yikes - Folio is bugging out ! Please help (sidebar/commentbox) - remove Login from Sidebar?

okay, so i've set the chatbox in config.php for folio to 'N' but it still shows up on every wiki page AND any public unregistered site visitor can stuff something into the box for the world to see! (add to that: and the admin account can not delete the comments!)

also, out of nowhere (the same time that chatbox appeared even though it was set to 'N'), the LogIn box began to appear two times in the sidebar (on top of itself, like a repeat)

any advice? thoughts? ..and how does one remove the LogIn box from the sidebar! i can not find the sidebar code that is referenced in the pageshell anywhere...

Keywords: foio, sidebar, wiki

is this nathan's separate chatbox plugin?. . i also installed that a while back and wasn't sure that it worked completely with v.7.x.

yes, it's nathan's plugin - the wiki part works perfectly, zero glitches, but teh chatbox appears to stay on even when set to off in the config.php that's included...i'm not sure how to remove chatbox (which files) and am concerned that if i simply delete them it will show an error in the sidebar trying to call the file...

sorry, it's the commentbox, not chatbox - though there's no way to remove it or restrict to loggedin users only...i pinged nathan and he let me know that there's an update coming out shortly that will allow for deletion of commentbox comments on wiki pages...not sure about restrictions on that though, OR the strange sidebar error where login box appears twice when logged out!

My earlier email to Dave :-)

"The chatbox is actually something different from the ‘comment box’ – the former is synchronous discussion, the latter attaches comments to a page. I’m going to have comment deletion in the next version of the folio plug-in, which should be out in a couple of days.
"I’m not sure why the log-in box shows twice, I’ll look into that as well.

hey, thanks! (didn't want to cut and paste what you wrote without your permission...)

Thanks, it's rare (& appreciated) when people are polite enough to keep an email message off of the public net....

you bet..i'm actually in an association where 'reposting an email' without permission from our listserv discussions is grounds for getting kicked out!

btw, any thoughts on the double login box thing?

My dev install only shows the log-in box 1x, but the statistics 2x. I fixed the latter, and am hoping that solves the first issue as well.
I was a bit stupid, and forgot to initialize a variable if the user wasn't already logged in. Thus, php automatically re-used the existing $body variable that had the log-in stuff. Silly, but at least it's working properly now.

is there a place where i download this most current version/fix to see if it resolves it? (sounds like todd and i are having two similar issues)
