How can I use different comments.php pages?

  • I want to use different comments.php pages depending on pages.
    We normally insert <?php comments_template(); ?> to show comments, when I try <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments.php'); ?>, it does not show comments (it only displays form to add a new comment.
    What did I do wrong here?

  • Personally I’d try using comments.php as a controlling file with all of the conditional statements and conditional includes.

    Thanks Esmi, what I want to do is make 2 different pages for a french + an english version of comments section, can I do this on comments.php page, does the page contain all english I want to translate? (number of comments, presentation of comments, post a comment form)

    does the page contain all english I want to translate?

    It varies from theme to theme but, in theory, yes it should.

    All right, I made the changes in the comments.php page with a if condition, works fine.
    I had to remove the “says:” in the comments-template.php page, I still need to erase “at” between each comment date and time.

    Is there a simple way not to indicate the hour (but I need the date) for comments?

    Sorry for my english, I mean “time”, not “hour” ??

    I can delete time in the admin, putting an empty custom box for time, but “at” still displays, how can I get rid of it or change it?
    What is the page to make this correction please?

    If your comments.php file use wp_list_comments, the only way to do this is to create a custom callback function to display your comments.
