Disabling Comments on Cross-posted Entries

[madelienegrey]

Hi all,

I'm interested in disabling comments on select posts that I cross-post to another site. I know that on the Crossposting page, there is an option to disable comments on posts made to other sites (seems to be all by default), although there are the two separate footer options one can add to entries for use as a main custom footer or as a custom footer for use when comments are disabled....

So, uhm, is there a way, when cross-posting a certain entry, that I can set the comments to be disabled on the external site for that post only? I'm not wanting to disable all comments on those cross-posted entries (ideally, I'd love it if I could set the comments to be disabled by security level (i.e., all Access/Friends Only Entries have disabled comments which redirect to here).

No, sorry. You can pop over to the settings page, change your settings, post, then change your settings back, but that's about it. And even then you'd need to remember to go back and do the same changes if you needed to edit the post.

Or post with comments disabled first, and then uncheck the crosspost box when editing? Though that would get the wrong footer.

I'm thinking this would benefit from kicking around in dw_suggestions (though I can't offer to post it myself at the moment; I've already got too many in the queue).

Thanks, I'll do that. :)
