I’ve reached a roadblock with displaying user comments.

On the site index page we’re displaying the most recent entry from a channel ... so the URL for this is http://www.websitename.com ... I’m assuming that because we’re not using the url_title in the URL the comment section isn’t displaying.

I can hard code the entry_id or the url_title into the comment tags and everything shows up, but I need it to be dynamic so when the homepage content automatically changes next month to the latest entry the comment tags also update.

Is there a way to do this that I’m overlooking?

Thanks!

If you are inserting the comment form from within the entries loop, the entry_id for the entry in question would be available to you as a variable.  So commonly I would approach this by inserting the comment form with an embed from within the entries loop, and passing the id for the entry as a variable into the embed, resulting in the comment form being dynamically tied to the entry.

Does that help?

Perfecto! Thanks so much for the help, that totally worked!

I thought for some reason you weren’t allowed to put the comment tags inside the entries loop… guess I was wrong.  😊

Thanks again!
