update........................
i added an extra 2 } and now im getting error.
unexpected else public_html/templates_c/c_7c6a85f87188d2b8f1fc8932ce9ab48b.php on line 46

update / fix

ok i undestand now. My downfall was that i did not remove all the code on step 1.

i didnt replace all of the code

{if $user_authenticated neq ""}
		{include file=$the_template."/comment_form.tpl"}
	{else}
		<br/>
		<div align="center" style="clear:both;margin-left:auto;font-weight:bold;margin-right:auto;border-color:#ccc; border-style:solid; border-width:1px;width:400px;text-align:center; padding-bottom: 8px;">
			<a href="{$login_url}">{#PLIGG_Visual_Story_LoginToComment#}</a> {#PLIGG_Visual_Story_Register#} <a href="{$register_url}">{#PLIGG_Visual_Story_RegisterHere#}</a>.
		</div>
	{/if}

with

{include file=$the_template."/comment_form.tpl"}

i was just a bit unclear about step 1..... i only removed PART of the code (top part) but got there in the end. thanks for this hack and i hope my mistakes here will help other noobs avoid the same

error unexpected - $end in story.php line 216

I made all the change and I have the same error.... An other solution maybe ?

parterburn,

which release are these instructions for? i'm trying it with 9.8 and am having no luck. after adding two close-brackets to debug, non-logged-in users still get the "Log in to comment or register here" box, with no comment entry box.

thanks....

a-ha. here are a few instructions to add to parterburn's method to make it work:

-two close-brackets ( } ) need to be added to the end of the new code in story.php.

-story_center.tpl is actually in the templates directory, not template

-if you're using pligg 9.8, there are two story_center.tpl files. One is in templates/mobile, the other in templates/yget. You must edit the one in the yget directory to make this work (I presume the one in the mobile directory is only for phone-based templates)

easy solution:

1) create anonymous user

on template write: use anonymous and anonymous
