Although I have comments enabled and I have been using them successfully for ages now, I've come to notice that they have stopped working in the last week or two.
I am running version 3.20100312 with the following configuration:
http://static.natalian.org/2010-03-27/natalian.txt
In my (HTML5 modified page.tmpl) it doesn't seem to enter the "TMPL_IF COMMENTS" block anymore. I tried the stock page.tmpl and they didn't seem to work either, so the variable name hasn't changed has it?
Any other ideas? With thanks,
comments_pagespec => 'archives/* and !*/Discussion',
Your setup file only allows comments to pages under archives. That
seems unlikely to be right, so I guess it is causing your problem.

That's the only place where I want comments. http://natalian.org/archives/
Has the pagespec changed? Is it archives/*/* or something like that?
It worked just fine with this configuration. I swear I have not modified it. :) -- [[Kai Hendry]]
No changes that I can think of. 'archives/*' will match all pages under
archives. Anyway, I can see in your site's rss feed that comments are
enabled for posts, since they have comments tags there. And
in fact I see comments on eg
http://natalian.org/archives/2010/03/25/BBC_News_complaints/.
So I suspect you have simply not rebuilt your wiki after making some
change that fixed the comments, and so only newer pages are getting them.

I have tried rebuilding on my squeeze system and still comments don't appear. Any clues how to debug this?

I was worried is was due to a time skew problem I was experiencing on my VPS in the last month, though the time is right now and still comments do not appear on blog posts like http://natalian.org/archives/2010/03/25/BBC_News_complaints/
Debugging templates
sudo apt-get install libhtml-template-compiled-perl
hendry@webconverger templates$ cat test-template.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use HTML::Template::Compiled;
local $HTML::Template::Compiled::DEBUG = 1;
my $htc = HTML::Template::Compiled->new(
filename => "$ARGV[0]",
);
eval {
print $htc->output;
};
if ($@) {
# reports as text
my $msg = $htc->debug_code;
# reports as a html table
my $msg_html = $htc->debug_code('html');
}
hendry@webconverger templates$ ./test-template.perl page.tmpl
Missing closing tag for 'IF' atend of page.tmpl line 159
I think the problem was before that it was <TMPL_IF COMMENTS> and now it is <TMPL_IF NAME="COMMENTS"> ?
Solved
A merge with the templates in master with my html5 branch looks like it has solved the problem. Also see [[bugs/html5_support]].
