Today, I updated the BT Active Discussions to version 1.1.1. If you are using my plugin please update as soon as you can.

The following are changes made since the previous version:

The SQL query is now faster – One thing I noticed about the first version is that it works slowly on my personal finance blog which only has about 3,900 comments. This is unacceptable because it wouldn’t be very functional on bigger blogs. After toiling with the query for about a week, I finally came up with the solution. If you have a lot of comments on your blog, you’ll notice the difference.
Option to remove the credit link – The plugin automatically insert a credit link to the plugin home page at the bottom of the table. I’ve decided to make it easier for you to remove it via a variable in the plugin. However, I would really appreciate it if you can keep the link intact so that others may find and enjoy this plugin.
Installation instruction – Thanks to Alistair of The Urban Fly Fisher, I was able a slight error with the installation instruction. Specifically, it incorrectly tell you to insert the string %%bt-active-discussion%% instead of the correct (I left out the “s”).

As always, if you found this plugin useful. Your donation to this project is greatly appreciated. Please donate via PayPal.

This version looks even better with my theme – the last one did not look quite “right” however this one looks a lot more streamlined.

Thanks again.

Rachelle June 14, 2008 at 11:12 am: Thank-you for a very useful plugin. One question, is there a way to show comments from certain categories only?

Thanks.
Pinyo June 14, 2008 at 9:13 pm: @Rachelle — That’s not part of the plugin at the moment. Good idea though.
Richard June 30, 2008 at 4:12 pm: I like Rachell’s idea about showing selected categories only. Very useful in a private members area. Is there a hack you could share to show comments from selected categories IDs?

TIA
