Hi, I am looking for the variable that will give me the # of comments of a certain post and the variable for the date of post.

I am going to use it for BUMPzee:

<script>
var bz_url='<$MTEntryPermalink$>';
var bz_num_comments=<$MTEntryCommentCount$>;
var bz_comment_date='<$MTCommentDate utc="1" format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"$>';
</script>
<script src="http://api.bumpzee.com/bumpwidgetjs.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

I already have the permalink and working fine as:

var bz_url=escape('<?php $Item->permanent_url() ?>');

Still looking for the comment count and comment date... hoping someone knows it...

thanks!
