything on your site, you can ignore it.

I think is the plugin - Content - EasyDiscuss and I turned it off. there is no more auto-posting of Joomla Articles to Easydiscuss

Thanks for heading up on this sg4dsiao, I will update this to our developer to disable this plugin by default in next release version.
