Hi, probably a dumb question, guessing its a layout issue.

When I post a comment to a story, underneath the story it says Comments(1), but this is not a link I can click on to view the comments, like it is in the Geeklog site.

But I can see the comments when I click on the story in full. Using 1.4.1 and using Chameleon just in case its a template issue.

Thanks,

This sure is a theme (or maybe Chameleon) issue. The Professional theme uses the variable {comments_with_count} which should turn into a link automatically once there is at least one comment.

So either you have another variable there in your theme or Chameleon is doing something differently.

Confirmed this is a Chameleon 1.01 theme issue - I fixed this awhile back and forgot to post it to the gllabs tracker. It's not that {comments_with_count} renders to a link, there are actually a couple of themevars missing here.

Here is the fix:

In /layout/chameleon/:

archivestorytext.thtml
featuredstorytext.thtml
storytext.thtml

.. near the last few lines of the file, you will see:

Text Formatted Code
<p>{plugin_itemdisplay}{comments_with_count} {trackbacks_with_count}</p>
 

These need to be changed to:

Text Formatted Code
<p>{plugin_itemdisplay}{start_comments_anchortag}{comments_with_count}{end_comments_anchortag} {trackbacks_with_count}</p>
 


Enjoy!
