Hi,

I have installed this module but cannot seem to get it to actually take effect. It sounds like exactly what I need (comment controls for CCK fields, that save the history of changes to the comments like project). However installing it via the normal module installation method doesn't seem to have actually made any changes for me.

How I installed this:
- extracted module to relevent module directory
- enabled in my site via the modules page
- made sure my CCK type had some CCK fields assigned to it that could be set during node creation
- made sure the comment box was below the content, as is required in the project module

However there are no CCK fields visible on above or around the comment box.

I tried this with the 5.x stable release, and on my 6.x test site with the 6.x dev. The only difference was with 6.x I had to set a permission.

Could someone who has successfully set this up please point me in the right direction?

If installation requires anything other than the norm, a readme could be generated as the outcome of this issue.

Regards,
Fuzz

Edit the CCK field and at the bottom (well, I found mine at the bottom), there's a checkbox for allowing comments to alter the values in that field.

Hope it works for you.

Thanks for the speedy reply :)

Hmm. Tried that. It's still definitely not showing up here. Tried a few more things - thought it might be to do with threaded comments vs flat (I use threaded). Changed it to flat, no difference.

Are you using 6.x.dev or 5.x?

Oh I forgot. I had to implement lots of patches for 6.x. Attached my version with patches. You might want to try it.

Extracted that zip over the top of my existing folder, rechecked my permissions, and fields etc. Can still see / edit the fields on node CREATION, but can't see anything at all in / above / below the comment form for changing CCK fields.

I must be doing something wrong... Really hope it's not something stupid.

It's getting late in Australia (2:09am, ouch). Heading off to bed now, but will be up in a few hours and can give any more suggestions a go then. Thanks for your help.

Silly late night mistake of mine. I read your comment about the checkbox to mean it would be on the comment itself, not in the field settings. Had another look at it in the light of day and can see it now. Thanks, all working.
