When you enter or edit a News article, there is a box you can uncheck:

  Allow members to comment on this news item

I'd like to know how to do this for the quotes content box, as well.

Anyone?

Here ya go... sorry it took me so long 

Blackskull Clan Denboss asked about hiding the comments in thethumbnail gallery pictures... I couldn't find this at all. Could youtell me the type box and what you clicked on to get to this?

How to Hide Comments

You can just remove the portion of the script that hides comment links you want to keep. Add the code to your header or footer area.

The Code

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var temp;
 $("a").each(function() {
  temp = ($(this).attr("href") == null) ? " " : $(this).attr("href");

// Hide Calendar Event Comment
  if ($(this).attr("id").match("_lnkAddComment")) {
   $(this).css("display","none")
  }

// Hide Quote Comments
  if (temp.match("Comments.aspx") && temp.match("QUOTESSML")) { hideComments($(this)) }

// Hide Voting Poll Comments
  if (temp.match("Comments.aspx") && temp.match("GUILDPOLL")) { hideComments($(this)) }

// Hide Info Section Comments
 $(document).bind('reveal.facebox', function() {
  $("#facebox").find("a").each(function() {
   if ($(this).attr("target").match("_commentWindow")) { hideComments($(this)) }
  });
 });

  function hideComments (x) {
   x.css("display","none");
   x.parent().html( x.parent().html().replace("[","").replace("]","") );
  }
 });
});
</script>

Customizing

• Removing the colorized portion of the script will keep your commenting functionality for that type of box. Remove it or comment it out (using double slashes "//" at the beginning of the line)
  
  
• Calendar Events - this portion is in teal,  it only removes the "Add Comments" link.
  
  
• Quotes - this portion is in blue, it removes the "[ x Comments ]" from the Quotes box only.
  
  
• Voting - this portion is in purple, it removes the "[ x Comments ]" from the Voting Polls box only.
  
  
• Info Section - this portion is in green, it removes the "[ x Comments ]" from ALL popup boxes (facebox).

How to Open Comments in a popup window

This script changes all comment links to open a popup window instead ofa new tab/window. This includes the information box window (facebox).Add the code to your header or footer area.

The Code

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
 $("a").each(function() {
  if ($(this).attr("target").match("_commentWindow")) { makePopupWindow($(this),'_commentWindow',600,300); }
 });
 $(document).bind('reveal.facebox', function() {
  $("#facebox").find("a").each(function() {
   if ($(this).attr("target").match("_commentWindow")) { makePopupWindow($(this),'_commentWindow',600,300); }
  });
 });
 function makePopupWindow (linkEl,pName,pWidth,pHeight) {
  var temp = "toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,width=" + pWidth + ",height=" + pHeight;
  linkEl.click (function(){
   var w = window.open (linkEl.attr("href"),pName,temp);
   w.focus();
   return false;
  });
 }
});
</script>

Customizing

• There isn't a lot to change in this code.
  
  
• If you want to adjust the pop up window size, change the width and height in the code above (in red). Default width is 600 pixels and height is 300 pixels.
  
  
• The popup window is made resizable and will have scroll bars because of the code in blue above. Remove this if you want to remove the scrollbars. (0 = off, 1 = on).

Hi Avandius!

I've figured out and updated the post above on how to hide comments or make them popup in a new window. It's been tested on FF, IE and Chrome.

The only thing I wasn't able to do was to add a note inside the popup window as to what section you're commenting on.

Added to the script above... all I added was the text in blue.
