=== Wizzart - Customizable Recent Comments === Contributors: Dominik Guzei Tags: recent, comments, configurable, customizable, widget, format, wizzart Requires at least: 2.8 Tested up to: 2.9.2 Stable tag: 1.2.2 Offers you a highly customizable widget to show recent comments of your blog in your sidebars. == Description == This plugin offers a highly customizable widget to show recent comments of your visitors in your sidebars. The output is completely under your control for every single widget through simple HTML mixed with %custom_tags that provide you with templating functionality. = Special Features: = * Comment Filters: Filter which comments you want to output (all, current category, single post/page comments), and a lot more to come! * Comment Types: Choose which types of comments are displayed and even mix them (or not): user, trackbacks, pingbacks! * Output Html: Control exactly how you want your widget to output your comments with html. * Custom Tags: You can mix your html with a huge number of custom tags that provide you with often needed properties of the comments, authors, posts, categories and so on.. * Gravatar enabled: This Plugin supports the built in gravatar function of wordpress and gives you the possibilty to use it in your way for the comment display. * Multiple widgets: (in multiple sidebars) are natively supported and you can change all the settings for every single widget in use. There is no extra plugin page because I think you dont need to polute the backend to be able to configure a great widget! You can find the plugin home page at: [http://wizzart.at/development/plugin-wizzart-recent-comments/](http://wizzart.at/development/plugin-wizzart-recent-comments).

Feel free to leave comments and ask questions on the authors website! == Installation == 1. Upload the `wizzart-recent-comments` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate `Wizzart - Recent Comments` through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to the `Widgets` control panel, and drag the `Wizzart - Recent Comments` button into your sidebar list, and configure the options to your liking. If you want to keep the defaults for the widget, just leave everything as-is. == Frequently Asked Questions == = What's supposed to go into the gravatar default url? = The gravatar default url field is optional and provides the possibility to link to a static image on your server. This is might be important if you have many comments and are concerned about the page loading times because the gravatar feature loads the default image from the gravatar servers which can slow down the progress. = How can I style the output? = You have to know a bit about html and css to style the output of the plugin. There are two options: You can use inline styles directly in the output format field (with: style="...") or you can use your standard wordpress css files and add rules at the end of them to modify the appearance of the output (this might be complicated for beginners). I am working hard to provide you with an easier solution as soon as possible. == Screenshots == 1. Widget Configuration Form 2.
