Added this code to my node-blog.tpl.php file to display comments after each blog post on a blog's main page:

    if ( $page == 0 ) {

        print "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n";
        print "<tr>\n<td width=\"50\">&nbsp;</td>\n";
        print "<td align=\"left\">\n";
        print "<div class=\"content\">" . comment_render($node,0,0) . "</div>\n";
        print "</td>\n</tr>\n</table>\n";
    }

And it works great for displaying the comments, but it broke the pager, which is no longer displayed at the bottom of the page. Any suggestions?

That's because comment_render() uses the same pager main-page uses.

A dirty solution:

1. Examine 'pager.inc' and find out all the global variables it uses to record the pager status. Then, before the call to comment_render(), save them in backup variables. After the call, restore them.

2. To prevent having a possible pager under the comments, temporarily set the comment_default_per_page to some 'infinite' value (like 9999).

Thanks for the suggestion! Worked like a charm. :)

Anyone feel like sharing some more detail on how this approach might work? Or a more step by step description of how to do #1 listed above?

Thanks
