I've enabled the Comment Upload module but the comment creation form doesn't have a file upload field -- nothing seems to have changed. Attachments are enabled for my content types. Is there something else that needs to be done? Thanks.

I should also mention that I've configured the permissions to allow me to upload.

I ran into the same issue when I upgraded from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 and went over to the Drupal 6 version of Comment Upload. I'm pretty sure I had to enable comment attachments for the specific content type I wanted them available for (forum posts) before the attachment area of the form would appear.

I've been looking on the content type for a box to check but haven't found one -- do you know where the option should appear?

Hmm, I don't remember but I'll look it up and post a reply tomorrow.

Thanks -- the problem's puzzling as I'm not sure where to look to start troubleshooting.

Has anyone else seen this issue, or have any ideas for things I might try to troubleshoot? I'd really appreciate help with this.

I think this issue is the same as: http://drupal.org/node/512132

Does that seem right?

On http://drupal.org/node/512132 , Justin Freeman says he had this problem and changed the weight of the comment_upload module to '1' in the system table of the drupal db to make the 'enable' option for comment upload appear on the 'edit content type' form. I tried that and it worked.

Sorry, one last note -- for those unfamiliar with it (as I was), here's a description of the purpose of a module's weight, from the 'Weight' module:

"For most operations involving any module that defines a particular hook, the modules are invoked in order first by weight, then by name."

Module weights can be manipulated via a module (rather than by directly writing in the db), through the Utility module available here:
