Hmm… not sure about that one. Was there a problem with having post and comment on the same page?
You might try adding something like ?only_comments=true to the end of the link, and then in your single.php, checking for this using:
<?php if ("true" == $_GET['only_comments']) : ?>
<!-- don't show posts -->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- Do show posts! -->
<?php endif; ?>

Brilliant, that’s what I had in my head, but I wasn’t sure about the coding! I’ll give it a go..

OK. I’m a bit stuck..
The URL i end up with is: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/2006/this-is-a-test/?only_comments=true
But I’m getting a 500 server error.. What am I doing wrong?
Oh, you have funny permalinks 🙁
If the permalinks have index.php in them, I think things are a bit more difficult…
You’re on a Windows server, right?

I’ve got it not not server errroring with 500 now. I’m going to have a play, will post back later if I get a result.
OK try this:
stick /comments-only/ to the end of the link, and then in your PHP put this:
<?php if ( strpos ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "comments-only") : ?>
<!-- don't show posts -->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- Do show posts! -->
<?php endif; ?>
But be warned, that will match any URL containing the string “comments-only”. Also, I’m not sure that it won’t throw a 404 Not Found :S

What I’ve done is modified my permalink to:
http://www.mysite.com/?p=32?comments=true
But it only seems to display the comments and never do they bit if comments != true

Hey again. I got one working, just wanted to try out your other method:
<?php if ( strpos ($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], “comments-only”) : ?>
<!– don’t show posts –>
<?php else : ?>
<!– Do show posts! –>
<?php endif; ?>
When I use this, either way it displays nothing, source-code is empty in the browser.. Any ideas?
I’m afraid I don’t… How are you using the code, exactly.
If there is lots of code, pastebin is probably the best idea 😀

I’ve basically just set out a demo like below:
<?php if ( strpos ($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], “comments-only”) : ?>
<!– don’t show posts –>
<h1>not showing posts</h1>
<?php else : ?>
<!– Do show posts! –>
<h1>ooo a post</h1>
<?php endif; ?>
And in the url it goes:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php/test-post-here/comments-only/
It’s possible that the comments-only bit (and everything after the index.php, actually) isn’t condsidered part of the Request URL. Try doing this to see what actually is:
<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>
Hmm, I just tried that and it is considered part of the request URL. It looks like it might conflict with wordpress, then. WordPress might be trying to deal with this comments-only thing it finds, but can’t, but I’m not sure.
Post the contents of your page.php file to pastebin.com, and then give me the link to it, I’ll take a look to see if there’s anything specifically that’s going on.
