Howdy again!

I’ve done some searching around, but I can’t seem to find a way to do any sort of backspacing in the comments tag. I looked in the documentation, and while you can in Channel Entries tag, it doesn’t seem to be available in the Comments Entries. Is this the case? If it’s not available, is there a reasoning behind it? Seems natural to me that something like that would be included, so if you have a separator between your comments, the last entry doesn’t have that bottom separator.

Thanks again!

helbnt,

You are welcome to make a feature request but I don’t think it is needed. A simple conditional should do it for you

{exp:comment:entries sort="asc" limit="20"}

{comment}

By {name} on {comment_date format="%Y %m %d"}

{if count != "{total_results}"}
<hr>
{/if}

{/exp:comment:entries}

John, that worked beautifully. Thanks much!

If you have the time, can you explain how that works? I’m trying to follow it - if the comment count does not equal the total results, add the HR tag? I’m confused 😊

But regardless, if you’re too busy, please feel free to close this out. Thanks again!

Basically if the current count is not equal to the total results (in other words less than it) show the horizontal rule. So :

Entry 1 (Count 1)
Entry 2 (Count 2)
Entry 3 (Count 3)
Entry 4 (Count 4)
Total Results = 4

In the example above the first three entries would not be equal to the amount of total_results so the rule shows. On the fourth entry though the count for that entry and total_results are the same so the rule isn’t shown as the conditional says if not equal to.

Best wishes,

Beautifully explained. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks Mark.

No problems. Glad that explained it for you. I’m not normally very good at explaining things like that so I’m glad it came across well.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the assist, Mark.
