Comment count

Hi there,

I’m having some problems getting the comment count to work as I want it to. What I am trying to achieve is this:

If comments open and some comments
Date . Permalink . Comment Invite (comment_count so far)

If comments open and no comments
Date . Permalink . Comment Invite

If comments closed
Date. Permalink. Comments closed.

At present the code in the form is

<p style="font-size: 12px; margin-top: -20px;"><txp:posted gmt="1" /> &middot; <txp:permlink>Permalink</txp:permlink><txp:if_comments_allowed> &middot; <img src="../assets/images/comments_add.png" width="16" heigh="16" alt="Add a comment" /> <a href="<txp:permlink />#cpreview" title="Leave a comment">Comment (<txp:comments_count />)</a></txp:if_comments_allowed><txp:if_comments_disallowed> &middot; <img src="../assets/images/no_comments.png" width="16" heigh="16" alt="" /> <txp:comments_count /> comments</txp:if_comments_disallowed></p>

The problem being, that the output for 0 comments is:
Saturday February 19, 2005 · Permalink · 0 comments (for an article with comments disabled)

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Sajid

Re: Comment count

You can wrap the <txp:comments_count /> in <txp:if_comments>...</txp:if_comments>. This way it will only show the comments count if there are any comments. txp:if_comments
