Hi;

Just trying to configure Quip here & have a couple of questions...

1. Can I specify a default gravatar somehow? i.e. I want my clients logo to appear whenever a user shows up without a gravatar avatar & not the email hash avatar...

2. how in the heck do I open/close threads for commenting??? I see the auto closing settings in the templates/snippets/chunks etc. But can this be done from admin???

-thanks

For the second question, this one way to do it:

* create a TV (as you did with tags if you are following this tutorial: http://rtfm.modx.com//display/revolution20/Creating+a+Blog+in+MODx+Revolution)
* Lets call this TV "status"
* Give it default value 0

* Modify your BlogPost template to be like this:

[[!QuipReply?
         &thread=`blogPost[[*id]]`
         ...
         &closed=`[[*status]]`
]]

When ever you want to close a thread, login to the Manager, and edit the thread document: change the status TV value to 1, save and you are done..

thanks for the info - I got everything in there exactly. but it does not work... could I be mising something?

- the TV was added and appears for the blog post articles in admin
- the blog post template was modified and now reads:

[[!QuipReply?
&thread=`blogPost[[*id]]`
&recaptcha=`0`
&closed=`[[*status]]`

]]

The only deviation I made was the TV type is a select box with values of "Enabled==1||Disabled==0" - but it did not work as a text box either.

hmmmm?

At least from Syntax point of view it is correct.. I see no error.
I used "text" as type, but you said you have tried text also..

FWIW, here is my blogpost template:

[[$header]]
<div class="post">
  <h2>[[*longtitle]]</h2>
[[*tags:notempty=`<div class="ditto_tags">Tags: [[!tolinks? &items=`[[*tags]]` &key=`tag` &target=`2`]]</div><br /><br />`]]

  [[*introtext:notempty=`<p>[[*introtext]]</p><hr />`]]

  [[*content]]


  <hr />
[[!Quip?
    &thread=`blogPost[[*id]]`
    &threaded=`0`
]]
<br /><br />
[[!QuipReply?
   &thread=`blogPost[[*id]]`
   &recaptcha=`0`
   &closed=`[[*status]]`
]]
</div>
[[$footer]]

If you like to try my settings I can send to a login details for 24 hours..

I forget to add that 0 == open, anything else means closed..
Also I would like to add, This was test on VPS, MODx Revolution 2.0.7-pl (traditional), Nginx, and Quip 1.2.4 pl..

strange; I can’t get the commenting to show up even if I;

[[!QuipReply?
   &thread=`blogPost[[*id]]` &recaptcha=`0` &closed=`1` &closeAfter=`90`   
]]

yea- I’m beginning to see that the docs say "If set to 0, the thread will not accept new comments." but I have the status TV just output to the page and it shows "1" with commenting disabled, I toggle it back to "0" and I can comment again....

so the documentation is off then?? [it’s working now, just not as documented]
[I’m using revo too]

-thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
