RSEvents! RSComments! integration

The users interaction in the web 2.0 era represents a key factor for your website success.
The social element becomes even more important when you own an event website and you need to allow users to interact with each other through comments.

Therefore, having a comment system for your Joomla! event based website is not something that should be overlooked.

An easy way to achieve this is to use RSEvents!, as a Joomla! event extension together with RSComments!, as a Joomla! comment extension.

Unfortunately there is no configuration option for this.
You will have to edit the components/com_rsevents/helpers/theme.php

RSEvents won\\'t work with RSComments

I have followed exactly the mentioned steps and still no comment fields in my event's detail page. It only works fine with normal Joomla sections and categories.
