MT is quiet configurable. However, there is one portion where MT's theme configurability seems to choke, the comments. What is different in comments pages is that all other pages are served as static pages. However the comments pages (add, preview, browse) are all dynamically generated by pl scripts.


Hence, any SSI command included in the template of the comment pages, will be not be rendered. Any one has faced this problem before? Any solutions?

Yeah, you're right... you won't be able to use ssi/php in the dynamic templates.  One thing you can do is use an individual template as your comment listing template, then you could for that one, at least.  :)

Try using the MTInclude tag in your Comment Listing and/or Comment Preview template. See

http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtmanual_t...#item_MTInclude

So instead of

you would use


(You might have to tweak the path depending on how your site is configured.)

As the documentation says, MTInclude inserts the specified file when the template is rebuilt—but since the comments listing is rebuilt dynamically every time you view it, in this case it does have the same effect as an SSI.

Thanks! That works just fine.
