Recent Comments
Hi I’ve just tried the recent_comments tag, but I want it to display the comments in this fashion, for each individual comment.
<div class="home-comments-comment">
<div class="home-comments-gravatar"><a href="" title="Lorem ipsum, Jun 29">GRAVATAR</a></div>
<p><strong>Mr. Textpattern</strong> <span class="small">/ Jun 29</span><br />
on <a href="" title="Lorem ipsum, Jun 29">Lorem ipsum</a></p>
</div>To clarify what I mean, I’m wanting to display 5 comments on my homepage, and have each comment displayed in the above structure, but I’m not sure how to do this, using Txp template tags. x

Re: Recent Comments
The only problem i see with your code is that it needs a foreslash before images
ie. <img src="/images/gravatar.png" />

Re: Recent Comments
glx_gravatar should be of help.
Also check out all the comment tags in the textbook
<div class="home-comments-comment">
<div class="home-comments-gravatar"><a href="<txp:comment_web />"><txp:glx_gravatar /></a></div>
<p><strong><txp:comment_name /></strong> <span class="small"><txp:comment_time /></span><br />not sure what you want to show with the next code…
on <a href="" title="Lorem ipsum, Jun 29">Lorem ipsum</a></p>
</div>Yiannis

I don’t know it myself, but would this plugin do what you want?

this seems like a possible fix, problem is how do i use it? their is no help file! Do i just use form=”“ with the standard tag or does it use its own :S
EDIT: I’ve figured it out! you just add form=”“ to the standard tag and it overwrites everything. No idea why this isn’t in Textpattern by default :S

Probably because there is a plugin that does it ;) Stop asking yourself why things are not in TXP by default, not everyone needs the same features and there are usually plugins to help you out :)

Hmm I wouldn’t really call the ability to use a form with the recent_comments tag a feature, it seems something your almost gonna want to do, the whole point of Txp is that you can fully control your content, the recent_comments tag is very limiting, a simple use this form attribute should be part of the core!
