@Isaac — Thank you. There’s no easy way to do it, I’m afraid. I’d have to play around with the query and see what I can come up with.

Hi, Pinyo. I love the plugin, it works great. I have a quick question, though.

I’m setting up my blog to work essentially like a discussion forum, and not just have comments to be another feature. To achieve this, I’d really like the Active Discussions box be able to display all posts, even ones that don’t have comments on them, so that people will see them and get discussions started. How can I do this?

Thanks!

ummm…. it’s me again…

i’m check the code and you’re taking the right field. I’m going to fix my issue changing my sql code to take the comment_date field.

@Dani – Based on your comment, I made the change. I think it should be fixed now. You should see the new version 1.1.3 on the repository shortly.

Thank you!

Hmm… I didn’t even realize there’s time issue. Did you check the comment time (on the comment form) against the one show on my plug-in? They should be the same (in theory).

I will have to take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up.

Any idea what that code might look like? I’m not very good with code and I’ve only tried a couple simple php lines that didn’t work.

@Mike — Yes, it could be done. Sorry for the delayed answer. You should be able to modify the plugin and copy the code directly into your wordpress theme index.php and wrap it around an IF statement.

Any way that this could be inserted into a template? I’m looking to add it to my homepage but I can’t quite get the code right.

@Jane – I noticed some file path problem after looking at your install. There should be a version 1.1.2 out to fix this.

Regarding the CSS file, these are the two you may want to adjust:

#recenttable thead th {background-color:#888;color:#FFF;}
#recenttable .row-1 {background-color:#E0E0E0;}

The first one basically contain table heading background (888 = dark gray) and text color (FFF = white)

The second one is the alternating line color which is currently set to light gray.

Nice site, btw.
