How do I not show "Comments and Commenting is closed..."?
Hello,
For various reasons I’d like to try and use textpattern as the frontend/CMS to write articles but plugin different “add comment” functionality from a different script that I already have on my site. The frontend though of textpattern shows
“Comments
Commenting is closed for this article.”
When you switch commenting off on the backend, which I gather comes through because it is automatically included in the TP tag. (Maybe I understand it wrongly?)
Can I ask what is the recommended way to not have these?
Many thanks for your time,
-Johan

Assuming Textpattern 4.5.7 – check Presentation -> Forms -> comments_display, starting line #58:
<txp:if_comments>
<p><strong><txp:text item="comments_expired" /></strong></p>
<txp:else />
<p><strong><txp:text item="comments_closed" /></strong></p>
</txp:if_comments>Comment/strip that out and you’ll remove the Commenting is closed for this article. part. Additionally, if you want to remove Comments, that’s in the same form from line #46:
<!-- if new comments are allowed for this article then display comment form, if not then display 'closed' messages -->
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<section id="comments-form">
<!-- comment invite text is taken for the article's comment invitation field on the 'write' screen -->
<h3><txp:comments_invite showcount="0" textonly="1" showalways="1" /></h3>
<txp:comments_form isize="32" msgcols="64" msgrows="4" /> <!-- links by default to form: 'comment_form.comment.txp' unless you specify a different form -->
</section>Offline

Hello Johan,
setting “Automatically append comments to articles?” to “No” in basic preferences should turn both off.

Thank you gents, much appreciated. For whatever reason the antivirus at work sees the editor page as cross scripting so doesn’t let me edit and tinker there – so didn’t see these were distictly named items.
