hm....this might be easy to do with a hack to the add_comment.php file...i've got a lot of other things going on today, but i'll try to work one out...

I'm interested in this too, is there something already written?

i've done a few searches on latest/newest comments.. this seems to be the most recent/active thread on the subject.

did anything ever come of this?

(i've tried to use some of the posting/fetching code from add_comment.php using the NewstPhoto block as a base.. unfortunately the kinks in mine break the whole page heheheh)

OK, this seems to work.. in "block-NG-NewestPhoto.php" insert this just before "return $content;" (i'm still interested in one that looks a bit nicer Smile

)

// BEGIN -- add/view comments modification to "Newest Photo" block --

// from add_comment.php
// $url = "add_comment.php?set_albumName={$gallery->album->fields['name']}&id=$id";
$url = "add_comment.php?set_albumName={$newestPhotoAlbum->fields['name']}&id=$id";
$content .= "<br>";
$content .= popup_link('[' . _("add comment") . ']', $url, 0);
$content .= "<hr>";

//from view_comments.php
$comments = $newestPhotoAlbum->numComments($index);
if($comments > 0)
{
for($j = 1; $j <= $comments; $j++)
{
$comment = $newestPhotoAlbum->getComment($index, $j);

//from layout/commentbox.inc
$content .= "";
$content .= $comment->getName();
$content .= " @ ";
$content .= $comment->getDatePosted();
$content .= " Said: <br>";
$content .= $comment->getCommentText();
$content .= "<hr>";
}
}

// END -- add/view comments modification to "Newest Photo" block --
