Hi Bob,

Can you please show us how the variable "node" is set?

Thanks,

Jeavon

I'm going to take a guess that it is the blog post itself, then you need to go one level deeper to get the comments as they are stored in a container node of type "uBlogsyContainerComment", something like this:

@{
    var ccount = node.Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias == @0", "uBlogsyContainerComment").FirstOrDefault().Children.Where("NodeTypeAlias == @0", "uCommentsyComment").Count(); 
}
@Html.Raw(ccount + " comment")

You could also use Descendants, but this can have some performance issues if you have a lot of node.

This would be like:

@{
    var ccount = node.Descendants.Where("NodeTypeAlias == @0", "uCommentsyComment").Count(); 
}
@Html.Raw(ccount + " comment")

Hi Jeavon,

I tried the following but it didnt work

   @{ var ccount = node.Children().Where("NodeTypeAlias == uCommentsyComment").Count();
            }
                @Html.Raw(ccount + " comment")

I know you mentioned the performance hit but as I dont see them creating too many post this works fine based on your second post -

   @{ var ccount = node.Descendants("uCommentsyComment").Count();
            }
                @Html.Raw(ccount + " comment")

Much appreciated!

Hi Bob,

Great, I think Descendants will be fine. Did you try my first suggestion as well, I'm pretty sure it works also?
