How do I adjust comments

Hi, I want beneath every blog I post, the following:

“Filed in <category>, there are a total of 2 comments”

The category works fine, but how do I adjust the comments tag?

I only get this:

There are a total of comments [2]

Please help :)

Re: How do I adjust comments

Hi,

The verbiage for the comment is kept for each article, click more on the right hand side while editing an article – Invitation.

There is also a default in the Preferences tab in the Admin area.

Either go article by article and make the adjustments or sprinkle some MySQL magic over your database.

Unfortunately, my MySQL magic powers are insufficient for this task that was appointed to me.

So, can anybody help me? :)

Re: How do I adjust comments

You can replace the <txp:comments_invite /> tag with something like this:

<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<p>There are a total of <txp:comments_count /> <a href="<txp:permlink />#comment">comments</a></p>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>

You’ll have to add the #comment anchor in your single article form.

Otherwise you can have a look at chu_comments_invite, I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Thanks Els, it seems there are new txp tags I learn about everyday (like txp:comments_count), no need for plugins for me just yet. Thanks again!
