Get Author’s Comments

Leírás

This plugin allows to display or retrieve comments posted by a user. In order to avoid homonyms, a user is identified by his name and email(s).

Note: Get Author’s Comments uses the function wp_list_comments introduced by WordPress 2.7 for the (x)HTML output.

Usage

Display all comments of a specific user in the current post

<?php
    <ol>
        <?php ppm_author_comments('piouPiouM', 'foo@example.com'); ?>
    </ol>
?>

or, if piouPiouM wrote with two different emails:

<?php
    <ol>
        <?php ppm_author_comments('piouPiouM', array('foo@example.com', 'bar@example.org')); ?>
    </ol>
?>

Display all comments posted by a user

<?php
    <ol>
        <?php ppm_author_comments('piouPiouM', 'foo@example.com', null, 'all=1'); ?>
    </ol>
?>

Display comments wrote by a user in the post of ID number 9

<?php
    <ol>
        <?php ppm_author_comments('piouPiouM', 'foo@example.com', 9); ?>
    </ol>
?>

Note: If you used the tags ppm_author_comments or ppm_get_author_comments whithin The Loop, the parameter $postID will be replaced automatically by the numeric ID of the current post.

Lastest comments ordered by post_ID

To show the last ten piouPiouM’s comments sorted by post_ID in ascending order, the following will display their comment date and excerpt:

<?php
    $comments = ppm_get_author_comments('piouPiouM', 'foo@example.com', null, 'number=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_id');
    foreach ($comments as $comment):
?>
<p><cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> says:</p>
<ol>
    <li>
        <p>Comment posted on <?php comment_date('n-j-Y'); ?>:<br/></p>
        <p><?php comment_excerpt(); ?></p>
    </li>
</ol>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Comments with a custom comment display

<?php
    <ol>
        <?php ppm_author_comments('piouPiouM', 'info@example.com', null, 'callback=mytheme_comment'); ?>
    </ol>
?>

See Comments Only With A Custom Comment Display for an example of a custom callback function.

Show the total number of comments posted by a user on the site
