Displaying Comments
A new site I am setting up will feature ONE and only one post on the main page. I need the comments to always dispay below it, meaning: I don’t want a link to the comments, I want all comments and the comment form to display by default… is there a way for txp to do this?
Recently switched from WP and I am really growing to like TXP, it’s elegantly simple, although I still feel a little limited, which I’m sure will resolve itself as I learn more…
Great community here, looking forward to getting involved.

Re: Displaying Comments
Go to Preferences and switch “Auto append comments” off then you need to add the comments and comments form tags to your article form template. You will find the tags in the “comments_display” form. You will have to have a look at the “preview” as well to check it’s behaviour.

Re: Displaying Comments
Need to see the code. Put it inside < code>< /code> tags (without the spaces) to display here properly.

Re: Displaying Comments
Maybe I’m missing something obvious to non-txp-newbs, but I have searched through lots of documentation and can’t seem to find what I’m doing wrong. Although, I did see that error associated with a 4.0.2 bug… anyone know what’s going on here?
Many thanks…

Re: Displaying Comments
Ah. No. I don’t think you can do it like that. I think you need to use the tags <code><txp:comments /></code> and <code><txp:comments_form /></code>.
The tags you are using belong in the “comments” form template to format the style of the comments and will be used by the <code><txp:comments /></code> tag to format it’s output.

Re: Displaying Comments
No problem. I’d be more interested to know if you get it working properly. :)
