Disable Grades and Default Dropdown Options

Hi @junkiekode – Thanks for the comment! I’m glad the plugin is useful.

Are there any?

No, there are no admin settings. The ability to disable either the Grade or Private checkboxes is interesting. I’ve opened a ticket to track the issue: https://github.com/livinglab/wp-grade-comments/issues/12 It’s unlikely that we’d build an admin UI for this (the whole point of the plugin is to allow *grades*), but I can imagine introducing a filter that would allow a site administrator to disable the feature with a line of code.

> How about setting a default list of options to display as dropdown in the front end so commenters would not have to type?

Yes, this is an interesting idea. It’s unlikely that we’ll be building anything like this into the plugin in the near future – it’d be a very large project, and it’s not needed on the website for which the plugin was originally built – but I can imagine it perhaps being useful at some point in the future. https://github.com/livinglab/wp-grade-comments/issues/13

Thank you very much for your reply Boone Gorges.
A filter solution to disable grading would do just fine!
Hopefully it turns out soon, I appreciate you taking the time.

Glad to know my idea could be of use someday.
