Another bug in LastComments
  • LAttilaDLAttilaD
    Sorry for flooding you with complaints and questions, but this is because I like FlatPress and am using it.
    Now, a reader had called my attention to the fact that deleted comments stay listed in LastComments. I have no idea what to do, where and how, but isn’t it possible to rebuild the LastComments cache after deleting a comment, or simply to remove its record?
  • NoWhereManNoWhereMan
    that's because lastcomments is a quick & dirty plugin, just like postViews.
    the cache is in fp-content/cache/lastcomments.tmp
    if you delete it, it won't be recreated. Comments are added to the cache only on submission. I think @pierovdfn might have written a better plugin, but I'm not sure.
  • pierovdfnpierovdfn
    I think it's a nice feature but it's, as you know, flat files make some things difficult.
    I've just made a plugin to keep the cache of last_comments when you delete the cache but I haven't written a plugin that it's a good replacement for last comments.
    I think that if I would have this feature I would use the hooks of admin panel, but last comments would remain a quick & dirty plugin.
    Maybe if in the comment_delete function there were a hook it could be easy to do a good job.

    now there is 
    do_action('comment_delete', $id, $comment_id);
    in SVN
  • pierovdfnpierovdfn
    Thanks :-)
    However I have a doubt: all handlers of this hook must return $id, otherwise the functions that are called later won't have they id, will they?
    So, if I am right, it should be better using an empty parameter as first param.
  • NoWhereManNoWhereMan
    it's an action, not a filter. actions are void

    Sorry, what does SVN mean?

    There is a ready to use plugin from fabrix for the lastcomments. With this plugin you can manually rebuild all comments in Flatpress.

    And SVN means "subversion", which means, the current developer version. You can get it here:

    Thank you, Laborix, this helped a lot. Now my last comments list is up to date. :)
