Allow discussions

In Plone you can enable discussion by default on specific content types. To do this:

Go to the Zope Management Interface
Click on portal_types
Click on the content type you want to enable discussion for.
Check the "Allow Discussion?" property at the bottom of the form.

This will set the default to enable discussion for all instances of that content type in your site.

To explicitly override the current default, most content types have "Allow Discussion" options at the bottom of the edit form: set to "default", "enable," or "disable" as needed.

Users still not able to discuss things?

Check your security settings, starting at the portal root. A user needs the "Reply to item" permission to be able to actually reply to an item. You may want to turn this on for all Members, if this is not already done. You may also need to check the "Reply to item" permission at the folder level.
