Problem with <txp:comments_invite>

I am stuggling to get comments_invite to do what I want. My front page shows article excerpts and links to the full articles in the normal way. I can get the invite to work on the default article form, but not on the comments_display form which is where I really want it. I saw a link to a plugin which was supposed to solve this but when I tried downloading the plugin it said the file didn’t exist.

Anybody have any ideas what I can do?

Cheers

Re: Problem with <txp:comments_invite>

Could probably do with a bit more detail but the comments_display form is called by the comment_invite tag when you have “auto append comment” turned on. The one is followed by the other. Is it on or have you turned it off?

Comments are on by default and auto append is also turned on. What I am trying to do is find a way to show the article and comments without the comments form showing all the time. At the moment, the comments_form tag works in comments_display, but not the comments_invite tag.

Actually that’s not the problem, comments_invite works the same way it does in other places: It only shows anything on article-lists, not when viewing an individual article. See other topic:

Under what circumstances would you not want the comment form to appear?

Right, so I’ll definitely have to wait for the next release then, sorry for the double post.
