Is there a setting where I can allow ANYONE to comment on content WITHOUT needing to be logged in as a member?
The site I am working on does not have "members" but I would like to allow site visitors to comment on videos images etc...
Is there a certain quota config setting for this?

No setting in the module to allow this - sorry.
If there was, would it not just be an open invitation to spammers?

would require moderation and maybe a captha or something... maybe something like the discus coments module...tried the facebook comments plug in but for some reason with jamroom it puts all the site wide comments into 1...for example if you comment on Video A and i comment on a completely different video- both comments are shown under video A and the completely different video...
Have to find a soution to having comments without members...

Its a long time since I've played with Disqus. Might that do it?

Hi Paul
I don't think so- somehow I am going to have to find a way to make the Facebook Comments Plug In work
It's really the best solution for what i am after and generating traffic
maybe someone will make it a module that works...

There will be a setting for that in. Need to find a way to make sure facebook is taking into account the URL. Need to search their docs to figure out what that setting is.

Thanks again Michael- I have been reading the Docs and watching videos- searching Google etc...but have not found anything yet...
Will search in the morning but I keep thinking it has something to do with the whole "profile centric" thing and the videos displaying on my profile page instead of a video page...thanks will look more tomorrow

nah, it will be a setting. something like "comments are for the whole site" vs "comments are for this page only." You're wanting comments are for this page only.

Looks like the FB comments will work if I add the code to each post and alter the URL of the code so it uses the actual complete page URL

I have been adding it as a template using 
{jrCore_include template='facebook_comments.tpl"}

Got any ideas on making it work using the template code instead of adding it to each post?

I am thinking something like 
{$Jamroom_URL}{something here}....
might work? :)

Template code seams like the right way to go. Yes there should be the current URL's location in the {debug} output.

Think its probably something like {$_post.uri} at a guess. Drop debug into facebook_comment.tpl to see what it actually is.

Found the solution using some guy in Ukraine :)
Changed the Facebook Comments Plug In code to this
    <div class="fb-comments" data-href="{$jamroom_url}/{$smarty.server.REQUEST_URI}" data-width="800" data-numposts="8" data-colorscheme="light"></div>

and now its working correctly as a template
Thought I would post the solution in case someone needs it in the future
