The ultimate wikidot comments counter
A sophisticated, conditional way to present the number of comments
A couple of weeks ago Timothy Foster presented the singular/plural CSS changer for counting comments. Today, I’d like to build on his idea and take the comments counting to the next level. The aim is for the comments counter to not only be able to add/remove the 's' on the end of comments, but for it to also say 'No comments yet' when the page has not yet been commented. If you’d like to see it in action, I’ve added it to the comments for BMC blog posts… just scroll down to the bottom of the page.
The basics
We’ll start with the basics, building the singular/plural support. For this tutorial, I'm assuming that you're working with the comments module in the live template, but this could just as easily be applied to the ListPages module.
On the live template (category:_template) with the comments module, you will presumably want to say something along the lines of '12 comments'. To remove that pesky 's' when only one comment has been posted, you just need to wrap a span around the 's', and use the %%comments%% variable in the class name.
%%comments%% comment[[span class="sp%%comments"]]s[[/span]]
