I couldn’t seem to find a plugin with both functionality so I created mine(not a plugin) thru the help of my old friend google. My code works but there’s a small glitch, the title of the posts are the same for all recent comments.
$comments = get_comments('status=approve&number=5'); ?>
<ul> <?php
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$post_obj = get_post($comment->post_id);
$title = $post_obj->post_title; ?>
<li><?php
echo get_avatar( $comment, '42' );
echo strip_tags($comment->comment_author); ?> <?php
echo wp_html_excerpt( $comment->comment_content, 35 ); ?><br />
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($comment->post_id); ?>" rel="external nofollow" title="<?php echo $title; ?>"> <?php echo $title; ?> </a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
UPDATE:
Here’s the current code. Edited according to Ambitious Amoeba.
$comments = get_comments('status=approve&number=5'); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>
<li><?php
$title = get_the_title($comment->post_ID);
echo get_avatar( $comment, '42' );
echo strip_tags($comment->comment_author);
?> <?php
echo wp_html_excerpt( $comment->comment_content, 35 ); ?>
<br /><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($comment->post_ID); ?>" rel="external nofollow" title="<?php echo $title; ?>"> <?php echo $title; ?> </a>
</li>
<?php } ?>
Still getting the same result. All with the same title. Though it changes the post title according what is currently viewed.
Use
$comment->comment_post_IDinstead of$comment->post_id.Also you don’t need get_post(…). Just use get_the_title instead of your
$post_objand related code…Do you have
wp_reset_query(); at the bottom of your single post/page? I’m assuming that the previous query is flowing over into your widget query and that the reset mentioned above is missing from the single template.Cheers
