I have a question about one of the options in Gallery Metadata.

What is the difference between "Comments Only" and "Allow Reviews" in the pull down menu?

From memory, reviews are comments with ratings enabled.

OK thanks Adam But then I wonder why the ratings check box is included too?

Yes, I have wondered that myself. It's a totally separate rating system for reviews (ie, comments) is the best way to look at it.

I think the main reason for the separation is because of the non-bundled addon that allows you to define custom criteria for reviews. So while it just has a generic rating by default, with the non-bundled addon you can define other criteria which members can give 1-5 stars, such as Grammar, Insight, Quality, etc.
  • Need support for version 10? The core development team is no-longer offering it for free (unless it's a critical bug that breaks your entire site or a serious security hole). Please consider hiring me instead if you need v10 support or a non-critical bug fix. Or, ask the community in the forums!
  • Do you enjoy Composr? Please consider contributing your talent to the project or recommending Composr to others. Even small contributions make a big impact in the Composr community.
  • Do you have feedback for us? You can report bugs, suggest features, or give feedback on the Free support options page.
  • Do you need professional service with your Composr website? Please consider contracting me for your needs through my company, PDStig, LLC. Doing so will also help fund Composr development.
  • Want to watch live streams of me developing Composr CMS? Please subscribe to me on Twitch to be notified when I stream. Composr development streams are usually spontaneous / not scheduled in advance as work priorities come first.

I wasn't aware that the non-bundled addon tied into the Reviews. That's pretty neat.

It's either ratings or reviews. I cannot remember honestly as it's been a bit of time since I touched that code, lol.
