Click to load a component

I'm trying to load a component programatically on the Idea Page.   The scenario is that I want to have the page load by default without the component "comment-editor". This is preferable to hiding/...

iftomkins - Did you check in the firebug if you're getting any errors in console? I am getting 404's using both renderInPlace and render.

VarunGrazitti - Yes, I'm getting those same 404 errors in the console. I've attached a screenshot. 

 

Do you have any hunches about what the issue might be? Perhaps it's a deprecated function, or one that needs to be turned on by Lithium support, like Page Initialization? DougS ?Screenshot 2015-04-06 12.13.38.png

    It doesn't look like we support rendering the "comment-editor" component (or "page level" components like it) via these javascript functions.  If this is something you would like to enforce community-wide, you can adjust this setting in the admin:

    If you check the "Users must confirm email before posting and sending private messages" checkbox and save, users will see this when they go to the idea page:

    That checkbox can only be set at the community level -- it makes it so users must verify their email before doing any kind of posting or private messaging anywhere in the community.  We don't currently have a narrorer scope than that.

      Hi DougS , thanks for your reply. Like the screenshot you posted, we want to prevent users from posting a comment by unless they take an action. However, the action we want them to take is not verifying their email address. We want them to check a box to "Accept Terms and Conditions". 

       

      Is your suggestion that we hijack the verify email address feature for our own purposes? Or do you have another suggestion for how to prevent users from seeing the Comment box, unless we can see via a custom profile field value (already implemented, working) that they have accepted the terms/conditions?

        Sorry -- I saw you posted Terms and Conditions but I mixed that up with email verification.

         

        I think the only clean way to do this as a server-side customization would be to work with professional services -- they have the ability to add some java code that runs when forms are submitted that can prevent the comment from being posted if the terms and conditions have not been accepted.
