Er... How does one enable commenting on a CCK-built content-type please?

I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed by the answer.

Just like on any other content type: admin/settings/content-types, click on Configure next to the content type, then Default comment setting: Read and write. Unlike core content types, comments on CCK nodes are disabled by default. Remember, you will have to manually enable comments on existing nodes.

Thanks bohemicus.

Half embarrassed - Comments, under admin/settings/content-types, was enabled before the import, but they weren't, apparently, set within each individual node... which is a bit of a ballache when there's just over a 100 of the blighters to now update!

Thanks again.

No need to be embarrassed - I've been there before myself. Also, I agree that mass editing in Drupal can be a pain. The checkall module has been a godsend but it is only good for some operations.

Indeed.

Well, in case it's of help to anyone else, here's an SQL query you can perform in PHPAdmin (or wherever) to get the job done, en-masse:

UPDATE `node` SET `comment` = '2' WHERE `type` = YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE'

Thanks, this should be useful for people in the future. You should post it under the SQL snippets in the handbook: http://drupal.org/node/41586.

Yes, good idea - Done!

PS... to others that may fall across this: Pls note, the code above is missing a single quote: " ' "
before:

" YOUR-CONTENT-TYPE' "
