Commenting: How do I disable the Sign up message that anonymous commenters see?

SuchiG

Hi,
We've set up a little site and disabled anonymous user signup--they only have View rights and Add Comment rights.

Here is the problem. When anonymous users click in the comment box, they get shown a message saying that they can sign up (see attached image). But, of course, when they click the Sign-up link, they get shown a login page and it says that the Admins haven't enabled Public Signup.

I'm not sure what is happening here. We would like to disable the message appearing in the comments box.

Hi,

I would like to mention that you can actually customize this message and remove the sign up from in the message by following the steps below.

1- Stop your Confluence.
2- Navigate to <Confluence installation dir>/Confluence/includes/
3- Find *alert-anonymous.vm* and edit it to remove the signup form and you can also provide your own message there.
4- Save the file with the changes
5- Start your Confluene.
