is it possible to automatically show the comments underneath an entry instead of clicking on comments?
I'm using the MT - Rusty template.

Thanks!
Linda

PS I'm a serendipity dummie so please write accordingly :wink:

Hi Linda!

I think what comes closest to your request is to enter the Serendipity Configuration and set "Use Comment Popups" to "false". :-)

Garvin

You misunderstood me; it is possible!

But you don't have that option set to false, else the comment popups wouldn't appear!

I should say...until a few hours ago I had them on false...but even then you can't read the comments without clicking on them first...

Yes, that would be important to know.

You can enable showing comments on the frontpage, but I really do not advise to do so, because you might get huge frontpages.

You can achieve it by editing your entries.tpl template (copy it from the default template if oyur template does not have that file).

Change this part:

Code: Select all

        {if $is_single_entry and not $use_popups and not $is_preview}
into this:

Code: Select all

        {if not $is_preview}
