Exactly, _wp_get_comment_list() returns an array of all comments so from there, you would simply run a foreach loop.

Hey Kim, awesome. Let us know how it works out once you implement it.

Hey Ptah, glad you found it useful. I was actually thinking of implementing a similar page here too because I think it’s a good way to “reward’ good commenters.

And thanks for the tip about the raw SQL queries. I’m assuming that could essentially replace any instances of code like this?

$sql = "SELECT p.*, ..."; // and so on $results = $wpdb->get_results($sql);

Definitely some things here that I want to implement on my photoblog once I get it converted to WordPress. Thanks!

Great idea, I might implement something like this for my site.

Just an FYI: instead of doing raw queries, try using this:

include ( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/template.php’ );
_wp_get_comment_list( ‘approved’, false, 0, 20, 0, ‘comment’ );
