Title: Another comments plug-in Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Another comments plug-in * [rcs1000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcs1000/) * (@rcs1000) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-comments-plug-in/) * Hi, I looked around the various “latest comments” hacks available for WordPress, and found them all a little sparse for my liking. I have written a more decorative one, and it can be seen at [http://testbed.amoral.org](http://testbed.amoral.org)( despite the URL it’s really nothing dodgy; it’s just my dad’s political commentary blog.) Now, I would love to contribute this back to the WordPress community, if they want it! Two questions: (1) Is it a useful enough hack that anyone is interested? (2) If it is, how do I hand the code over?

Can you explain in a little more detail what the code does ? (I can see it, but it’ll need a description if it’s to be distributed) 2. Is it a plugin ? or a Hack ? * Thread Starter [rcs1000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcs1000/) * (@rcs1000) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-comments-plug-in/#post-117781) * I was using WordPress 1.0.1. So, I had no access to plug-ins. I am currently upgrading to 1.2 to turn it into a plug-in rather than a hack. I will post again once I have changed it. Thanks, Robert ps (the upgrade hss, of course, temporarily removed the comment hack – if you still want to see it, it is at [http://www.politicalbetting.com)](http://www.politicalbetting.com)) * Thread Starter [rcs1000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rcs1000/) * (@rcs1000) * [21 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-comments-plug-in/#post-117807) * OK Podz, Details: latest_comments.php is now a plug-in. The plug-in contains a function taking two variables: the number of comments you wish to display and the amount of each comment you wish to show. The function is simple: it runs a query on the wp_comments table, pulls out the data, and formats it. About 40 lines of code. Nothing spectacularly difficult, but I like the effect.

Works great thanks for the plugin! * [mattnaugle2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattnaugle2/) * (@mattnaugle2) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-comments-plug-in/#post-117959) * It works great! * But how do I make the text “break” to the next line if one line is too long? for example, if someone entered in a long url to a newspaper address, i want it to be broken into multiple lines. * [mattnaugle2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattnaugle2/) * (@mattnaugle2) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/another-comments-plug-in/#post-117960) * (Sorry- Double post.)
