# Missing comment function on template

 * Dear WordPresser,
 * I made a second page template. The normal page template works fine. The new on
   is nearly the same, except, that it filters posts from a category and shows the
   content. It’s also doing it’s job as it shall.
 * But the comments function won’t show up in the new page template.
 * Anybody an idea?
 * Thank’s a lot!
 * Here’s the template code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Template Name: Video
        */
   
       get_header(); ?>
   
       <div id="content">
   
           <?php query_posts('cat=5');?>
   
       	<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
                       <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
                       <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   
                       <?php the_content(); ?>
   
                   <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
   
           <?php endwhile; ?>
       </div><!-- #content -->
   
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```

 * try and add:
    `global $withcomments; $withcomments = true;` before: `comments_template('',
   true );`
