Entry-Specific Comment RSS Feed

Yeah. Just create a new entry listing archive based around an RSS template.

Cool, thanks. Any examples or walk-throughs you can point me to?

I only ask because everything Google returns on the topic is pretty old.

I'm trying to do the same thing as you, provide an RSS feed for comments on each entry. Did you find a way to do this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

I was able to build the RSS Comments template, but I never figured out how to incorporate it into an Entry page so that it creates the appropriate RSS feed link for each Entry.

Here's the template code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="<$MTPublishCharset$>"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" 
      xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="<$MTArchiveLink encode_xml="1"$>" />
  <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="<$MTBlogURL$>atom.xml" />
  <id>tag:<$MTBlogHost exclude_port="1" encode_xml="1"$>,<$MTDate format="%Y"$>:<$MTBlogRelativeURL encode_xml="1"$>/<$MTBlogID$>/<$MTEntryAtomID$>-</id>
  <updated><MTComments lastn="1"><$MTDate utc="1" format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"$></MTComments></updated>
  <title>Comments for <$MTArchiveTitle remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></title>
  <MTIfNonEmpty tag="MTBlogDescription"><subtitle><$MTBlogDescription remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></subtitle></MTIfNonEmpty>

    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="<$MTEntryPermalink encode_xml="1"$>#c<$MTCommentID$>" />
    <title>Comment from <$MTCommentAuthor encode_xml="1"$> on <$MTCommentDate format="%Y-%m-%d"$></title>

    <published><$MTCommentDate utc="1" format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"$></published>
  </entry>
</MTComments>
</feed>

Judging by this thread, I'm assuming there is no single-entry comments feed provided out of the box by Movable Type? I read a few blogs using Movable Type that I'd like to subscribe to entry comments, but I don't know the bloggers well enough to ask that they modify their code for my convenience. On WordPress blogs I can just add "/feed" to the end of the post URL, because WP includes comment feeds without any modification. Is there no equivalent on Moveable Type?
