A List of Recent Comments


rr_recent_comments() returns a list of recent comments.

When invoked with no parameters, it returns a list of the latest comment from each of the most recent 5 posts. Only one comment (the most recent one) per post is listed.

By default, any comments made by the author of the post are not included in the list. (This behaviour can be configurably modified.) Long post titles are truncated to a length which you can configure. Trackbacks and pingbacks are not included in the list by default.

You can exlcude certain posters, based on various criteria (author email, author name, etc.). This is helpful, for example, to exclude yourself from the list.

To see it in action, look at my sidebar, here.

(Verified to work with WP 1.5.2, 2.0 and 2.0.1)
