Hi – the plugin worked fine untill there were a pingback from another posting of mine. Then this error message turned up:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/home/dan17612/public_html/wp-content/plugins/recent-comments-by-entry/widget_recent_comments_by_entry.php on line 132
Can you figure out what’s wrong?

Hi Raapil,
I am watching your site and let me know little information.
- in which version you are using? you can check it at ‘plugin’ menu at dashboard.
- did you modify or edit or open&save php file?
Those information are very helpful to fix this problem for me.
Also if you do not mind, add normal ‘comments’ widget somewhere I can find, so I can compare which pingback makes this issue.
thank you.
P.S.
Ah, I found something. Did you install two recent-comments-by-entry.php ? In your source file, there’s two of them at one place (maybe). If so, remove one of them from server by using FTP software.
Also, I did update this widget so plz try new one.

I uninstalled 0.5 and upgraded to vs. 0.6 but the error is still there.
AFTER the problem started I opened php-file, but I haven’t changed anything.
I don’t think I’ve installed two r-c-b-e.php, there’s only one at the server.
The problem started first time I had a pingback, so it seems there’s some trouble with this function. I see you have fixed this:
0.0.5 – bug fix: no more trackbacks/pingbacks on the list
But the pingback is still at top of the list.

Hi Raapil,
I found what makes wrong and uploaded 0.0.7 on repository now (so you can download it in few minutes).
The reasone why it was error is missing article. The article ‘Tøsepopper tjener tykt på Tuben’ received pingback from ‘Kunstnerisk nytænkning’ but if I clicked the source link then I saw ‘Indlægget blev ikke fundet’ (http://raapil.dk/?p=6351), means ‘Message not found’.
I modified my php file (now 0.0.7) and added logic to skip if there are no article. So before you remove this pingback, please try 0.0.7 first. This is good chance to find out ‘missing error’ for me, too.
Thanks

It works in so far as there’s no error message. But the pingback still shows, and it should not?
Also, the error was there before I deleted the article. I deleted it because I thought it would remove the error message.
But something seems to work :)

It should not display pingbacks at list but the data which you removed had type of comment information, too. This means, if you removed article, the type information also removed. There’s no way to find out what it was. However, the article which received pingback remembers ’something’ came in. I will try to think about how to fix this problem, but now it is better to remove that pingback from its entry by using your dashboard. (means I can simulate this issue locally)
Thanks again.

Ok, thanks a lot :)

Hi Catkick – I wonder if it is possible to make the commenters names clickable on the list on the frontpage – i.e. convert them to links that leads to the comment itself?
The reason is that if you have a lot of comments, you have to scroll down the list that becomes longer and longer. It would be much easier to just click and get to the comment.
A suggestion if you consider upgrading the plugin.

That’s sounds reasonable, maybe i will add checkbox to on/off those links (if without checkbox, it will be complicated when using smaller font). OK, anyway, i put your idea on the list. Thank you!
