Are comments for FAQ nodes available?

I cant seem to be able to "add a comment" to a FAQ entry not even with the admin user.
I use FAQ_Ask for questions combined with FAQ module.

This could be useful for clarifications of a FAQ item.

You should be able to enable comments for faq nodes on the content types configuration page (admin/content/types/faq). If you have done this and are referring to the "add a comment" link not appearing on the "faq" page, then will be available in the next release (try the dev version in the meantime).

If this doesn't answer your question, then please elaborate.

Cheers,
Stella

I have enabled the comments for the FAQ content type but still no "Add Comment" link anywhere.

This is happening both on my local install and on my remote install ..

I tried the development one, it fails to install !!

Can you elaborate on "fails to install"? Did you get any errors? How is it not working? Did you run update.php?

Cheers,

Hey, it just gave a plain white screen but I tried it again and it now works providing the "Add a comment" link... I am talking about development release..

The problem is that when I install FAQ_Ask module the comments' link disappear..
Any idea?

Looking at FAQ_Ask project pages but I cant seem to find anything related

Hmmm strange, I'll have to re-assign this to the FAQ Ask module's issue queue instead.

Nancy: it looks like the FAQ Ask module isn't working correctly with the latest faq dev version (which is in a "ready to be released" state). I'll hold off on making a new release until you've had to investigate.

The only thing I do with comments is to get the "comment_faq" variable (created by comment.module) and put it into the new node. I don't see any other possible involvement with comments. I get the link only when I use "teaser view." And of course, an unanswered question won't have the link because it hasn't been marked "published" yet.

I've tested this in both D5 and D6, both with and without the faq_ask module enabled and the "add a comment" link always appears - as long as comments are enabled for the 'faq' content type. As Nancy suggests, maybe ensure the faq is answered and published.

Cheers,
Stella

Thanks, Stella. It's always nice to know I'm not crazy. (Well, okay, but at least I'm not seeing something different.)

Ok, now its working again. Sorry for that but I had tried already a few times before posting.
There must have been something strange in the DB. I am unsure.

Thanks again anyways

Of course. You just need to enable comments for the content type.
