making comment link point to a different page

“comentspage.php”
Would that not be “commentspage.php” or is this just a typo in your link?

shelleycat: have you tried leaving out ‘true’, or enclosing it with single quotes? (I have no idea whether this would do any good, but it’s all I can think of)
Moose: it’s the name of the file, as you can see if you go to the site ??

Thanks for that — I’ve noted the problem next to the tag in the wiki.

Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed in future versions of WordPress?
There are a few other places similar things are missing. For example php the_content used to have a parameter to direct the ‘more’ link for extended entries to a different page, which no longer works (this is already noted in the wiki). I think the permalink tags also had something smilar. Also I used to use previous and next entry links on my comments page and the link stayed on the same page, but now they default back to the index page.
I can fix all of this by hacking into different places so it’s not a big issue. I’m just wondering if the whole different page functionality will come back at some stage.

Replacing in .htaccess all index.php ocurrences to the new template filename (comentspage.php in shelleycat’s example) works, at least for me, without compromising the number of comments representation.
