 * Hi,
 * Is there away of getting the comments_template(); function to only show when 
   $page[‘comments’] is used? When I do $page[‘comments’] = comments_template();
   it still shows the comments template, but not in the place I want it to.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Many thanks!

 * Ideally I would like to use get_comments_template(); but that’s not possible!

 * try
 * ob_start();
    comments_template(); $page[‘comments’] = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
 * then
    print_r($page[‘comments’]) in any place. 😉
