Hi
I'm testing Commentics and works well with Recent Comments..but I'd like, instead of the date,

PHP Code:

<?php 

echo $comment["name"] . " on <a href='" . $page["url"] . "'>" . $page["reference"] . "</a> at " . [b]date("g:ia (jS-M)", strtotime($comment["dated"]));[/b]

Hi,

This will display the first 20 characters of the comment:

PHP Code:

<?php 

// Start of 'Recent Comments' **********************************************************************************************

echo "<h3>Recent Comments</h3>";



$comments = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `" . $cmtx_mysql_table_prefix . "comments` WHERE `is_approved` = '1' ORDER BY `dated` DESC LIMIT 5");



while ($comment = mysql_fetch_array($comments)) {



    $page_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `" . $cmtx_mysql_table_prefix . "pages` WHERE `id` = '" . $comment["page_id"] . "'");

    $page = mysql_fetch_assoc($page_query);

    

    $comment_snippet = $comment["comment"];

    $comment_snippet = str_ireplace("<br />", " ", $comment_snippet);

    $comment_snippet = str_ireplace("<p></p>", " ", $comment_snippet);

    $comment_snippet = strip_tags($comment_snippet);

    $comment_snippet = html_entity_decode($comment_snippet, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

    $comment_snippet = substr($comment_snippet, 0, 20);

    $comment_snippet = htmlspecialchars($comment_snippet, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');



    echo $comment["name"] . " on <a href='" . $page["url"] . "'>" . $page["reference"] . "</a> said " . $comment_snippet;

    echo "<br/>";

    

}

// End of 'Recent Comments' ************************************************************************************************
