Hi,

Apologies if I'm posting this to the wrong place, please feel free to move it to another category.

I've managed to use commenting in a custom layout (built with template overrides) for the category blog and the featured blog layouts. I'm using "afterDisplayContent" to show number of comments with the "Read More link". It works very well, good work on this extension.

Now I hope to get the same functionality (show comments next to "Read More" link) for search results (Joomla built-in com_search) and FJ Related (com_fjrelated). I've built custom layouts for both of these also, using template overrides, to make the layout the same as the above blog layouts.

Can you advise the best way to get number of comments to show in search results (and in FJ Related blog) next to the "Read More"? Do I need to create a plugin for each component, or maybe plugins already exist for these?

I'm an experienced programmer, so please feel free to go into detail.

Thanks in advance

Geoff.
