CakePHP: comments plugin help

Question

Hi

I'm trying to implement the cakephp comments plugin found here: http://cakedc.com/downloads/view/cakephp_comments_plugin

I have a projects_controller which I want to add comments to.

Everything has gone fine whilst following the instruction I can add comments and they are saved in the comments table but they are not displaying on the project view.

I assumed it was because there was no association between project and comments so I have created a belongTo and a hasMany associations between them but still to no avail :(

<div id="post-comments">
    <?php $commentWidget->options(array('allowAnonymousComment' => false));?>
    <?php echo $commentWidget->display();?>
</div>

This displays the add comments inputs and it DOES save comments and all the neccessary foreign keys, etc but it just doesn't display them

Anyone know what's gone wrong?

For some reason I thought the comments plugin actually displayed the comments as well. turns out it doesn't so I just added them myself
