Textpattern plugin : ajw_total_comments

13 June 2005 @ late afternoon | Comments (0)

Summary

Pulled from the ashes of the now-defunct plugin gbl_blog_stats, ajw_total_comments returns the number of comments posted to active articles for an entire site, section, and/or category.

Attributes

section | category

This plugin accepts two optional attributes, which can serve two purposes. Assigning a "#" value (section="#") will flag the plugin to be aware of its contextual surroundings and will output a total comment count based on what section and/or category is currently being viewed.

You may also use this attribute to ask for specific section or category totals, such as section="article" or category="foo". This may come in handy if you have a summary page of your site.

It is also possible to “intersect” section and category values by using both section and category attributes simultaneously.
