I'm using views to display the fields of nodes. I prefer to use fields because it allows me to use relationships (bring in author profile picture etc.). Adding the Content: Comments field shows the list of comments as well as the comment form for each node. However, when hiding and rewriting the result and/or using the replacement pattern for Content: Comments, the comment form disappears.

What methods can I use to display the comment form for each node?

  • well for starters whay not make a custom block and attach it to you view as a footer ... then look at the way core comments form works and build the form into that block ?

  • If I place a custom block into the view's footer, it will only show one block per view. I'm trying to place the comment form as a field per node. There was a module called Views PHP for Drupal 7, which allowed inserting PHP into the rows, however this was considered bad practice.

However, when hiding and rewriting the result/and or using the replacement pattern for Content: Comments, the comment form disappears and only the comment list remains.

It's due to a Views UI bug as I was able to replicate the issue on a fresh install.

A workaround you can do is to do the re-writing via template file rather than via UI.

In your theme's /templates folder add:

views-view-fields--view-name--machine-name.html.twig

and print the view fields there

{{ fields.title.content }} {# title field #}

{{ fields.comment.content }} {# comment field #}

{{ fields.field_name.content }} {# some other field #}

Flush all caches so template gets pickedup.
