Comment Plugin just doesn't work

I don’t really need the comment plugin, but I do want to know why it doesn’t work. So. I went to the administrator page, I checked the box for comment plugin and then I added the code to the layout (I use the normal layout and just pasted it there somewhere): `<?php if (Plugins::isEnabled('comment')) { if ($this->comment_status != Comment::NONE) $this->includeSnippet('comment-each'); if ($this->comment_status == Comment::OPEN) $this->includeSnippet('comment-form'); } ?>` The problems start to emerge right off the bat: drop-down box? Really, where? I can’t see that little bad ass on any of my pages. The second problem is that when I enter the peace of code to a certain place on the layout, all the code after it disappears when the page is viewed with a browser. Even if only the ending tag would be after the code. I’m running Frog on my local server and currently I’m using XAMPP to do it. I didn’t try to use the comments on a completely default installation: I had “installed” the “Registered Users” plugin to test it out. There are no error messages. Just ask for more info if needed, but note that I’m not a complete guru with this stuff yet. E: Fak it, wrong “General”. If someone could move this to the right section? :)

FreeBSD 6.4 PHP 5.2.10 Apache 2.0.63 MySQL 5.0.83 Frog 0.9.5 with the following plugins enabled: Archive, Comments, File Manager, Markdown Filter, Page Not Found, Textile filter I’ve set debug to true, but no errors are written. Everything looks fine until I add the comment code to the layout. Everything after this piece of code disappears. I tried setting ‘Use captcha’ to NO as suggested elsewhere, but it didn’t help. Please… We need a fix for this… :-(

So something is not right in the first line. I added the code to Layouts->Normal. I believe that is the correct way?

The frontend works now, but there is still trouble with the backend. The comments tag says (1/1) but no comments are printet. I have isolated the problem to line 51 in frog/plugins/comment/views/index.php: $comments_count = $stmt->fetchColumn(); Everything stops after that line. I tried this: $comments_count = $stmt->fetchColumn(); echo ‘Can you see me’; But nothing is printet.. every thing seems to stop here… Any ideas?

I am missing a few features, like categories and syntax highlighting for code snippets in articles. The reason for me to use a CMS system, is that I want to avoid coding on my own website. And the last thing I need is using time on debugging… So I am going for another CMS… I am sure that Frog will eventually be a very nice CMS system. But at the moment, it does not suite my needs.
