THIS IS FOR WORDPRESS THEMES:

In the new version i would like to see some comments options.
In 2.1 there are no comments on the PAGE you create.
A easy fix for this is to add:
<?php comments_template(); ?>

right after tyhe last Endif in page.php.

This SHOULD be in the a new fix. If the user dont wont comments on there page, they should manually disable it in wordpress core insted of having it disabled in the theme.

I would also like a option to change the default avatar option, which is called from functions.php. More on how to do this manually you can find: http://buildinternet.com/2009/02/how-to-change-the-default-gravatar-in-wordpress/

Other options would be the styling of the comments, widths etc etc.

To get gravatars working I went to functions.php and changed the line (about half way down) from:

<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='48', $default = '<path_to_url> ); ?>

to:

<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='48' ); ?>

and then the custom avatar set in the wordpress admin appears in the site instead of the default blue gravatar.

I tried adding the <?php comments_template(); ?> before the last endif, and it didn't work. :(

Any suggestions?

It would be great if this were an added feature in the next beta.

It goes right before the sidebar code.

Right after this is where it should go....
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

</div>
<div class="sidebar1"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?></div>
<div class="sidebar2">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ?></div>

It does work. I do it all the time..

Worked perfectly, thanks for that, now my custom avatar works perfectly...
