Disable Anonymous Comments

Open templates/base/scripts/BxBaseCmtsView.php and replace lines 278 to 284 which is the following:

Old code:

return '
<div class="cmt-post-reply">
<div class="cmt-reply-head">
<a href="#" onclick="' . $this->_sJsObjName . '.toggleReply(this, \'0\'); return false;">' . _t('_Add Your Comment') . '</a>
</div>
' . $this->_getFormBox() . '
</div>';

New code(added code is green):

if ( !( $logged['member'] = member_auth( 0, false ) ) )
return '<div> <a href="'.$site['url'].'/join.php" target="_self">'. _t('_RegComments') .'</a></div>';
else

Now you notice I added a new language constant to new code: _RegComments
Login as admin and add a new language string where _RegComments = Register to comment

or whatever you think is best.

You know what the next question will be OKWeb... How do I change the order the comments appear in?

Do you want to tell him or should I? You've done so good with this so far I don't want to interfere with your run on it.

Okay that you respond to it, I don't have the solution in front of me right now rather
