Adding Comments to Custom Node Template File Is there a way to add comments/comment form to a custom template file without having to install the Panels module? I had initially thought I could do it through a php script on the page, but have yet to find an answer.

I'm stuck, but all I need is for it to be at the bottom of my custom template file, which is for a custom content type. Thanks!
You may want to take the sample node template file and update as per your requirement. Here is the code which renders the comments section of the node template file.

&lt;?php print render($content['comments']); ?&gt;
