I'm trying to put in the 5 most recent comments and I would like to put in a tag that shows what category each entry belongs to. I use to have them but I lost my templates in a host change. I've tried to find them in the forum but haven't had much luck.

CODE

<MTComments lastn="5" sort_order="descend">
<MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1">: <MTCommentBody convert_breaks="0" trim_to="50" remove_html="1">
<MTCommentEntry>
[<a href="<MTEntryLink>">entry</a> in category <MTEntryCategory>]
</MTCommentEntry><br />
</MTComments>

That should get you started.

I'm sorry. I guess I should have been more specific. :(

On the one hand I just want to add the tags for the 5 most recently commented entries.

Then after each current entry I want to be able to put a link to whatever category it belongs to. I know these have both been covered before but I can't find them anywhere. :(

And use <MTEntryCategory> to show the category the entry was placed in. Use the <MTEntryCategories> container tag if you have multiple categories.

All of this is covered in the manual under template tags.
