comments helper

[augcros]

I have installed nikola, and have my blog site up and running, but we cannot get the comments to work appropriately, and looking through all of the templates and css and everything, we cannot find comments_helper.tmpl. Is there a trick to getting this? We have not found it anywhere in your sourcecodes? I am using the srcco.de theme

The trick is that themes inherit each other. So a template may be in the theme, or on its parent, or its grandparent and so on.

To get a copy to play with do this:

nikola theme -c comments_helper.tmpl

You don't need (even don't want) to edit the template. Make sure you've got the correct config, that the code is generated, and that you are not blocking the necessary external resources.

Hey, so i double checked the demo site, and the comments are working the same way that they are working on my site, which is to say, that on the main page, you can see there is a spot for comments, but when you click that link, it takes you to the post and there are no comments. I'm going to check the parent/grandparent theme, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for as this is literally my first time doing any thing like this. aug

What theme is it?

[augcros]

Source code theme. It looks like the parent theme runs in version 8 of Nikola, which my Linux computer doesn't support.

We found the problem. It's in the post.tmpl file. It was missing this piece at the end of the file: {{ comments.comment_form(post.permalink(absolute=True), post.title(), post._base_path) }} I don't know how to submit a patch.... so here you go :) aug On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 1:11 PM, August Crosby <augcrosby1985@gmail.com> wrote:
