when a user creates a comment and changes some term, is it possible to show the change with the comment? similar to what drupal.org does with the issues, the change it's shown with the comment...

thanks

The comment alter taxonomy (CAT) module does support doing this for Issue nodes that are handled by the Project issue tracking module (which is the module used for issues on drupal.org). Since this module was designed for exactly this purpose, I have not included any functionality in the module to display term changes in comments, since any such functionality would basically have to duplicate that functionality already in the project_issue module.

I'm not entirely opposed to adding this feature to display changes on nodes where $node->type != 'Issue', so I've changed the category of this issue to feature request.

I think it should be possible to do this yourself in a separate module, if you wanted to write something yourself before I get around to adding it to CAT. Or, I'd be glad to review a patch to CAT that added the functionality.

The project module is a great module, but sometimes it's just too much for something simple like assigning tasks and watch progress.. I'll take a look to the project module to see what can I do..

If I write a patch I'll post it here..

Thanks

@aclight: well, one solution could be to abstract the comment diffing logic of project_issue into a separate module.

@Damien Tournoud: Yes, that's certainly a possibility. I'm not sure, but I do think I took a look at how easy this might be to do and decided that the diffing and display logic in project_issue was not going to be super easy to abstract into a separate module. However I didn't give it too close of a look.

It's really more the display logic that we'd need to abstract, however, as comment_alter_taxonomy does all of the diffing logic itself by implementing the hook for the project_issue module.
