On the latest stopdesign theme, i have noticed a bug on posting a comment.
actually you could not post a comment on each photo even though commenting is Enabled.

Can you give us a link? Someone else was remarking on comment posting in his stopdesign theme, so I tried it on his page and it worked for me.

One other possibility is that the allowed_tags array is not set properly. Please see http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2048&replies=8

Here's the Link SBillard,

just check on each photo.

I looked at your site. There is html code to display the "show" button, but it is not appearing on your page. Check to be sure that you have uploaded all the files from the theme.

Possibly your CSS has been changed or the button image is missing.

Sbillard,

i have noticed that i can see the comment button on IE6, but it does not show up on IE7 and Firefox.

Interesting. I am usint IE7 and Firefox and can see the button.

really? hmmm... dunno whats wrong but i did try reuploading everything even the nightly build.
i saw it in some members as well that their comments button shows up. i think there something's wrong on the latest template-functions file.

Maybe, but I am using the latest-latest versions of everything.

BTW, when I viewed your site in IE7 I did not see your comments button.

yes. thats wot i wonder about. it may be the version of my IE.

No, I can see the button on my site with IE7, but not on your site also using IE7. Very strange.

can you upload your theme somewhere Sbillard.. i think might be the theme itself... i can see other sites functions workin.

Well, in setting this up for you to see, I have been able to reproduce your problem. I was setting up on my secondary test site where there are no comments posted. What I found is the catch-22. If you have comments on an image, then you get the button to add comments. If you don't have comments, then you don't get the button.

I'm not the CSS expert, so I will pass this on to one. Hopefully he can figure out what is going on.

I do think it is a problem unique to stopdesign. Maybe you can use a different theme until this is worked out.

I have noticed this issue too.

There is an error in themes/stopdesign/css/comment-hide.css

It reads :

`#hidecomments, #comments, #addcomment {

display:none;

}`

But #comments should be displayed :

`#comments {display: block;}

hidecomments, #addcomment {

display:none;

}`

Hope it helps

Thanks a lot davidmnodeo, really helped me out!

Thanks to davidmnodeo for the fix. The "add a comment" button now shows up.

However, on a photo page with no comments, when the photo is loading, the entire comment block shows up for about half a second and then disappears, suddenly replaced by the "add a comment" button. This is kind of unattractive to see with every photo load.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the transient appearance of the comment boxes?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Both problems -- the hidden Add Comment button (Thanks to davidmnodeo for the patch) and the "flashing" comment box -- are fixed in SVN and will be in tonight's nightly build.
