Hi,
thanks for the upgrade on the Kunena Discuss plugin, just installed it.
Was really looking forward to the possibility of giving the guest / public a login button.

But I think I am missing something...
in the plugin option I enable 'Show login button for public users' [yes]
now when I visit an article I correctly see the login button as part of the discuss plugin

When I press the [login to comment] button I am redirected to the joomla login screen
I login but I am not returned to the article / discuss plugin. instead I stay on the login page which now shows the logout button....

I have set in the login module redirection after login to [default]

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, just to follow up my own messages and for everybody running into the same annoying issue where users 'forget' to login and place a reaction to a blog as a guest user.

Although the login button looks like a good addon to the form, it doesn't work: 1. using it requires a loginname / password (which almost nobody has / remembers because they currently login via social media buttons. 2. login in redirects away from the page where you want to add the reaction :(

So what I did is the following:
Under the field where the guest can enter his/her name I put a conditional warning stating the fact that you are not logged in and that their reaction will be placed as a guest. If the user is logged in this message doesn't show.

So far good feedback from my users :)

So in ./plugins/content/kunenadiscuss/tmpl/form.php

after the following code:
Code:
<tr> <td><span class="kdiscuss-quick-post-label"><?php echo JText::_('PLG_KUNENADISCUSS_NAME') ?></span></t$ <td><input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $this->name ?>" <?php if ($this->user->exists()) $ </tr>

add
Code:
<?php if(!$this->user->exists()) : ?> <td></td><td><span class=kdiscuss-quick-post-label> <?php echo "You are not logged in: your reaction will be published as guest" ?></span></td> </tr> <?php endif; ?>

this code can be 'beautified' with languagestrings, but this will work as wel.

hope this helps.
