Hi all!

I’m relatively new to EE (started in April) with currently two sites based on this CMS: http://www.zur-alten-post.info (commercial) and http://zickenterror.koberstein.org (personal)

As for the latter of these two, I have implemented the above-mentioned “Recent Comments” function which works fine, but I would like to tweak it a little. Namely so that it shows but one instance of each entry that contains a new comment. So far, the comment titles get repeated with each comment that is listed. That looks a bit silly, i.m.h.o. What I would actually like is a list of the entries that contain the X latest comments instead of a list of the 5 latest comments. (Alternatively, perhaps a list of those X entries that contain any new comments at all.)

Am I making any sense? Is there a way of doing that at all, or would the comments and the entries tags be getting into each other’s way?

Kind regards & thanks for this great CMS! Love it!

Ute

PS: On my personal site, I have also included the respective authors’ names in the recent comments function. It made more sense to me that way.

Just came across this thread while trying to do something similar…

What I would actually like is a list of the entries that contain the X latest comments

Below is a solution that shows a list of the X entries that were most recently commented on—which may be close enough to meet your needs.

Hope that helps,
TL

<ul>

{exp:weblog:entries 
   orderby
="most_recent_comment" 
   
sort="desc" 
   
limit="5" 
   
weblog="YOURWEBLOG" 
   
dynamic="off" 
   
disable="pagination|custom_fields|categories|member_data|trackbacks"}

   
<li>
      <
a href="{title_permalink=YOURTEMPLATEGROUP/YOURTEMPLATE}">{title}</a>
   </
li>

{/exp:weblog:entries}

</ul
