Sidebar Comments

Categories: Widget Plugins, 2.x & above, Downloadable Plugin

This plugin is no longer necessary for most users because similar functionality has been integrated into b2evolution's core. To add a list of comments to your sidebar, go to Blog Settings > Widgets > Add Widget and click on Comment List.

This plugin adds a widget that displays a list of recent comments in your sidebar.

Very neat! Maybe you could add some spans around the different parts of the comments, so it’s easier to change the apperance with css. :)

However, this plugin has the same problem as real tagcloud: if a blog is configured to show posts from multiple blogs, the plugin won’t fetch comments from all these blogs. This is very limiting for my system. :(

Bah! Just ignore the last part of my comment: I was wrong and figured out the problem as soon as I’d posted the comment. I’m stupid. :)

Great plugin!

Dang mac users! Is it okay to delete the folder called __MACOSX in the root plugin folder and .DS_Store file in the “sidebarcomments_plugin” folder?

(I’m pretty sure it is, and it’s nice to see this feature again, but I figured I’d ask to make sure.)

Wille,
I added the spans.

EdB,
Sorry, I forget that inferior operating systems don’t know how to hide files that start with a period ;) I removed the DS_STORE and updated the zip.

Hello, I like the plugin and it works fine, but I have a wish:

is it possible, that the “the title of the post” in the sidebar, is a permalink to the comment on that post ? not to the post itself?? ore maybe better the name of the person who give the comment is the link to the comment in the post??

seems to me much better, if there are more comments than only 3 ore 4..

(sorry for my english, I do my best ;-) )
