Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Great module... I can do most of what I want with it.
I'm not sure if this is a bug report, feature request or support request, but here's my issue...
I have two types of nodecomment content-types: "Review" and "Comment." "Comments" are there to add standard comments to the "Reviews."
Under the workflow settings for "Review," I have setup "Comment" as the "Node type for comments." The problem is:
- There is no "Add new Comment" link on the test review I made.
- The "Reply" links leads to the "Create Review" page rather than the "Create Comment" page.
Can the structure be setup in the way I want?

sandiegoseo commentedI am having the same exact problem.

sandiegoseo commentedGreat work on the module to all the dev's.
I did some further investigating and there appears to be a partial workaround for this problem.
To use taite11's example, we have 3 node types:
1. 'Product', type: node
2. 'Review', type: nodecomment (allows users to comment on 'product')
3. 'Comment', type: nodecomment (allows users to comment on 'review').
'Product' workflow settings: Node type for comments = 'Review'.
'Review' workflow settings: Node type for comments = 'Comment'.
The problem:
When creating a Review for Product, everything works fine. However, when trying to create a Comment for Review, there is no 'Add new Comment' link visible. Furthermore, if you click on the 'Reply' link, you get taken to the "Create Review" form here:
/node/add/review/1/2
In this case, 1 refers to the Product node, and 2 refers to the Review node. So we simply change the URL to this:
/node/add/comment/2
This brings up the proper form "Create Comment" form.
Using this method the node association seems to work fine (Comment is a nodecomment under the the parent Review nodecomment). I tried using Fivestar to allow the Comment node to rate the Review node and it worked great. However, if you view the Review node, you will not see any comments. I assume this had to do with the bug itself.
Is this a bug or is this how this module is supposed to work? It would be awesome to enable the nodecomment for nodecomment capability.

quicksketchThanks electricmonk, the patch definitely helped point out the problem. I tidied it up a bit to use the proper construct() and alias table names. I've committed the attached patch to 1.x and 2.x branches.
