I ran across an interesting way of showing recently commented posts that you might be interested in. It’s a non-WP blog, but it displays information similar to what you can show with c2c_get_recently_commented. The interesting difference to me is what is put in the ‘title’ field for the link – which then shows as a ‘tooltip’ when a user hovers. Your version says ‘View comment by (author)’ but their version shows an excerpt of the comment itself. Interesting! The site is here: http://arborupdate.com/ and it’s the green ‘New Comments’ column.

Anyway, just thought it might make an interesting option for some future version of CPL. Thanks again for your hard work!

This plugin is such a godsend for quickly adapting wordpress into almost any kind of CMS. I really hope you keep updating this as you have been. That’s always a concern when so much of a site’s functionality can begin to rely on such incredibly useful plugins… but I’m sure you know that already!

There’s only one thing I would add to the wishlist if I could. I’d love to be able to show the comments enabled/disabled status of a post (perhaps with customisable text).

I’m toying with the idea of using your plugin to display posts in a category as trouble tickets, and I’d like to use wordpress’ option to turn off comments as a way of closing tickets – so it would be great if the status could be displayed as Open/Closed or whatever.

Cheers for your great work.

Because I’m a complete newbie in programming, I just copy some syntax you posted on the plugin homepage. However the results for random post function are not as given. When I used:

if (function_exists(’c2c_get_random_posts’)) { c2c_get_random_posts(3, “%post_date%: %post_URL% by: %post_author_posts%%post_excerpt%”, “151 152″); }

date, URL and author seem correctly displayed, but all of the three excerpts are similar. This problem is worsened as these three excerpts are not taken from one of the three displayed titles but always from my latest (most recent) post. Is my code incorrect? Thanks

I’ve managed to figure out things, and it’s an awesome plugin! Once it works on my site, I plan to send a little donation love your way.

Thanks again!
