The script I'm using for news posting is designed so the comments for each news item are displayed with links like "/news/comments.php?action=list&newsid=1" but I'd like to have the comments displayed below each post, rather than on a separate page. There doesn't seem to be a variable to do this with the templates, so how can I accomplish it? The script is available for download at http://www.utopiasoftware.net/newspr...b.zip&mirror=1

Perhaps there's a better script I should use instead? I don't need a cms script though, just a way to include blog posts on an otherwise static website.

Ok well I hacked parted of the news.php script to include sections from comments.php relevant to listing comments. I'm using the $comments_list_commentbit variable in the news_newsbit_commentslink template, but I'm only getting one comment out of 5 in the database showing up, and it's showing on the wrong newsid. Any ideas?
