Plone.app.discussion form in custom view template with subpath traversal

Plone Support Add-on Development

Hi,

I have a Plone 4.3 installation with a Dexterity content-type using a custom view. Discussion-allowed is enabled and the discussion form is shown at the bottom (below content) of the page with the custom view when I call the view without subpath information inside the URL.

Now my view uses subpath traversal for addressing an item in an external storage (eXist-db), something like

/plone/path/to/connector/myview/path/in/existdb

So the 'context' and the 'view' remain the same as with the default

/plone/path/to/connector/myview

URL however the discussion form does no longer appear as soon as I use a subpath in the URL.

Any idea why?

The comments viewlet is registered for IViewView, which is only applied
to the view automatically if the URL is the context's absolute_url (i.e.
if it's the default view of the context). You can probably explicitly
declare implements(IViewView) on your view to make the comments always
appear for it.
