Unable to Enable "My Wall"
Good day,
I have researched and tried different approaches to have a "wall" appear on profiles.
Your great book gives instructions for functionality I cannot find.
"By default, commenting on the profiles content type is enabled. On the content section of the profile panel page (/admin/panels/panel-page), we can simply add:
- “Node ID Commentsâ€
- “Node ID Comment Formâ€
If we rename the titles to “My Wall†and “Write on my wallâ€, we have a wall-system already in place.
"
I understand what we are trying to accomplish but I am unsure as to how to achieve it. I have searched and researched quite a good deal into this matter.
I currently am using the versions:
Panels: 6.x-2.0-alpha3
Views: 6.x-2.3
I am new to drupal but not new to software engineering. Please enlighten! (:
Thanks.

2. with no luck
Thank you.
This is very interesting... I was previously doing just what you described above. But again, I followed it exactly step-by-step like you described, to make sure, and still no results.
My Avatar and Personal Info sections show up perfectly as they should but the "Node Comments" and "Comment Form" do not.
I'm curious because all my profile is working, even the Photo Gallery, from Chapter 5! The only problem is that my "Wall" is NOT showing. Puzzling indeed.
Could it be a deeper issue, like my site's theme or permissions?
My Theme is a minimally customized sub-theme of Zen.
Any guidance in the general/right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Please feel free to comment with ANY suggestion you may have.
Thank you!

3. That's strange. Check if
That's strange.
Check if commenting is enabled on the profile content type.
You might also want to check the permissions at /admin/user/permissions

4. thank you
Well, after spending a very good amount of time trying to figure out the cause of the problem it most definitely was a permissions issue AND for some reason the READ/WRITE comments on a profile setting is disabled by default upon registration.
Is there a way I can change the default?
And currently my permissions allow for complete administration of comments. This means that I have permission to edit/delete a comment that isn't my own, on a profile that isn't mine. Is there a permission I can set so a user is only able to edit/delete their rightful comments on another's profile? And I also want to be able to delete (but not edit) any comment that is on my own profile.
Essentially I want a wall functionality that mimics Facebook. I could program my own module for this, but due to time constraints, I would prefer not to. Does anybody know of / have recommendations for an existing "Wall" module?
Thank you all for your help! It is appreciated. It is my hope that others will find this discussion useful as well.

Hi,
I think this is already the case, but if you are logged in as administrator, you can edit everything. Try logging in as a regular user.

6. Permissions capable or PHP needed?
Sorry for questions on a seemingly trivial matter. Your guidance is genuinely appreciated! I know the answers aren't hard to achieve... I just need direction as to how to achieve them.
My Wall Functionality Objectives:
1) A user can delete any comment on his/her profile BUT NOT edit.
2) A user can delete his/her comment on another's profile BUT NOT edit.
3) A user cannot edit/delete a comment that is not their own on a profile that is not their own.
Comment integrity is critical to the nature of my site. For this reason, I have chosen to make no comment editable (on any content type) after submission.
The viewing of "Wall" comments from anonymous users are not allowed because they aren't allowed to view profiles. (But, in general, anonymous users CAN view comments on other content types - blogs, media, stories, etc. but they cannot post)
My questions are: am I able to achieve such fine-tuned objectives using merely Permission settings? Or will I need to code a module? Or does a module for this already exist?
Here is my current permission snapshot:
Permission-------anonymous user---authenticated user
Comment Module
access comments-------X---------------------X-
administer comments----------------------------
post comments------------------------------------X-
post comments
without approval---------------------------------X-
Thanks again for taking the time to help!

1. Try this Step By Step
1.Go to admin/panels/panel-page/Profile/edit/content
Here you have to see to panes if you have done all said in the book. 2.click on a plus sign near the pane you want to show the "Wall".
3.Under "Node Context" category choose "Comment Form". Put a check mark for "Override the title" and write anything you like for the title. If you want it to be the wall just type "The Wall".
4.Under "Node Context" category choose "Node Comments"
5.click on save button.
that's it. know you will see the wall at profile pages.
