Hello,
From reading the module description I was uncertain about something. The description said that comments module must be disabled in order to use this module. Do I need to disable the regular comments module on the whole site, or just on the specific content type I want to use this module for? If I need to disable comments on the whole site, can I set up 2 different comment types with this module, and use one comment type for one content type, and another comment type for the rest of the content types?
To explain: I want basic commenting on all content types on my site, but for one content type, "Case Tracker", I want to have a custom comment form which would keep track of additional details about a case. These comments would then be able to be compiled into a report using views.
If this is possible, let me know!
Thanks

There is no need to disable comment module in Drupal 6. It is required. You can use regular comment for some content types and for other content types you can use nodecomments.

I am sorry but that is not true. You have to disable the normal comment module in order to use node_comments
The node_comments description reads:
"To use this module you need to first disable comment.module. The two are, and will remain, completely incompatible. If you don't disable comment module before enabling Node comments module, the module should do this for you."
And that's what it does if you install node_comments with an enabled comments module - it disables it...
@tevih: I also did not find out if it is possible to have 2 differnet kinds of comments wit node_comments. I think that's not possible so easy coz you have to select the type of node that is used by node_comments in the node_comment settings...

thanks. Wonder if that's a feature that others besides me would find useful?

#1 is correct; #2 is incorrect. You can mix and match core comments and node comments in 2.x. You can also have multiple "comment" node types. Each (non comment) node type has extra settings in the "comment settings" fieldset to say which node type to use for the "comments".

I know that one can choose the node type for nodecomments in the extra settings of a node type in the "comment settings" fieldset .But then how does the nodecomment overall settings interfere with that? in the nodecomment settings you have to choose which node type to be the standart for a nodecomment...

There are no overall settings in 2.x. It's all set per node type.

awesome! Thanks! I'll give it a whirl

Just to follow up - I did this with smashing results! Created a regular comment for all nodes, and then a specific comment type for "case tracker" which allowed additional settings, including time worked and a computed field to calculate total time worked!
NICE!
