Sweet script. Good work.
I tweaked it a little to the output format I wanted.
You can see it here: http://www.orbitjuice.com
Also… I edited the code for multiple and single comments.
i.e.:
Eric left 15 comments
Will left 8 comments
John left 2 comments
Mary left 1 comment

Yea I liked what you did so I changed it to look similar to yours… also made it so that it recognizes single and multiple, comments.also. Thanks
- A number that limits the amount of records that are to be shown. (default’s ‘5’)
- A string that excludes certain names from appearing in the list. Separate multiple names with a comma.
- A string to display before the record.
- A string to display between the record. (default “-“)
- A string to display after the record. (default is a line break ‘
‘)
Example
<?php get_comment_leaders( 10, “admin_name, spammer_name”, ‘
Here is mine. It’s a little different. It changes on the output.
if ($author_comment_count != 1) {
echo “$before$comment_author_link – $author_comment_count comments$after”;
} else {
echo “$before$comment_author_link – $author_comment_count comment$after”; }
Thanks for this…another thing to play with. 😉
I love this hack. I would like to make som modifications to it, but I’m unsure how. I’d like my output to look like this:
Jess – 184 total
last commented: (date of last comment)
on entry: (entry title last commented on w/link to entry)
Is there a way to do this?
The portion of the function that figures the last comment by an author doesn’t work. I was going to try to fix the query, but it’s not an easy one.
Yeah I was having the same problem too. With the “Last” section.
MtDew, do you write all the hacks around here? 😉 Or just know everything? ‘Cuz you are all over the board helping everyone. What a guy! =)
Thanks for all your help!
I just try to help out as much as I can. 🙂

Daisyhead yes you can i’ll post how to do it in a sec when I figure out whats going on….. MtDewVirus, What exactly isn’t working correctly? I don’t see the problem that you are talking about.
The query doesn’t exactly pull the ID and comment_ID for the last comment by a visitor. At least not from my testing of it. The GROUP BY messes this up. I ran into a similar problem with a hack I wrote and was able to fix it by callin for MAX(comment_ID), but then how do you get the correct ID? You can’t pull the MAX(ID) because the latest post commented on by a visitor may not be their latest comment. See what I mean?
I was running the query through phpMyAdmin, trying to get the correct results but so far have been unable to.
You guys are great! I can live without the last date commented. I don’t mean to be such a pest. Maybe I just need to tweak my output so it will say:
Jess – 184 total
last on entry: (entry title last commented on w/link to entry)
Is there a way to change that?
Hey Daisyhead
Does the “Last” at the end of your comments leader actually works? and bring up the latest comment by that user?
