After update(0.6 -> 0.7), "Comment on anything" is not working...

Changelog: "Comments can be attached to any project object that supports them. Any object can disable comment posting localy (enable_comments field)"

But I not found nothing like "enable/disable comments".

Support for comments is on system level and it is enabled only for messages and files. When I said comments on anything I meant that a developer can attach comment to any object by typing 2 lines of code, not that every object type support comments.

Ok.

I was trying by code. =]

"protected $is_commentable = true;"

Added in ProjectTaskLists.class.php, no effect.

I will finish the translation to brazillian portuguese first, after I try understand. =]

Thanks Ilija!

So, tasks list are commentable if you added that. Use commenting helpers to add support to interface (render comment form and list attached files).

I installed the system finally, bcz I saw "Comment on anything" its quite handy feature, but I spent couple hours to locate where comment setting resides.

Being a non-coder I don't know what to do to enable comments and probably I am unable to see if there is something published in help.

Any help in this regard would be much appreciated, and I strongly vote for putting it in default distro though.

Thanks again for a nice software!

best regards,

As I mentioned previously, comments on anything means that comments can be attached to any type of the object in the system by adding single line of code, not that it is enabled out of the box. That feature is really important for plugin development because developers do not need to reinvent commenting all over again.

Where would you like to see comments enabled?

Hi Ilija,

Thanks for clarifying the purpose of switching it off out of the box.

I would like to enable it on "everything" but for now need for "tasks".

Thanks.

Task will get comments in 0.7.5. Hacking it out with 0.7 would be a problem because you need to introduce task details page, show how many comments there are for a task etc. Way too complicated for something that will be redone in less then a month.

Thanks Ilija.
