TOPIC: How to turn off editing of posted coments by users

Hello,

Is it possibile somehow to turn off editing of posted items by registered users?

On my site we have admin that approves comments.

But when registered user post comment, and we approve it. So far so good, but later this user can completely change comment with out any approval or notification.

Pleas can anybody help?

No there is no such an option. What I want to implement in 4.1 is the option to autotically disable editing of post after certain period of time(1 hours, 1 day or something like that)

Another possible thing is - no edit after comment was approved by administrator.

But is there any way to go around this problem, at this moment. Since we have lot of comments that are malicious.
For example just to hide it?

Well a way around is to delete the edit button for all users and make it possible only to change comments through the backend.

Can you give me some short guidance, because my knowledge is small about Joomla, I am newbie So I can try to to that.
Thank`s a lot

In backend under layout make a copy of the template. Then in the html code search for {editbuttons} and delete them. that was everything

I was searching for {editbuttons} in all files(*.php, *.html) but coul'd not find In which exactly should I look? Pls help. Tnx

search in the template file index.php

or just through the backend of jocomment use the funciton to modify a template and then search for the given string.

I have found it.. first I was searching in template of Joomla.. then I found out that I have to look in components, then in com_comment and then there is templates and inside few ot them in separate folders then there are index.html files which contains that line with {editbuttons}
I have deleted line and it was successful. Tnx!

cheers!
