Greetings,

Is it possible to render a comment form in a view? I have not been able to find anything that works, yet it seems pretty basic. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi,

You can add the below code to views custom template:

<?php $data_to_render = drupal_get_form("comment_node_{$node->type}_form", (object) array('nid' => $node->nid)); ?>
<?php print drupal_render($data_to_render);?>

Hi,

You need to load the node before:
<?php $node = node_load(arg(1));?>

Where arg(1) is the node id in the url:
example.com/node/1 (if you are trying to print the form in a node's page)

I see. But the problem is there are many nodes. For example, a product page and each one has a comment form like standard drupal page. so the node id will change per page. is there a variable that can be used instead of a fixed node id?

arg(1) will get the node id from the url, it is not static.
