Show number of comments in link title?

[Birming]

I'm trying to show the number of comments (the "X comments..." part) in this custom code:

//* Permalink excerpts for the 'Citat' category and tags archive
add_filter( 'genesis_entry_content' , 'quotes_excerpt_prefix', 1 );
function quotes_excerpt_prefix() {
	if ( is_category( 8 ) || is_tag() )
		printf( '<h2><a href="%s" title="X comments for this post">', get_permalink(), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );
}
add_filter( 'genesis_entry_content' , 'quotes_excerpt_suffix', 11 );
function quotes_excerpt_suffix() {
	if ( is_category( 8 ) || is_tag() )
		printf( '</a></h2>' );
}

Anyone who can help me accomplish that? Thanks in advance!

I'm no master at code, but I do believe that the Genesis Simple Edits plugin will perform this task if you add the [post_comments] shortcode to the "Entry Meta" section(s) where you want the number of comments to appear. I hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply! I tried something like that before, but couldn't get it to work.

Hey Birming,
get_comments_number( $post_id ); will give the no. of comments the post has. You can read more about it on http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_comments_number.
