Plugin: mg_comments_count
The plugin <txp:mg_comments_count /> returns the number of comments on a post followed by the word of your choice. It’s a simple plugin that adds some user friendliness to comment display.
Download it:
<txp:mg_comments_count />
Attributes
This plugin takes three attributes:
- zero: The text to display if there are no comments. NOTE: A zero numeral is NOT returned. Defaults to ‘No comments’.
- one: The text to display if there is one comment. The number “1” will precede the text. Defaults to ’1 comment’.
- many: The text to display if there is more than 1 comment. The number of comments will precede the text. Defaults to ‘x comments’.
Examples
Example #1
<txp:mg_comments_count />
The above would output the following:
- “No comments” if there are no comments
- “1 comment” if there is one comment
- “16 comments” if there are 16 comments
Example #2
<txp:mg_comments_count zero="Not a single comment yet." one="One lonely comment." many="hot comments so far." />
The above would output the following:
- “Not a single comment yet.” if there are no comments
- “One lonely comment.” if there is one comment
- “16 hot comments so far.” if there are 16 comments
Notes on usage
Typically, I use this plugin at the top of my comment display. It could also be worked into a comment invite if you combine it with a few conditionals.
