Hi all !!
I just installed this module and have a doubt:

I added some follow ups to an issue but now i can´t edit or delete them in any way, maybe i did not look in the right place.

Instead, adding a normal drupal comment to an issue looks more flexible to me. Again, maybe i'm missing somethig, but when displaying an issue i have two links, an "add comment" link like in every other drupal node, and a "follow-up" link, wich adds a coment in project_comments table.

Can someone giveme some feedback? Why should i use follow-ups instead off comments?

(Sorry if this is too obvious, and sorry about my english)

Thanks in advance !!

If you're actually using the 5.x-1.1 version of project_issue (which you've indicated as the version for this issue) then you're seeing the expected behavior. project_issue 5.x-1.1 and earlier created its own special type of comment called a follow up. The code for these follow ups was specific to the project_issue module.

Recently, in the 5.x-2.x-dev branch, project_issue follows have been removed and replaced with real, actual Drupal comments (as handled by comment.module). There's still some project_issue code that relates to comments and handles certain things like storing the issue metadata (status, priority, etc.) but for the most part issue followups are handled by the core comment module.

Drupal.org is running this new version of project_issue, but as indicated by the name of the branch, these features are still in development and should probably not be used on your own site yet (unless you're just testing) because there may still be bugs and the code may change somewhat before it's officially released.

As long as you're using project_issue 5.x-1.1, you want to use follow-ups instead of comments because comments won't handle attachments and the issue metadata properly. You can disable comments on issue nodes by clicking the disable comments radio on /admin/content/types/project-issue of your site. That will keep the project_issue handled follow ups but disable normal Drupal comments on all project_issue nodes. That's most likely what you want.

Thanks for your answer !

I disabled comments as you stated to avoid the use of both comment types at the same time.
So, i'm waiting the new version to have editable comments :)

Thanks again !!

My problem is I have a lot spam follow-ups, it's painful not being able to do something against dirty porn spam, see what I mean: http://www.planetdvb.net/node/211

I hope the new version comes out soon so I can do something against this dirty spam.

reopening this issue to report a problem with spam isn't necessary.

to stop spammer from registering at your site and using the project module, you need to use a captcha or another form of spam blocker.

an alternative is to ask the spam.module maintainer to add a feature that works with the project issue tracking.module

also note: that you can DELETE that spam by clicking on the delete link when logged in as USER 1

please continue the discussion here: http://drupal.org/node/204070 where I've moved your issue and am trying to help you gather the proper information to file the proper issue against the spam.module which doesn't seem to work for you with regards to the project issue tracking.module.
