Port Node Comments to Drupal 7

Petitions are useless in most cases. Drupal has do-ocracy which means someone has to do the job or sponsor it.
That said, I think D7 needs complete rethinking of the approach and there could be no need for the porting, but rather whole different module.

I think I need this module to accomplish what I want with D7.

Just wanted to note that Advanced Forum will still be wanting Node Comments in Drupal 7 as it uses it for more than just fieldable comments.

Not a petition or a demand, just a note. :) I had someone surprise me with an AF D7 port so, who knows, maybe someone will decide to do this one. If not, I'll be needing it next Fall and will port it if it hasn't been.

1++; //subscribing, volunteering? is there a sponsor???

Subscribed...

wanting this for d7 too. :/

Given http://drupal.org/node/891276#comment-4961512 , isn't this a won't fix?

Michelle

From me, yes. I am just keeping this issue open because people will demand it anyway.

Ah, ok, gotcha. Sorry I ended up fizzling out. The switch to entities means that I don't need this for forum work anymore.

Michelle

Need it too to my project. subscribe.

another subscribe...

There is no need to comment to subscribe. There is a "Follow" button to click to track an issue.

Number of comments is more visible than number of subscribers.
Also - I am not just following, I am also willing beta tester

@PlayfulWolf: There are 12 people who had to open this thread to see the new comment only to find nothing more than a "subscribe" which can be done by using the follow button. If you're volunteering to be a beta tester, then say so. Saying, "I'm really interested in seeing this happen and am willing to help test it." is a whole lot less irritating than "another subscribe..."

And, in the interest of not being irritating to those other 11 people, I'm done with this tangent. Let's get back on topic.

@Michelle - you are right. Forgot that I am spamming for all in the list... like now :(

Lets get back to topic: I am colunteering to be a beta tester. I need this module for the same reason as 90% of us - to make forum replies the same type as forum nodes.

Not related to this module: Will try some kind of workaround with Conditional Fields module.

Sorry to reopen this old thread..

This is for a relatively mid-size D6 site with about 50k “nodecomment'
nodes, many multi level, with media fields. They are used as comments on
around 30k nodes of a specific node type.

The lack of nodecomment D7 module upgrade or equivalent is delaying our
move to upgrade site to D7.

Please advise on possible solutions using entities or other techniques that will preserve comment threading and
fields.

If there are scripts available, we are ready to consider using that, and
will compensate authors; or co-sponsor a new module. My understanding is that porting NC to D7 is not a recommended solution
long term.

JUst a note: This module is important for Question and Answer sites that want to implement sites similar to stackexchange.com and the rest, so that comments can also be made on comment nodes.

I had 1 project with complex Drupal based forum/og - so this module is essential to forum magic

For some scenarios, meanwhile, the comment_mover module may be interesting.

Since this thread has just been pinged: any movement here as we inch towards D8?

Did anyone ever figure out how to get out of Node Comments 3 (no conversion tool for version 3)? I have a Drupal 6 forum with 70k+ node comments I have to move to Drupal 8 and since we can't convert Node Comments 3 back to regular comments we can't migrate to Drupal 7 or 8.
