    2. A string that excludes certain names from appearing in the list. Separate multiple names with a comma.
    3. A number: pads the visitor’s total comment count with zeros.
    4. A string to display before the record.
    5. A string to display after the record. (default is a line break ‘
      ‘)

      6. Example

  • Sweet script. Good work.
    I tweaked it a little to the output format I wanted.
    You can see it here: https://www.orbitjuice.com

    Also… I edited the code for multiple and single comments.
    i.e.:
    Eric left 15 comments
    Will left 8 comments
    John left 2 comments
    Mary left 1 comment

    Yea I liked what you did so I changed it to look similar to yours… also made it so that it recognizes single and multiple, comments.also. Thanks

    1. A number that limits the amount of records that are to be shown. (default’s ‘5’)
    2. A string that excludes certain names from appearing in the list. Separate multiple names with a comma.
    3. A string to display before the record.
    4. A string to display between the record. (default “-“)
    5. A string to display after the record. (default is a line break ‘
      ‘)

    Example
    <?php get_comment_leaders( 10, “admin_name, spammer_name”, ‘

    • ‘, ‘posted’, ‘

      • ‘); ?>

    Here is mine. It’s a little different. It changes on the output.
    if ($author_comment_count != 1) {
    echo “$before$comment_author_link – $author_comment_count comments$after”;
    } else {
    echo “$before$comment_author_link – $author_comment_count comment$after”; }

    Thanks for this…another thing to play with. ??

    I love this hack. I would like to make som modifications to it, but I’m unsure how. I’d like my output to look like this:
    Jess – 184 total
    last commented: (date of last comment)
    on entry: (entry title last commented on w/link to entry)
    Is there a way to do this?

    The portion of the function that figures the last comment by an author doesn’t work. I was going to try to fix the query, but it’s not an easy one.

    Yeah I was having the same problem too. With the “Last” section.

    MtDew, do you write all the hacks around here? ?? Or just know everything? ‘Cuz you are all over the board helping everyone. What a guy! =)
    Thanks for all your help!

    I just try to help out as much as I can. ??

    Daisyhead yes you can i’ll post how to do it in a sec when I figure out whats going on….. MtDewVirus, What exactly isn’t working correctly? I don’t see the problem that you are talking about.

    The query doesn’t exactly pull the ID and comment_ID for the last comment by a visitor. At least not from my testing of it. The GROUP BY messes this up. I ran into a similar problem with a hack I wrote and was able to fix it by callin for MAX(comment_ID), but then how do you get the correct ID? You can’t pull the MAX(ID) because the latest post commented on by a visitor may not be their latest comment. See what I mean?
    I was running the query through phpMyAdmin, trying to get the correct results but so far have been unable to.

    You guys are great! I can live without the last date commented. I don’t mean to be such a pest. Maybe I just need to tweak my output so it will say:
    Jess – 184 total
    last on entry: (entry title last commented on w/link to entry)
    Is there a way to change that?

    Hey Daisyhead
    Does the “Last” at the end of your comments leader actually works? and bring up the latest comment by that user?
