I’m a little confused with the comments functionality of EE.
I’m trying to create a comment submission form on my kb pages, and followed this page:
http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/comment/entries.html#submission_form
I must need a more detailed “How To” as I can’t get the form to show up.
If you need more information please ask.

Greetings!
May I see a sample of your code containing the exp:comment:form tag?

Here is the container code:
<div class="kb-body">
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:weblogs}" limit="1" rdf="off" disable="trackbacks" }
<h1 class="kb">{title}</h1>
{exp:markdown}{body}{/exp:markdown}
Last Updated: {edit_date format="%M %d, %Y"}
{if extended}
{extended}
{if:else}
{!-- Start Comments --}
{embed="include/inc-comments-form" weblogs="{embed:weblogs}"}
{!-- End comments --}
{embed="include/inc-same-cat" catid="{categories}{category_id}{/categories}" weblogs="{embed:weblogs}"}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</div>#4 / Jun 12, 2008 6:18pm
This is the embeded form from the code above
Comments:
{exp:comment:form weblogs="{embed:weblogs}"}
{if logged_out}
Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="{name}" size="50" />
Email: <input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" size="50" />
Location: <input type="text" name="location" value="{location}" size="50" />
URL: <input type="text" name="url" value="{url}" size="50" />
{/if}
<textarea name="comment" cols="70" rows="10">{comment}</textarea>
<input type="checkbox" name="save_info" value="yes" {save_info} /> Remember my personal information
<input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" value="yes" {notify_me} /> Notify me of follow-up comments?
{if captcha}
Please enter the word you see in the image below:
{captcha}
<input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20" />
{/if}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" name="preview" value="Preview" />
{/exp:comment:form}I’m pretty sure I’m missing something I have to setup. If someone could run through all the steps I need to take in the CP and the templates I would appreciate that.
The documentation only explains the code to post: http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/comment/form.html

What is the URL when visiting the page you are trying to view comments on?
#6 / Jun 12, 2008 7:09pm
http://localhost/support/kb/product/product-7.2_improvements/
Set by the Pages Module.

Comments require a ‘single-entry’ page, and weren’t designed work with Pages URI. However, you could fake it with PHP on input. Something like…
<?php global $IN;
$IN->QSTR = ($IN->Pages_QSTR != '') ? $IN->Pages_QSTR : $IN->QSTR;
?>Let us know how it works out for you.

Faking it totally works.
Thanks
