    Hey,

    I’m having some troubles getting the registration for leaving a comment to work. I’ve selected the option, but it’s not showing on the site. When you try to ‘submit’ a comment, it says you need to register to leave a comment, but there is no option register.

    Looking for any ideas on how to fix this. I figure it’s something small, but I can’t find it.

    Couldn’t you just provide a link to your member registration? If you’re using the built-in templates, try http://www.horseraceinsider.com/member/register.

    Thanks for the reply Ingmar,

    It works but doesn`t look the greatest. Is there an option somewhere to add a login box (u/n, p/w, register) instead of the links?

    Also, if you try to submit a comment before you login, it takes you to page with the below, where can I edit this, or redirect it to the registration page?

    “The form you submitted contained the following errors

      * You must be a registered member to post comments

    Return to Previous Page”

    Also, I have multiple weblogs that I require a login for comments. Currently if you sign in on weblog entry, and then try to leave a comment in another weblog, it requires you to login again.

    What do I have to do to have so that if you sign-in once, you don’t have to do it again?

    Does it have to do with the path? <a href=”{path='member/login'}”>

    You could, of course, modify the member template to better fit the overall look of your site. That said, do take a look at this wiki page for an alternative approach.

    Do you mean the actual text? You’d do that in the English language pack.
