How can I show comments on nodes displayed in a view? I've got a content type with comments enabled for each node, and I've created a view that will just display all nodes of this type.

I'd like it for users to be able to add and view comments in this view. Currently, one solution is to set
Row Style: Nodes, which gives me the full node and the comments; however I want to be able to tweak and control what is displayed on the node (such as shorten the date format, remove some fields).

The other alternative I've tried is to set Row Style: Field, which gives me control on what fields to display, but I can't see any way of getting comment functionality to appear.

What's the best way to address this problem?
My suggestion is that you use the 'node' display, but make changes to your node.tpl.php file in your theme. This will give you the results that you want, but it obviously won't be very point-and-click.
