Hide comment writers names from the others with access to document?

Hi @bogdog400

Currently we do not support permissions system at all, however this is something that we're working at now. We didn't yet thought about comment visibility - rather permissions just for writing. Your suggeastion seems to be valid case though so we'll take a look at possibilities. I'll notify here in case we'll make a release containing functionality you asked for.

As for comment anonymization - this is also currently unsupported. We didin't had plans for such functionality yet.
Please let me understand your needs better. Would you like to have ability to anonymize comment author in CKEditor's sidebar only, having the information of author saved in database anyway?

One more thing to clarify - do you use Realtime or Non-realtime Collaboration module?

Thanks very much for the response.

1) Yes, anonymizing in the CKEditor side bar is fine for our needs. We would probably want the main account information in Drupal to be non-anoymous.

2) We would also be fine with non-realtime although, I guess, realtime wouldn't be a problem for our use case.

I'm happy to test any development versions if that can help.

Hi --

@salmonek -- Have the features or access to permissions changed since we last corresponded? Have you added any new features to allow configuration? Or maybe is it available at a lower level, perhaps through adding code to a custom module?

Again, our needs are:

We want one owner for each document/article.
We want n anonymous readers who can't see each other's comments.
We want the owner to see all of the comments though.

TIA

Hi

The permissions system for Non-realtime collaboration was added in version 1.1.0
Here I'm attaching a patch that will enable anonymous comments in non-rtc mode.
For realtime collaboration, we're still working on permissions system, and I'm not sure if we'll have possibility for anonymous comments there.

Thanks very much for your hard work.

And btw, I don't need truly anonymous comments. They can be people logged into the system with a user name and password. But I want the commenters' names to be hidden from the main author and vice versa.

Closing as the patch was designed for very specific use case and we do not plan to add such functionality to the module officially at the moment.
