Hey,

How can I get commenting on each individual image with acidfree?

I can get them to have comments on the album as a whole but not just single images?

My second question is I want to add a field on the images uploaded, i know i can normally do this with cck but since in the content types there is not a specific one for acidfree, how do i add a multiline text box to each image?

thanks

dave.

First, this is a support type question and should be in the module's project page.

Acidfree uses Image to manage the images, therefore, the content type is "image." You should be able to turn on commenting for images. You should also be able to do what you want with CCK, but AF is managing the display and may not be aware of the CCK changes. The developer may be able to help you there, but he pretty much sticks to the issues lists for the module.

sorted the cck multi line issue by adding it to the image content type.

even though in the image content type commenting is set to on, by default, it isn't on the actual acidfree images even though i can turn them on manually after they are created!

posted a support issue but no response in two days! i need to sort this out since the site is now live and lacking commenting.

Can anyone help? someone else must also have had this problem.

many thanks

dave.

Either do this in phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE `node` SET comment=2 WHERE type='image'

or this in a php page:

<?php
  db_query("UPDATE {node} SET comment=2 WHERE type='image'");
?>

I only partially tested this, but I think it will work. I have no idea how long it will take to run on your database, though.

Don't forget to back up the database first.
