The comments plugin displays the first sentences of each trackback on the frontpage of my second blog: http://germany-usa.atlanticreview.org/ (Still under construction)

How can I get the comments-plugin to also show the title of the trackbacks in the list of recent comments (here called "latest submissions") on my front page?

I guess, I have to change this code in serendipity_plugin_comments.php, but I don't know how.

Code: Select all

   printf(
                  PLUGIN_COMMENTS_ABOUT,

                  $user,
                  ' <a class="highlight" href="' . serendipity_archiveURL($row['entry_id'], $row['subject'], 'baseURL', true, array('timestamp' => $row['entrystamp'])) .'#c' . $row['comment_id'] . '" title="' . htmlspecialchars($row['subject']) . '">'
                      . htmlspecialchars($row['subject'])
                      . '</a><br />' . "\n"
                      . htmlspecialchars(serendipity_strftime($dateformat, $row['stamp'])) . '<br />' . "\n"
                      . strip_tags($entry['comment'], '<br><img>')
                      . '<br /><br /><br />' . "\n\n"
                );

Hm, but the title ("subject") that the blog submits is already shown there? I'm not really sure how you would want it to look like?

So far the title of my blog post is shown. I would like to have the title of the other blog post shown.

Let me try to explain: Let's say my blog is called ABC and I wrote a post with the title DEF.

Your blog is called 123 and you write a post with the title 456. In this post you quote my post. I now receive a trackback.

So far the trackback is shown like this: "123 about DEF."

I would like to have the trackback shown this way: "123 submits 456."

It sounds weird, but I believe it makes sense for displaying the recent submissions of a blog carnival...

Ah, okay. You can replace $row['subject'] with $row['comment_title'] and then you see the subject of the foreign blog in the output. Does that help?

Best regards,

Yes, that helps!

Thank you, Garvin.
