Allow non-community members to comment in forums

Allow users who are not community members to comment in forums in public or moderated communities.

By editing settings in forum-config.xml. we can allow users who are not community members to comment in forums in public or moderated communities.

To allow users who are not community members to comment in forums in public or moderated communities:

1. Access the Forums configuration file:
   cd app_server_root/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
   ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython
   execfile("forumsAdmin.py")
   ForumsConfigService.checkOutConfig("/tmp", "cell_name")

   To get cell name...

   print AdminControl.getCell()

2. Edit forum-config.xml.

3. Edit the enableNonMembercontributor element in the deployment section of the file. Default is false.

   For example, to set the value to true, edit the file:

   <deployment enableCategory="false" enableLotusLive="false" enableNonMemberContributor="true"/>

4. Save the changes and close forum-config.xml.

5. Check in the configuration files during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out. For information about how to save and apply the changes, see Apply property changes in Forums.
