Hello there. I want to know if gallery v2.0.1 have this option - put a "lastest comments" button on the main gallery page so everybody can view the lastest comments on all photos. I've searched for this option of the program but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks

I try to configure GD Graphics Toolkit because comments module depends on it but it returns "You don't seem to have the GD library available on this PHP installation." I downloaded, compiled and installed libgd but the gallery still gives me that massage. I know that gd lib must somehow be imported in php but I don't know how. I reinstalled php and in configure parms added --with-gd, but there was errors so I installed it without --with-gd. Can you tell me what to do to get this lib wirking with php and respectively with gallery.

Thanks

doesn't the comments module work without GD? you should just get less features...

Comments module works without GD but I want everyone (including guests) to have rights to view global comments (lastest comments for entire gallery). There is a option which depends on Captcha module and respectively Captcha module depends on GD. That's my problem. Please tell me if I misunderstood something.

Thanks

you only need gd/captcha if you want guests to enter a few digits when they're posting a comment. this is a spam protection feature.
and it's not related to view all comments.

guests must have view comment permission to get this new view all comments link.
