Hi can i put coments in top of my artickle?
Yes, but it'll take a little bit of HTML knowledge to do it.
Serendipity uses a template engine called Smarty to output all its data. Smarty uses standard HTML, but adds {} tags to do extra stuff, like looping and printing variables.
The entries and their comments are printed from entries.tpl. Normally this is in your current template's directory, something like templates/brownpaper/. If it's not there, Serendipity will fall back to the templates/default/ directory instead. I recommend copying the default/entries.tpl to your template directory before editing it, so the original version won't be spoiled.
SO, edit your entries.tpl. Find the line that looks like {serendipity_printComments blah blah blah}. Along the way, you'll notice lots of {if} statements and HTML. That's how Smarty and Serendipity choose the correct way to print your entries. For instance, if it's not a single entry (for instance, we're looking at all the entries in a category), then we don't print the comments out.
Go back up until you find the spot where your entry is printed. Insert the serendipity_printComments line here. Save the file, reload your page, and you should see your comments in their new location.
