   Hi,
   I plan to create a web site for my game mod team, but I don't want a forum. I plan to have a sub page structure, so eg.
   -Projects
   --For Age of Empires 3
   ---The Adventures of Captain Columbus project
   ---The Lord of the Rings mod
   etc

   I want people to comment on these pages rather than in a forum and so I figured a sitemap would be best suited to be used instead of the forum structure.

   Now all I want to know is how do I get the number of comments to show up next to each page?
   eg.
   ---The Lord of the Rings mod (24 comments)

   The same way you'd do it inside a normal loop.
   Assuming you're inside a loop of posts...

   <?php comments_popup_link('No comments', '1 Comment;', '% Comments');?>

   Would display, No comments, 1 comment, or X comments, where X is a number...

   You could just have the number....
   <?php comments_popup_link('0', '1;', '%');?>

   Unless i'm having a blonde moment, i think it's that easy.... :)

   I'd like the number of comments to show up on an external page though. Ie. A site map page where each page link has its number of comments displayed next to it.

   Why don't you use a Wordpress page/post for the sitemap?

   Rather then having an external page and having to hook into Wordpress.

   Sorry - by external page, I meant external from the individual pages that I want comment counts from. So yes I want the 'external page' to be a wordpress post/page.
