Comments OFF for all articles in a section

I want to turn commenting OFF for all articles in a section called “articles”.

I know I could just check the radio button to “comments off” when I post the article. However, I don’t want to have to rely on the user to do this.

So I am thinking I can use a <txp:if_articles> <txp:else /> tagset – but I don’t know which form to put this on.

I have three comment forms:

comments_display
comments
comment_form
pop_up comments

I tried putting it on comments such as the following – but it didn’t work:
_________________________________

<txp:if_articles> hello
<txp:else />

<txp:comment_message />

<p class=“small”>&#8212; <txp:comment_name /> &#183; <txp:comment_time /> &#183; <txp:comment_permlink>#</txp:comment_permlink></p>

</txp:if_section>

_________________________________

Any ideas for how to make this work?

Re: Comments OFF for all articles in a section

You want <txp:if_section name="articles"> not <txp:if_articles>. And you’ll want to put it in your “comments_display” form.

err for future reference, refer to http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Alphabetical_Tag_Listing so you don’t accidentally make up some txp tags :)
