Blog Comments vBAdvanced CMPS (formatted) Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Add blog comments to your portal !
One of the main problems with the vB blog module is its poor integration with the main forum. This module allows you to show the last 5 blog comments (number is configurable) in a module on your vba portal page. It displays a short version of the comment, the blog title, and the person who commented, with built in links to the commment, user profile and the blog post itself. This was the first and is still the only blog comments module for vBAdvanced Features

Well it took me a while, But I have integrated the suggestions made above.
We now have word limits (better than character limits) for the number of words displayed and we also have the blog entry titles etc as requested. I have also re-written the code to be one file rather than the 2 previously. The variables are also clearer and easier to change. Install time is now less than 5 mins for a noobie |

You have a typo here:
$limit = 5; //replace 5 with the umber of comments Should say: number I will have to update again and give this new version a try. Thanks for the much needed great work! |

I have a mod that picks up new blog entries and puts them into your "new posts". See my signature. Otherwise I need to take a look and put something fresh together, I have some ideas in mind.
