If you try it on 2.6.2, please let us know what you find. Thanks!

(NOT in list form)

I’m glad to be one of your “see it live” examples. I appreciate the linkage, and I’m glad to serve as an example of your work, but unfortunately my web address is changing so to avoid a dead link in your post just switch the .com to a .net

Cheers and thanks again for your effort in making such a useful little tool.

if enough people request this feature, i’ll add it to the next release.

thanks!

This’s great plugin and i use it, but unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t support the comment date so can you adding that feature?

Thanks

[Ed. Note: Mannie, if you followed the instructions posted here, everything should have worked as expected; hundreds of people have successfully installed and used the plug-in. Naturally, it's possible that there's a bug, but I can't help track it down without more information from you. Thanks.]

i’ll look at it for the next release.

thanks for the idea!

Is there a way to at most show only one comment from any individual commentator? I don’t want to give people incentive to comment on multiple posts just so their names, and no one else’s, appear in the recent comments list.

Thanks for the help!

However, no comments are being listed.
Any suggestions as to why it isn’t working for me?

Thanks
Mark

no worries about including your site in your initial comment–it made sense that you did. (but who couldn’t use a little more google juice? i know i could! )

and i’m pretty sure (but not 100% certain) that akismet does look at the commenter’s url when deciding whether a comment is spam.

happy blogging!

Thanks for the very quick response. The reason I posted my website address was practical — so that in case I wasn’t being clear you could take a look at what I was talking about. I absolutely don’t need to seek out more Google juice! I wasn’t aware that akismet (which I already use) would do anything about people posting spammy links in the website field of the comments form.

All the best,

i’ve just updated the plugin to include an option that does what you’re asking: it suppresses hyperlinking to commenters’ websites. please check out version 0.5 and let me know if that does the trick for you.

also, shame on you for not wanting to link to your commenters’ websites. i see that you entered your website url when you left the above comment, and i happily link to it in return for your taking the time to contribute to my blog. (if you’re concerned about spammers, i’d suggest akismet or spamkarma.)

i love it! i’ll include it in the next release, as a configurable option.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say that your plugin is great; I’ve always used it on my blog.

I’ve edited your source code a bit - primarily to change the formatting, but I added a feature -

I’ve appended “#comment-XXX” to the URL your plugin generates so that the clicked link goes right to the published comment.

See it in action at http://www.thedailyblitz.org

Maybe something worth including in a future release? It was quite easy to implement.

after long searches I stumbled across your sweet and simple plugin, which I am using now. Thanks for rolling it up

i want to see the “intial text of the comment” + “title of post”

titel of post is possible. ok.

but “intial text of the comment” ? it is possible?

a comment timestamp shouldn’t be hard; i’ll add it in a future version.

(the hardest part will probably be making the date/time format easily configurable.)

Is there anyway to display the time/date of when the comment was published?

Many thanks for your help, and keep up the great work.

i’ll also add an option to go directly to the comment that triggered the entry in the recent-love list.

thanks!

I actually found a fix for this, by adding (#respond) to the permalink in the code. This makes the link not only go to the post, but it scrolls down to the comments box, near where the last comment was placed.

Is this OK to tweak?

BTW: I love this plugin, because it omits by own comments, as I often reply to my readers this way. That’s why I prefer this plugin, but since I already have recent posts list above that, it seemed senseless for me to display more link direct to the same posts.

Thanks!

thanks for the idea. i’ll email you and update this thread when the next version is ready. (probably not til next year–so don’t hold your breath or you might die. )

to apply the fix manually to 0.3, just change line 223 of rr_recent_love.php from

$post_title = htmlspecialchars(substr($post_title, $max_title_length)) . '…';

to

$post_title = htmlspecialchars(substr($post_title, 0, $max_title_length)) . '…';

(i’ll look for it in your sidebar soon. )
