This question about Using an extension: Answered
Threaded view returns empty result
I have a problem with the
MetaCommentPlugin displaying nothing in threaded-mode (in standard-mode everything works fine) except the comment count.
I added the comments skin to the preferences und set the preference variable COMMENTSTYLE = threaded. I can add new comments but I get no output. I tracked this down to the reason having no $params->{format} defiened if COMMENTSTYLE == threaded. But I don't find the reason for this. Can anyone help?
To answer the questin by myself: I found the reason in the
MetaCommentPlugin/Core.pm where $params->{format} gets defined defined with "Foswiki::Func::expandTemplate($params->{template})". This expands in normal view to "comments::format::simple" and in threaded view to "comments::format::threaded" which is not defined in templates/metacomments.tmpl. I added this definitions to templates/metacomments.tmpl and now I get output as expected.
Thanks a lot for the great Extension, --

Nico, could you post your updated template here? I want to use a threaded view, but cannot see how to correctly update the metacomments.tmpl correctly. Thanks.
