Hiding Empty Trackbacks and Comments

Is there a plugin or other way to hide the comments and trackback sections if they are empty?
I do not want to eliminate those items. Many of my posts are announcements. My readers are not big commentors and the blog looks a bit deserted with the comment area present but blank.
Thanks

Hi!
No plugins for that, you must edit the entries.tpl file and add smarty checks:
Code: Select all
{if $entry.comments > 0}
...
{/if}
Quite easy.
(However: How do you add comments on entries without comments when you don't see the comment section?
)
Best regards,
Garvin

If the comment count and the comment form are all part of the same section, I guess I can't. I was just trying to eliminate the headers and count part but leave the comment form for those that want to use it.
Thanks for the code.

Hi!
Hm, I believe you can put the comment form seperately. I believe in the entries.tpl file there's a {serendipity_showCommentform} or sth. like that function call?
HTH,
