    Check if blog post comments are enabled on HubSpot using HubL

    Difficulty Level: Intermediate. This post assumes a solid understanding of HubSpot tools and some technical knowledge. Instructions are detailed and can be applied as they appear on the post.

    Sometimes you may want to use a snippet to check if the blog comments have been enabled to display a particular snippet of code in your HubSpot blog template. 

    I wasn't able to find anything specific in the documentation but have found the following condition to work:

    {% raw %}{% if content_group.allow_comments %}
      {# Your code here #}
    {% endif %}

    You can use this in a coded template, a custom module or in the Wrapping HTML section in a Module group in your blog template, like this: 

    Wrapping HTML - If comments are enabled

    In the above case I found it useful so that the padding from my page-center and content-wrapper classes won't add extra whitespace if comments are disabled.

    I found this by using the Developer Info viewer (see below) - you can use dot notation to find the values of any of the information that appears there.
