A container tag which iterates over a list of comments on an entry or for a blog. By default, all comments in context (meaning all the comments for that particular entry or in a blog) are returned. If you use it in a blog context, only comments on published entries are returned.

You can view a list of all comment-related template tags for an idea of the flexibility available in publishing comments. And the following attributes will let you custom-tailor the mt:Comments tag to show exactly the the comments you are selecting.

Attributes:

• lastn

  Display the last N comments in context where N is a positive integer. NOTE: lastn is required in a blog context.

• offset (optional; default "0")

  Specifies a number of comments to skip.

• sort_by (optional)

  Specifies a sort column.

• sort_order (optional)

  Specifies the sort order and overrides the General Settings. Recognized values are "ascend" and "descend."

• namespace

  Used in conjunction with the "min*", "max*" attributes to select comments based on a particular scoring mechanism.

• min_score

  If 'namespace' is also specified, filters the comments based on the score within that namespace. This specifies the minimum score to consider the comment for inclusion.

• max_score

  If 'namespace' is also specified, filters the comments based on the score within that namespace. This specifies the maximum score to consider the comment for inclusion.

• min_rank

  If 'namespace' is also specified, filters the comments based on the rank within that namespace. This specifies the minimum rank to consider the comment for inclusion.

• max_rate

  If 'namespace' is also specified, filters the comments based on the rank within that namespace. This specifies the maximum rank to consider the comment for inclusion.

• min_count

  If 'namespace' is also specified, filters the comments based on the count within that namespace. This specifies the minimum count to consider the comment for inclusion.
