I have a page made up of a number of nodes, one of which is a Basic Page with comments enabled (open).
If I display the node directly I get what I would expect - i.e. anonymous users see 'login or register to post comments' plus any previously posted comments, and authenticated users see previous comments plus the box for submitting comments.
However, if this node is included as part of the content of a Page, authenticated users see 'login or register to post comments' and no previously posted comments, and authenticated users see nothing!
If this is what is intended? If so, why? (I would prefer it to behave the same as it would for an isolated node!)
Can the behaviour be changed by settings in the Page module? if so, what and where?
or is it a bug? if so, is there a fix for it?

how are you "making a page with a number of nodes"?
Please explain how this is being programmed.

I created various nodes from the standard 'Article' and 'Basic Page' content types plus a 'poll' content type. Then, having installed the Panels module I created a 'Page' ( structure > Pages > Add Custom Page) Then, having set up the layout to one column I then added content (content tab) selecting 'existing node' entering the node number of the predefined node.
When I displayed the page using the url I gave in the 'basic' tab, the comments field of the 'article' was displayed just as a link as described above, whereas displaying the 'article' using the node number of the article in the url the comment field was visible on the screen.

I edited the 'Page' removing all content except the article. Consequently I would have expected displaying the article by typing the url of the page would have looked identical to displaying it by typing the url of the article node, but as you can see from my earlier post it didn't.

I hope this gives you the information you need to answer my query. If not, please ask again

Project: Drupal core » Panels
Version: 7.12 » 7.x-3.2
Component: page.module » User interface
Priority: Major » Normal

Ok, so you are using the panels module, this is not a "core" issue. Therefore I'm moving this to the panels issue queue.
Please update the "version" of panels that you are using. I provisionally set it to v3.2.

I dont use panels myself, but now that the issue has been moved to the correct project, with a bit of luck the panels users can help you.

Sorry! My mistake! I have updated the 'version' to 7.x-3.0, the version of 'Panels' I am currently using.

I have a similar issue. My panel comprises a content node plus two page views based on taxonomy tags. Comments work fine when the panel is disabled, but as soon as I make it part of a Panel page then the comments option disappears from the page.

The Panel page works fine except for the missing Comments option!

Did anyone work out what the problem is/was, and how it could be fixed?
