Ability to add footer only when comments enabled

Title:
Ability to add footer only when comments enabled

Area:
Crossposting

Summary:
We would have the ability to add a footer only when comments enabled

Description:
At the moment we can automatically add a footer to crossposts in various situations, but "only when comments enabled" is not one.

This would be desirable, as it would be nice to be able to tell people to come to dreamwidth and comment only when they actually can!

Sometime in the reasonable future (really!) I'm going to implement bug 2160 (Allow different crosspost footers for when comments are enabled and disabled). Would that take care of this problem?

I was going to mention this in a comment! (Not the bug specifically, just the different footers idea.)

I'd consider that to be a more useful solution that simply not including the footer when comments are disabled - I want people to be able to click through to the Dreamwidth entry if they want to bookmark something, and I want people to know where the post is coming from.

Sounds perfect.

[kyrielle]

I think this is the ideal solution.

[turlough]

This would be perfect.

I voted for "shouldn't" because this implementation is better.

[mstevens]

I agree and it was my proposal :)

By "with changes" I meant this.

That would cover it! A very good idea!
