Hey all,
I have a D6 site that I need some help with.
I have a custom content type, called 'item request'. This is a request for an item that someone wants to see on the site.
Below an 'item request' I want there to be a form in which another user of the site can reply to the original poster with a comment, and an image - the site is based around selling antiques. This comment and image need to be emailed to the original poster.
I understand a custom form type is required (perhaps custom module?), and I would like some help.
This can be paid work.
In fact, i'm currently using http://drupal.org/project/authorcontact module at the moment. What I want is that exact same functionality but with an image field as well.
If you are interested please get in touch with me via email - nickread1@gmail.com

I think there are a couple
I think there are a couple ways you can solve this with minimal custom code.
You could make a response content type, so instead of creating "comments" with a photo, users are creating actual nodes. Those nodes could relate to the original via a node reference field with a view to show the related items in a list.
If you want to use the actual node commenting functionality, you might be able to leverage this module: http://drupal.org/project/comment_fields to add an image field to comments. Then the standard comment system would show all the responses.
