Question How to remove the quick reply form from the article blog layout

I just installed the Kunena Discuss Plug in 2.03 and I can say:

1. The plug in is a brilliant and indispensable way of connecting articles in Joomla to Joomla forum. It works very well and makes a Joomla/Kunena site feel homogeneous.

2. Unfortunately there is one problem with it that makes it fail hard.

The "quick discuss" option in the plugin is essential. It instantly invites a response from the reader of an article.

The problem however is if "quick discuss" is enabled then it forces its way in between every blog layout which means home as well. It really should only appear after a full article.

Turning "quick discuss" off ruins the purpose of the plugin but is the only solution at the moment.

I post this hoping that the development team can take this on board so that this potentially wonderful plugin can then be re-enabled and bring to life Joomla/Kunena sites around the globe.

Thanks for the efforts so far.

If anyone knows of a hack to turn off "quick plugin" from blog layouts while still leaving the "link" that would be helpful.

G'day, botham, welcome to Kunena and thank you for your comments.

I understand what you are saying. For those sites where people do not want a quick reply form on the same page as where their Joomla articles appear, it makes sense if there was an option to not display the form at all.

In cases like those, the "ideal" solution would be to have a third option for the plugin:

Quick Reply Location = Before Posts | After Posts | Not displayed

This option does not exist but there may be another way around the problem.

If you add the following lines to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file, you can hide the "quick reply" form: This would mean that your site members would only be able to comment on articles by using the forum component. Does that help?
