How to output something like "No comments yet. Write the first"?

hello forum,

sure, this question must have been answered somewhere but as the search terms are very generic i can’t find the solution. i would like to output a message in case there are no comments to an article so far.

this is my comments form:

<p class="small excommentmeta">Kommentar von <txp:comment_name />. <txp:comment_time /></p>
<txp:comment_message />

i tried this but it doesn’t work:

<txp:chh_if_data> <!-- check for comments data -->
	<p class="small excommentmeta">Kommentar von <txp:comment_name />. <txp:comment_time /></p>
	<txp:comment_message />
<txp:else /> <!-- no comments -->
	<p>Bisher keine Kommentare zu dieser Ausstellung. Schreiben Sie den ersten!</p>
</txp:chh_if_data>

thanks for your help!

How about something like:

<txp:if_comments_allowed>
  <txp:if_comments>
    ...stuff here...
  <txp:else />
    <p>No comments yet.</p>
  </txp:if_comments>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>

I think that would work.
