I have disabled user comments on my site, and have discovered that the news_article.html file still shows the word "comments?" after the "read more... [xxx bytes more]" at the bottom.

It appears that the "Comments?" string is an extension of the $story.readmore array and I wondered if there was any way to seperate it so that ONLY "Read more..." was displayed in a news artlicle summary.

Cheers!

Re: Comments in news_article

well - the simpliest way to deal with this is to modify the language files for the news module

in /modules/news/languages/english/main.php ~line 7:
define("_NW_COMMENTS","Comments?");
define("_NW_ONECOMMENT","1 comment");
define("_NW_BYTESMORE","%s bytes more");
define("_NW_NUMCOMMENTS","%s comments");


replace with:
define("_NW_COMMENTS","");
define("_NW_ONECOMMENT","");
define("_NW_BYTESMORE","%s bytes more");
define("_NW_NUMCOMMENTS","");


No Text = No Link Displayed

The only problem with doing it that way is I want to offer the site in multiple languages eventually... that would mean making the same changes for every language I add. Not a total nightmare I know, but still...

Plus, you still get an unwanted '||' where the 'xxx bytes more' used to be...

Anyway, I managed to break down the array in index.php in the modules/news/ directory and got everything looking the way I wanted.
