Brian, without knowing exactly how your models are configured, you can do
something like this:
{{ p.comment_set.count }}
If you use it in more than one place (e.g., as {% if p.comment_set.count %}
... {{ p.comment_set.count }} ...), you will want to optimize things so that
the SQL "COUNT()" query is executed only once:
{% with p.comment_set.count as comment_count %}
{% if comment_count %} . . . {{ comment_count }} . . . {% endif %}
{% endwith %}
If you have any trouble getting this working, please let us have a look at
your entry and comment models (use dpaste.com) and we can help you figure
out exactly what to write.
