Hi All,

i am new to phoca and i really like the simplicity of it, however i am trying to allow all users/visitors to rate my images but it keeps saying you must be registered to comment :(

i read somewhere that i needed to download the JComments Plugin Files? which i tried to do but when i try and install it it says:

Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.

so im not sure what to do, could someone please help me?

many thanks

Hi,

rating is only possible for registered users. Comments can be enabled for non-registered users also when using JComments for this. But then you don't need to install the JComments plugin(s) which can be found on the Phoca pages but the JComments extension itself to be found here.


Regards,
Ronny

hi mate,

just got back from the pub after watching england win, and i installed the module which you linked to in the above post and it installed ok, i have selected jcomments as the External Comment Extension within the parameters but i am still unable to leave a comment on a picture, is there something else im missing?
