Recent Commentary Widget
Provides a sidebar widget containing a list of posts with recent comments, and a list of commenters on those posts. Different from most recent comments plugins in that comments about a single post are listed under one entry rather than separately.
Description
Provides a sidebar widget that displays a list of posts that have recent comments. The posts are displayed in chronological order according to the most recent post on a given comment. Posts with multiple comments have the commenters listed, in chronological order according to when they posted, in a sublist.
The list looks something like this:
* 2 on Dream About Irish Education/Politics
Radegund, Tadhg
* 3 on Some RSS Changes
Mollydot, Tadhg, Mollydot
* 3 on Ringworld Review
unkiedave, unkiedave, Tadhg
* 4 on Related Posts Plugin and SQL Trickery
Richard, Shota, Tadhg, Tadhg
The posts are listed in order of those with the most recent comment; the age of the post, and the age of comments other than the most recent one, are not considered.
