Availability

This plugin is available as of blojsom 2.23.

Installation and Setup

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

recent-comments=org.blojsom.plugin.comment.RecentCommentsPlugin

You may then add "recent-comments" to the beginning of one of the flavor-based plugin chains. These plugin chains can be found in the individual user's plugin.properties file. You should add this plugin before any plugins that limit the number of entries displayed. This is because the plugin only loops over the entries that it has available. For example:

html.blojsom-plugin-chain=recent-comments,...

The following parameters in blog.properties can be used to control the behavior of this plugin.
