As site member posting a comment on a documentation page, I want to be able to attach files – just as I can when editing the documentation page. I want the attached files to be displayed in a table. This is important since file attachments are useful when discussing documentation.
How to Demo:
- Log in to the site.
- Post a comment to a documentation page, attaching at least one file.
- Verify that the accepted file types are the same as when attaching files to documentation pages.
- Verify that the attached files are displayed in a table.
Required Preparations:
- The site should have a documentation page content type, as provided by the first exercise in this suite.
Additional Comments:
- Since the user story explicitly says that files should be managed in the same way on comments as on documentation pages, it may be a good idea to reuse the field rather than create a new one. Still – while creating a new field takes a few more minutes, it may save you many hours of work later on.
- Since the client seems interested in using attachments in the same way in both documentation pages and their comments, it is probably a good idea to display files as tables on the node as well.

Suggested Solution:
- Go to the tab comment fields for the documentation page node type. (See comment and user fields in the fields chapter.) 2 Add the existing field – the attachment field used on documentation page nodes. Set the configuration identical to how it is used in the documentation page node type. (See reusing fields in the fields chapter.) 3 Go to the tab comment display. Set the format for the attachment field to table of files and hide the label. (See field display settings in chapter 7.)
