I just noticed that the comment preview in my new template at http://matthias.yellowled.de does not display the preview comment if it is the first comment for an entry. Quite frankly, I don't even have an idea where exactly to start looking for the error. comments.tpl? entries.tpl? commentform.tpl? Which one is responsible for the preview and where?

I am assuming it is comments.tpl since that's the one with the most significant changes compared to default. But what part of it is responsible for the preview?

Hi!

I believe entries.tpl is the problem, if you only show comments when $entry.comments > 0 you will never get a preview area, because $entry.comments will be 0.

Yes, that was to be the problem. Yet it isn't in entries.tpl but in comments.tpl. I had some if statement in there which prevented the preview area.

All entries.tpl does to emit comments is
which I believe then "calls" comments.tpl.

Thanks
