I am working on a site which uses a state machine where early states of a node do not allow comments to be added (therefore default for the type has comments disabled). But once the date on the node has passed, i enable comments for that node (via cron).

This all works fine but i am now just realizing that i don't think i can do a views filter on whether comments are enabled or not. I guess i can do a psuedo admin field on the node that also gets set when i set the comment field and then filter on that value.. but would be handy if i could just filter on the setting.

ALSO - this brings up another more general idea... shouldn't views allow me to define my own PHP filter. But i'll rais another issue on this.

It didn't occur to me to put a filter for this into Views 2. I guess it could be valuable information.
