Hi friends,

I’m a newbie. I use the code as below and it doesnt display the “no comment” message :/ just blank. I got the info from http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/comment/entries.html but not working :/ What am I missing?

Appreciate helps! thanks a lot

{exp:comment:entries sort="asc"}
                        
{if no_results}
       There are no comments for this entry yet.
{/if}    
                    
<div class="comment">
         <div class="fineprint">
                   <span class="comment_author">{if url} <a href="http://{url}" title="{url}"> {/if} {name} {if url} </a> {/if} </span> said on <span class="comment_date">{comment_date format="%F %d, %Y"}</span>{url}
           </div>
            {comment}
</div><!--/div comment-->
                        
{/exp:comment:entries}

art.mania, are you getting to the form via a link to a single entry page?

In other words, something like http://example.com/index.php/site/comment/name-of-entry where name-of-entry is the url title of an entry?

post, comments, comment form… everything is in 1 page such as http://www.example.com/blog/post/post_title_here/

What version and build are you using? Any extensions?

I use ExpressionEngine 1.6.9.

art.mania,

Can you try adding the channel and and the url_title parameter please?

{exp:comment:entries channel="news" url_title="{segment_3}"}

Have you got commenting enable in your Channel Preferences?
Also have you got commenting turned on in the actual entry itself

Hi John, thanks for your time,

I tried channel and url_title. it just cuts off the rest of page when I use them. It even doesn’t display comment form :/

I enabled commenting. comments are being listed when there are some… and commenting is active for the post.

art.mania, what if you try:

{exp:comment:entries}
                   
   There are {absolute_count} comments for this entry.
                        
{/exp:comment:entries}

Is it outputting the correct number, including 0 when there are no comments?

Can you also try disabling extensions so we can rule those out?

worked with the code below!

{if comment_total == 0}
There are no comments for this entry yet.
{/if}

Glad that worked for you. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
