Although I have comments enabled and I have been using them successfully for ages now, I've come to notice that they have stopped working in the last week or two. I am running version 3.20100312 with the following configuration: In my (HTML5 modified page.tmpl) it doesn't seem to enter the "TMPL_IF COMMENTS" block anymore. I tried the stock page.tmpl and they didn't seem to work either, so the variable name hasn't changed has it? Any other ideas? With thanks, comments_pagespec => 'archives/* and !*/Discussion', > Your setup file only allows comments to pages under archives.

Is it `archives/*/*` or something like that? It worked just fine with this configuration. I swear I have not modified it. :) -- [[Kai Hendry]] > No changes that I can think of.

Any clues how to debug this? I was worried is was due to a time skew problem I was experiencing on my VPS in the last month, though the time is right now and still comments do not appear on blog posts like # Debugging templates `sudo apt-get install libhtml-template-compiled-perl` hendry@webconverger templates$ cat test-template.perl #!/usr/bin/perl use HTML::Template::Compiled; local $HTML::Template::Compiled::DEBUG = 1; my $htc = HTML::Template::Compiled->new( filename => "$ARGV[0]", ); eval { print $htc->output; }; if ($@) { # reports as text my $msg = $htc->debug_code; # reports as a html table my $msg_html = $htc->debug_code('html'); } hendry@webconverger templates$ ./test-template.perl page.tmpl Missing closing tag for 'IF' atend of page.tmpl line 159 I think the problem was before that it was `` and now it is `` ? # Solved A merge with the templates in master with my [html5](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/html5) branch looks like it has solved the problem.
