Edit the following in /htsrv/comment_post.php line 46

if( ! $commented_Item->can_comment( NULL ) )
{
	$Messages->add( T_('You cannot leave comments on this post!'), 'error' );

	// Exit asap
	header_redirect();
}

Thanks - will this prevent me from enabling comment posting elsewhere or only when disabled?

is this supposed to be a bug ?

The extra string is just an extra layer of security, it doesn't change b2evo functionality.

A flaw for sure.
The comment should be rejected anyway since we add an error message. But who knows what plugins do, they may clear errors and the comment will go through. Anyway, there's no reason to process comments if they are not allowed.

I already added that to SVN.

Alex I cannot even post a comment when logged as admin on a plain install of trunk!

@fplanque
It's not me, I only added header_redirect() which must be there anyway. Look at new Item::is_locked() method, I believe that's the actual cause of the error.

Ah ok sorry Alex. (and it's been fixed today)
