I am running a local copy of zenphoto. i can't tell you which version because ive looked through the code and files and i don't see the version listed anywhere. i downloaded it around october 18th approximately, though.

problem:
running the default template set, i made an album. album is set to allow comments. i made an additional user account in the backend, and designated this user to also have commenting permissions on the album.

whether logged in as the default user or the user i created, with all permissions selected and commenting enabled, the comment form does not show up.

in album.php, there is the section of code that reads:

if (function_exists('printCommentForm')) { printCommentForm(); }
and to it i added:
else{ print("function not found"); }
i added a similar line to image.php as well.

when i load an album or image, i simply get the printout of "function not found". everything is default. i have just unpacked and installed the system . I want to know how to turn on the comment plugin to get default comment functionality.

version 1.2.6

Have you activated the comments plugin?

the comments plugin was already checked as activated. I have disabled it, saved, enabled it and saved again, and it works now. weird!
