I'm needing to allow users of a site to add structured comments to nodes. Are there any stable modules out there for Drupal 6 that will enable me to do this? I'm thinking along the lines of being able to add CCK-like fields to the comment type. In an ideal situation the administrator would be able to alter/change the questions being asked on a node-by-node basis, but not necessary. We're after a simple solution if possible.
A:
You'll have to wait for Drupal-7 with fields in core before something like that is available. Currently there is no module/patch etc. that allows you to do something like that.
If you really want to, you could create a module from scratch, but that would be quite a challenge in itself.

You might want to check the Node comments module. It allows you to use nodes as comments, which makes it possible to use CCK fields in them.
The currently maintained 2.0 version is still in beta, though.

Apart from the fact that this is in beta it looks very promising thanks. I had originally thought that comments were going to work a little like this anyway with Drupal's usual approach of everything having a node reference.
