How can you list the X most recent comments of a post? Just a subset of the comments list, not all of them.
I've tried calling a thread list using
$comments = $disqus->get_thread(get_post($post_ID),
get_permalink($post_ID), urlencode(get_the_title($post_ID)),
get_the_excerpt($post_ID));
but it returns -1, which means it's an error. I'm not sure if the
parameters are correct though. The functions in the WP plugin seem to
be different from the API in your documentation. I'd prefer to use functions than do database calls. :)
Related question: does the plugin use wp_list_comments() at all? I
read somewhere it overrides comments_template() so using some custom
parameters with the list comments function could solve my problem.
