I copied my comment forms directly from my blog posts so I can use them also for comments on trainer pages but the same code that was working before wont work with my new channel.

Link to example (droplr)

Is there anything I'm forgetting to get this to work? If I remove the channel variable from both, nothing will change with the comment:entries, but comment:form will display. I can't seem to get these to display with the personal_trainer_directory channel

Current Channel Settings

  • Is this code appearing in a single entry template (with a URL that specifies an entry)?

Sounds like the form doesn't know which entry to associate the comment with.

Try setting either the entry_id="" or url_title="" parameters on the {exp:comment:form} tag.

  • Can you post the full template code to www.pastie.org? Try hardcoding an entry_id or url_title. What happens?

  • I added the url_title="{last_segment}" to the comment loop so it would be on that and the form and it seems to be working now! thanks for the help!

  • Yes, it needs to be on the comment tag too. Glad you got it sorted.

    This just saved my butt, working with structure and it looks like I now need this parameter. Thanks Anna.

Joe,

You'll need to make sure that comments are on for that channel, and that you're visiting that page as a Single Entry page. That is, where the URL contains either the Entry ID or URL Title of an entry that allows comments.

  • I checked the channel settings and they seem to be enabled: d.pr/sYS1 and its a single entry.. I created the page by oging to Content > Publish > Personal Trainer Directory and filled out the fields there.. same process I used for blog posts

  • Can you give an example of the URL? You can leave out the domain name. I just need the part after the domain. Thank you!
