In reply to: Comment Leader HackI love this hack. I would like to make som modifications to it, but I’m unsure how. I’d like my output to look like this:
Jess – 184 total
last commented: (date of last comment)
on entry: (entry title last commented on w/link to entry)
Is there a way to do this?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent comments w/ portion of commentAh. Okay. Now I am starting to get the hang of some of this. Can anyone suggest any good reads that would help me learn more about PHP and how it works? I know the very basics, but would love to learn more.
And thanks MtDew! You have been a life-saver!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent comments w/ portion of commentUgh. And by adding it to the SELECT query, this is something I need to do within the database? I’m sorry, I feel so stupid. I’m just so new at SQL.

In reply to: Recent comments w/ portion of commentI’m placing it under this line:
foreach ($comments as $comment)
This is what the whole thing looks like:
function get_recent_comments($no_comments = 6, $comment_lenth = 10, $before = ”, $after = ‘
‘) {
global $wpdb, $tablecomments, $tableposts;
$comments = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, comment_ID, comment_content, comment_author FROM $tableposts, $tablecomments WHERE $tableposts.ID=$tablecomments.comment_post_ID ORDER BY $tablecomments.comment_date DESC LIMIT $no_comments”);
$output = ”;
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$comment_author = stripslashes($comment->comment_author);
$comment_author_url = stripslashes($comment->comment_author_url);
$comment_content = strip_tags($comment->comment_content);
$comment_content = stripslashes($comment_content);
$words=split(” “,$comment_content);
$comment_excerpt = join(” “,array_slice($words,0,$comment_lenth));
$permalink = get_permalink($comment->ID).”#comment-“.$comment->comment_ID;
$output .= $before . ‘‘ . $comment_author . ‘: ‘ . $comment_excerpt . ‘…
$output .= ‘” title=”View the entire comment by ‘ . $comment_author . ‘”>’ . (read) . ‘‘ . $after;
}
echo $output;Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent comments w/ portion of commentI am trying to make one last tweak to this hack. I want the comment author link to show up, linked to the comment author’s name and then the excerpt of the comment to follow. I’ve added the following line:
$comment_author_url = stripslashes($comment->comment_author_url);
And for my output I have:
$output .= $before . ‘‘ . $comment_author . ‘: ‘ . $comment_excerpt.’…
$output .= ‘” title=”View the entire comment by ‘ . $comment_author.'”>’ . (read).’‘ . $after;
And while a link is showing up, it’s not the link to the comment author’s page. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks,

In reply to: WordPress Blogs StatsI must be dense because I can’t get it to work. I’ve uploaded the file “wp-stats.php” to my folder but don’t I need to call it in my template?
Thanks,

In reply to: Recent comments w/ portion of commentCan anyone help a novice like myself tweak the output of this. I’d like a little exerpt of the comment followed by 3 elipses and then “(g0)” linked with the link for the entry. Unfortunately I’m still learning PHP so I have no clue how to tweak it so my output looks different.
Thanks,
