How to Show comments in discussion page?

Pimochutokyo

In default discussion page, it just show comments.

I want make it show comments count, can you tell me how to edit it?

For example, my discussion page have 10 comments, I want make it show 10 comments at content bottom.

I have edited applications/vanilla/views/discussion/index.php

echo '<h2 class="CommentHeading">';
echo sprintf(
                            pluralTranslate(
                                val('CountAllComments', $category), '%s comment html',
                                '%s comments html',
                                t('%s Reply'),
                                t('%s Reply')
                            ), bigPlural(val('CountAllComments', $category), '%s Reply'));

echo '';

Bottom is old code:

echo '<h2 class="CommentHeading">'
    .$this->data('_CommentsHeader', t('Reply')).'</h2>';

But it was not work.

1. Read about custom themes and how to override a view. Otherwise you will get into troubles one day.
2. Avoid overriding themes by all means, use a plugin instead

And why should it? You were trying to use a variable ($category) that isn't even defined in that context and if I assume would have shown a completely wrong information if it had succeeded.

$category, if defined, holds information about the category. You are looking for information of the discussion. So you must access the discussion.

Create a custom plugin, copy the example and strip out anything you do not need, which is everything between the first open { and the last closing } of the example plugin.
It is important that your copy is in a folder which has the same name as your plugin and use that as the "key" in the addon.json

Add this inside the curly braces:

public function discussionController_beforeCommentHeading_handler($sender, $args) {
    $commentCount =$sender->data('Discussion')->CountComments;
    echo '<h2>'.printf(Plural($commentCount, '%s comment', '%s comments'), $commentCount).'</h2>';
}
