    Is it not possible to comment on the photos directly uploaded to the journal? I do not see any comment link below it like on others. The photo pops up but to comment you have to go to the photos>albums>photo and then comment. Also when you comment on that photo it does not show up in the journal. Did I miss something or this is how it works for now?

    If this is how it works, can we have comment for the photos directly uploaded to the journal? I think the reason the photos are uploaded directly to the journal is to have have a short discussion right there. Also, if any comment is made on the photo via the journal or by visiting the album it should show up in the journal.

    I really hope I have set it up incorrectly.
    I am using the latest AS/AF/DNN available.
    Thanks.

    I've recently added the comment controls to the "photo" templates that get displayed in the journal when a user posts a photo using the journal tools. Seems comments can be added and viewed at site, group, or profile journals and are shown across all views correctly.

    Comments posted at the journal don't show in photo comments under the gallery, which is fine. But I just wanted to make sure I'm not jumping the gun and will cause issues further down the road with implimenting comments at the journal level for photos. I'm still testing.

    This should really be in the customization forum. We didn't include comments on journal photos for a reason. You will end up with comments for the same photo in two different locations. We would like to eventually merge both, but when a journal entry can display multiple photos and the comment is tied to the journal entry, not photo...it becomes difficult.

    So, as you can see, it can be done. But when viewing a photo in the gallery, comments will not cross post to the site, profile, or group summary.

    Still not quite sure if this has any ill effects though. I don't think it would because it is the comment control from the journal rather than the actual comment control from gallery. It should simply become obsolete or blend in if there are any code changes. But I don't know.

    the customization is in the journaltemplates.config file.
    Cheers! Jeff
