I would be very proud if you could open a topic on the forum section "testimonials and show off" to explain how you did it. Then, your request... Since you have very few categories, I propose you a simple way to solve your problem : 1. adding a field in categories table comments_enable enum('true','false') 2. retrieving this info in photo.php 3. still in photo.php, if this field info is set to "true", comments are available Setting this parameter would need a direct access to the database (PhpMyAdmin). Would this convince you ?

(0000053) marsue (reporter) 2004.11.12 19:37	unfortunately I'm not the user of the account that host the gallery and the person who is isn't a technical person at all :-( So It might be a better solution to have in the admin section the ability to define which category is eligible for commenting. I was thinking about the page admin.php?page=cat_modify&cat=catid, with comments turned on by default and the adminuser will have to go to the category edit panel to disable the comment... But I keep the solution in mind and will present your solution to the user comunity to see if they agree to have a gallery upgrading ... they are very reluctant to any changes because it works at the moment!
