I have tried a couple of approaches to doing this through the interface, so now I assume I must create a conditional in the comments.tpl or comments_wrapper.tpl to achieve my goal, but I am not very familiar with the various variables, etc. that must be referenced. I am hoping someone can help. I am using the latest version of Busy as my theme.
What I am trying to achieve is to have the comments block show on certain content types and not others. I have tried not displaying comments on certain content types using display control in each content type, but I still get pesky '0 comments', which is not going to work. Yet I must have comments on other content types.
Currently I have solved my issue with a hammer by turning off the comments module entirely, but I really do need them for certain content types. My goal, then, is to have on content type Article, lets say, to allow comments as it comes default with Drupal 7. On my custom Content Item content type, I want no reference to comments at all. Does that make sense?
I've taken a look at the comments.tpl and comments_wrapper.tpl in the Busy theme, but I am not sure which part to wrap in a conditional, and what terms to use in the conditional to refer to my different content types.
