Hi...

I was wondering if this has been done or if someone can possibly develop a similar mod in the future.

I use DBMan for a digital art gallery at http://digitalart.org. It would be nice if users could add comments below artwork but I have no idea how to do this.

Look at this: http://digitalart.org/...72&mh=1&ww=1

Is there a way to let users add comments below the image? I want something similar to this: http://www.deskmod.com/...0&design=default

I hope I'm making sense.

Thanks.

Do you mean something like my bookstore database at http://www.jpdeni.com/...6&view_records=1

It will require you to set up a second database for the comments, which will be related to the main database. Take a look at my discussion of relational databases at http://www.jpdeni.com/.../Mods/relational.txt to get an idea of what this would entail.

I can help you as you go along, but this will give you an overview of the process of creating a relational database.

Yeah, that's what I want! Just like that. Thank you.

I will let you know if I need help setting it up.

You might also want to check out this thread. It took me forever to find this modification in the old forum

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum12/HTML/000279.html

I'd be interested in how this could be done differently using a second database.

Lois, you *have* been reading old threads! I'd forgotten all about that one. I really think having a second database is the way to go.

JPD

Yes I have been searching through all the old threads , and this particular mod was mentioned several times with no reference to the original thread, so it took much searching and reading to find the original

You learn alot going through old threads ... you've taught so many people on this forum. I learn alot by reading old and new threads. It really helps to know all the possibilities before starting a database project.

Yes, that's true, Lois, but the problem is that I know a whole lot more now than I knew then and a lot of the code is really bad.
