Story Pages

Hi,

I am creating a site where songs and pictures etc can be uploaded and people can make comments on them. When I created my story page and uploaded the songs, they are grouped together. I was wondering how I can separate the files and have separate sections on the same page for visitors to comment. For Example:

Now it looks like this:

File

Add Comments

I'd like it like this:

File
Add Comments

Thanks for your help!

It sounds like you are allowing multiple uploads per node. Comments though apply to a node.

I think you'll want to make a separate page for each upload, enabling each to have it's own comment thread. Then, using the Views module, create a view that summarizes your individual pages, by their teaser, into a list or grid view-page.

This technique enables you to add more individual upload pages over time, and the Views module will automatically add them to your summary view.

The final result is a page with multiple uploaded items displayed, and each can be selected for deeper investigation and commenting.

Thank you very much for this

Thank you very much for this idea, I think I am definitely going to use this idea. Do you know where there might be a little more detail on how to exactly pull it off? Or if you know, would you mind detailing the steps involved in doing it?

Thanks again!

I got something sorta like what you're talking about with going to the views admin page, creating a "clone" of their front page template, and then configuring the view to only be image nodes, and to display them in a grid. Then, in the content types creation/edit admin area, I set the teaser display to be a an imageCache thumbnail that links to the whole node - and the whole node has commenting ability.

Sorry I can't give you exact steps. The key thing was to change the view's basic settings style to be a grid.

You'll probably want to read up on using Views. It's complicated, I think, I just try stuff until I get what I want, with lots of web searching as I go along...
