Comments link on page listing news

I’m using Ditto to list my news items. Each news item also has commenting enabled (via UserComments). Now, how do I add a comments link (which also states the number of comments) for each news item listed on my news page? If you need an example of what I’m after, its the same as the ModX Blog - http://modxcms.com/blog.html

Use the UserCommentsCount snippet do do this.

Mark I have installed this snippet but I can’t get it to work. At the moment, my Im using this tag . Its outputting "Comments (0)" at the bottom of the news page.

How do I get it listing the correct number of comments and for each news item?!

You need to use the paramaters available in the UserCommentsCount snippet. Don’t forget that the document that is being parsed by Ditto has the id [+id+].

Hi Mark,

Could you give an example of how to make the call to the UserCommentsCount?

How do I insert the id into the snippet call? I’m a bit lost....

Thanks
