Hello Udi,

I guess you could just hide the comments area using css and let the comment to be submitted and viewed it from the back end

What is the reason for doing that this way? I mean its a product for coments and not for emails... How do you answer such stuff you get here but which isn´t seen later one?

Its like buying a plan and then complaining it didn´t fit in the garage near the office...

Hello Tela,
The reason for the question is simple:
We have registered users and non-registered.

Komento provides the login option built-in so
registered users will be identified and we'll be able to give them better service.

Udi

Hm, I really do not understand that .. sorry... Why didn´t you use the official contact part?

1.) Create a new contact
2.) add the details and add that in the menu
3.) let it show a contact form
4.) change the access to "registered" users

Then only the users who are logged in (and where registred) into your joomla site can use the contact form in Joomla. Visitors do not see the from and if they hit the URL they couldn´t use it. Same for a SPAM bot... he simply couldn´t use it.

You could do also some advanced stuff here. You could come up with a "Level2" and "Level3" ACL in Joomla and then build two different contact forms. The user who paid a higher fee got another contact form and you could send such emails directly to person who is checking such emails 24x7. The users who have only the ACL level2 assigned will not see that contact form and couldn´t use it.

You also could show a banner that the user is using level2 on the website

... everything out of the box.

Hey Udi,

Thanks for getting back to us, it sound like your current requirement should be looking for contact form component instead of Komento, because the purpose of Komento is allow user to comment on the page.

If you would like to hide those comment after user submitted, you can try apply this following CSS into your current template custom css file, so it will not show that comment listing on the page.

#kt [kt-comments-container] {

	display:none !important;

}

By the way, thanks for sharing Tela

If you would like to hide those comment after user submitted

@Udi
just a note here, google (and other search engines) might still spider the content and also any sensitive information's. The content is only hidden as make wrote, but still IN the HTML source then ;-).

@Udi,

You can download my attached file and override into your current template file location, so those comment will not appear into HTML source.

JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_komento/structure/default.php

For those new folder/files you have to manually create it by yourself.

Hello all,
Thank you very much Arlex and Tela.
I appreciate alot your sharing and assistance :-)

I came to this question because visitors and members use the Contact Us section to communicate with us.
Currently any contact request is directed to our helpdesk and managed there.
Komento provides everything for writing and a bonus !! signup / signin mechanism.
So visitors can signup while members can signin ... simple.

Arlex - Thank you for the php file.
Is it going to work globally or only on a specific page or module?

Thank you,
Udi

Komento provides everything for writing and a bonus !! signup / signin mechanism.
So visitors can signup while members can signin ... simple.

Actually you can turn off that login/sign up form from backend > Komento > settings > layout > editor > Display Login Form - NO, so those guest user unable to login/register through Komento comment form.

Is it going to work globally or only on a specific page or module?

That changes will apply to work globally.
