Plugin Description
This plugin is an add on to the Comment Rating plugin (version 2.9.0 or later). It displays ratings
along with the most recent comments in the sidebar in formats of your design.
The comment rating and images on display can be “Likes only”, “Dislikes only”, or Both.
This is customizable by the “Value for comment_karma” option in Comment Rating.
An example website is Wealthy Netizen.
To avoid reinventing the wheel, the plugin is built upon Krischan
Jodies’ popular and stable “Get Recent Comment” widget. All the
features of “Get Recent Comment” remain as is. The “Comment Rating
Widge” plugin will track the most recent release “Get Recent Comment”.
If the Comment Rating plugin is not present, this plug in
will function exactly as “Get Recent Comment”.
The following is Krischan Jodies’ description of Get Recent Comment.
This plugin shows excerpts of the latest comments and/or trackbacks in your
sidebar. You have comprehensive control about their appearance. This ranges
from the number of comments, the length of the excerpts up to the html layout.
You can let the plugin order the comments by the corresponding post, or simply
order them by date. The plugin can (optionally) separate the
trackbacks/pingbacks from the comments. It can ignore comments to certain
categories, and it offers support for gravatars. It only gives extra work to
the database, when actually a new comment arrived. You can filter out
unwanted pingbacks, which originate from your own blog. And it is a widget.
