    I’m trying to workout the workflow needed to add a dual comment section to a single entry.  Any ideas?  My goal is to have the ability to display general comments under one section, and file uploads in another.  The only things I can think of is using entry relationships or something along those lines.  Has this been done before?  Thank you for any help!

    I’m not clear - you want two comment streams, or one comment stream and one file upload stream?  Who is generating the file uploads - users or content admins?

    Two comment streams: one with just comments, and one with file uploads with the ability to comment on the uploads.  Users will be uploading the content.  I figured I could use Solspaces upload comments mod for the file uploads.

    If the files need commenting separate from the main entry then they need to be entries themselves.  One EE entry == one comment stream, so you’ll need to tie things together at the entry level - and relationships sound like the best approach there.

    Thanks Mike. Does that help, Anthony?
