Why
Often people want to put something between the comments an the body or they want to put a block between the comment form and the comments. Or they just want to be able to sort by date ...Thats why this module was created.
What it does
Put comments and comment from in a block
OR
Put only comment form in a block and use a views block to display comments.
Additional it forces the "add new comment" button to always show up inside a node (standard is only show up if there is more than one comment).
Ajax Comments?
Just use: http://drupal.org/project/ajax_comments
ONLY works with the normal mode (when comments not displayed using views)
Views: Filtering, ajax pager ..
This module ships with a views block. SO you can use all the power of views, meaning ajax pagers, exposing filters ....
Display Types
At the moment this module supports two display types.
1.) Put the comments+the form all into one block
2.) Put the comment form in a block and use a views block to display the comments.
