My `numcomments` Git branch adds a `NUMCOMMENTS` `TMPL_VAR`, which is useful to add to the `forumpage.tmpl` template to emulate (the nice bits of) a more usual webforum. Please review... and pull :) -- [[intrigeri]] > How is having this variable for showing a count of the comments > better (or more forum-ish) than the COMMENTSLINK variable which > includes a count and a link to the comments, and is already displayed > in inlinepage.tmpl? > > `num_comments` will never return undef. > > I see no need to add a second pagetemplate hook. > The existing one can be added to.
