Phoca Forum

Hi,

I am using Phocagallery 2.7.5 with the JComment enabled for the user to comment on pictures and also galleries.
I want the authorized users (i.e. author or above) to be able to comment and all other users to be able to read (and reply if they are authorized).

The comments for the individual pictures only become visible when one clicks on the comment pictogram.
However it is not visible on the overview if there are any comments, which is sad because then other users wont notice and enjoy these.
I was expecting that once a comment is made in the overview it would somehow be visible (i.e. small other symbol or at least the comment when hovering over with the mouse) and that in detail view (i.e. large or slideshow) the comment would show up.

Is this possible? Am I missing any option? The comment options are set to
Show category comments: yes
Show image comments: yes
External Comment Component: JComment

Is there a way that I am able to do what I want?

Thanks for any help and hope this issue is resolved!

Hi, this needs to be customized in the code, the problem is, you need to load the information from JComments table and then you can e.g. change the icon or similar.

Hi Jan,

ok - but I tried it with the Phoca-Commenting system also and the comments don´t show in popup or in slideshow (only when clicking the comment symbol).

Is this the expected behaviour? Or any configuration mistake that I am not aware of?

Best,

Stefan

Hi, comments and description are not displayed while slideshow is running - this is a faeature of used javascript library. Because of new mootools library in Joomla! 1.6, descriptions can be displayed in Phoca Gallery 3 version but displaying comments needs to be customized (really no idea e.g. how to display 10 comments while slideshow is running - no place for it in detail window )

If you are using Phoca comments, this needs to be customized, as default they are displayed only in detail window after clicking comment icon (here the icon can be changed but the sql needs to be added - no such sql existing yet )
