Description:
Retrieve the last N people who have most recently commented. Note this is different than saying “the people who made the N most recent comments.”

Notes:

This plugin outputs a list of the N most recently commenting authors (with hyperlinks to their homepage if they provided an URL). You can define $before and $after text/HTML to bookend each list item. Specify $num_people to control how many people to list.

  • Can be used inside or outside “the loop”
Installation:
Install the Top/Recent Comments plugin insead.
Functions:
[I’ve defined the $num_posts arg as 2 for all of the examples in order to limit the amount of sample output.]

get_recent_commenters($num_people = 5, $before='<li>', $after='</li>')

  • $num_people : The number of recent commenters to be returned; default is 5
  • $before: The text to display before each recent commenter.
  • $after: The text/HTML to display after each recent commenter.
Tips & Examples:

Example:

<ul> <?php get_recent_commenters(3); ?> </ul>

Outputs:

<ul> <li><a href="http://www.joebob.org">Joe Bob</a></li> <li>No Homepage Guy</li> <li><a href="http://www.suzy.org">Suzy</a></li> </ul>

Example:

Recent love from: <?php get_recent_commenters(3, '', ','); ?>

Outputs:

Recent love from: <a href="http://www.joebob.org">Joe Bob</a>, No Homepage Guy, <a href="http://www.suzy.org">Suzy</a>,
