Textpattern plugin : ajw_top_commenter

12 June 2005 @ early morning | Comments (2)

Summary

Pulled from the ashes of the now-defunct plugin gbl_blog_stats, ajw_top_commenter allows for you to output a list of your website’s most active commenters.

Attributes

break

Standard break attribute (default: br)

wraptag

Standard wraptag attribute (default: p)

limit

Standard limit attribute (default: 10)

link

Whether or not to link the commenter author’s name to their web address (default: 0)

nofollow

If linking comment author’s name, whether or not to use a rel="nofollow" attribute (default: 1)

groupby

What value to check to verify an author’s identity. Accepts any combination of “email,web,name” – for example “email” or “email,name” or “web”. The best choice is checking against email, since some users don’t have web addresses and many users use the same email for commenting. (default: email)

format

This attribute allows you to choose how the number and name are output. This attribute follows the formatting rules set by PHP’s sprintf function, using ”%s” to represent each value. For example, format="%s has written %s comments" will output “Bob has left 20 comments”. Something like format="%s (%s)" will output “Bob (20)”.

What if you want to reverse the values and have the number appear before the name? The syntax changes slightly: format="%2$s (%1$s)" yields “20 (Bob)”. (default: %s has written %s comments)

emptymsg

This is simply the default text that is output if there are no comments on the site whatsoever. (default: No comments yet)
