I need to setup an {if} statement that will show “1 Comment” when there is only one comment.  If there are multiple comments, the title should have an “S” on the end with the title being “2 Comments”.

Is that possible?  Not sure how to do it…

Thanks!

Have you tried something like this between your {exp:comment:entries} tags?

<h5>{count} COMMENT{if count >1}S{/if}</h5>

You could probably also test for count!= “0” and selectively display the comment counter or an alternate message like “Be the first to Comment about this Entry!”

Thanks Bob!  That works great, but it also removes the “s” when there are no comments.  I need it to be “0 Comments” instead of “0 Comment”.  I tried modifying the if statement, but not luck…

{count} comment{if count != 1}s{/if}

😊

Ahhh… I figured out why it wasn’t working.  I was trying to use “count”, but this case called for “comment_total”.

Comment{if comment_total != 1}s{/if}

I don’t have time to run this in a live page that has comments, but it oughta work:

<h5>{count} COMMENT{if count == 0 OR if count >1}S{/if}</h5>

Thanks Bob & Ingmar… Problem solved.

You’re right. COUNT is the sequence where the Comment occurs in a Comment list for an entry. e.g. “This is Comment No. {count}.” My bad.
