Hi,

How do i make a conditional such as if there is no comment posted, there will be a message displayed like

<IF {TOTALCOMMENTS} < 1>
There are no comments at the moment. Be the first to post one!
</IF>
Anyone knows the conditional for this?

That was pretty close, but you should have one < and > per line.
I'm not sure if totalcomments is a field, but if it were it would probably be the total number of comments in your directory, not just the link in question.

Try this

<IF {LINKNUMCOMMENTS} is 0>
There are no comments at the moment. Be the first to post one!
</IF>

or even

<IF {LINKNUMCOMMENTS} is 0>
There are no comments at the moment. Be the first to post one!
<OTHERWISE>
Join the discussion, post a comment!
</IF>

Please read scripts.webmastersite.net/w...onditionals_Syntax-69.html for syntax, and check what's already in the templates for template variables to use (along with the ones listed in the manual).

It would help to know why you're trying those, where you came up with them from, if you've read the manual entry on link template variables, and if you've read mrowton's post.
