Here's the situation:

I have two "recent comments" lists on my index.

The first list is recent comments from all entries.

The second list is recent comments from a particular entry, using the mt-entry id tag, for the sake of this post lets call it entry "15".

How do I exclude the comments from entry "15" from appearing in the first recent comments list?

I suggest the MTCompare plugin.

I went ahead and got the mtcompare plugin. I'm still uncertain as to how to write the code. I tried this, although it didn't work (and probably for obvious reasons to someone more adept at code.)

CODE

<div class="side">
<MTIfNotEqual a="[MTEntry]" b="[MTEntry id='15']">
<MTComments lastn="5" sort_order="descend">
• <MTCommentAuthorLink spam_protect="1">: <MTCommentBody convert_breaks="0" trim_to="100" remove_html="1">
<MTCommentEntry>...
[<a href="<MTEntryLink archive_type="Individual">">entry</a>]
</MTCommentEntry><br />
</MTComments>
</MTIfNotEqual>
</div>

Any suggestions? Sorry I'm so misguided.

Try MTEntryID not MTEntry:

Thanks for responding Girlie:

I used your line instead, and when I rebuilt I got this message:

MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x8066420) Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at plugins/Compare.pl line 38.

It still rebuilt, but it didn't exclude the comments from entry "15".

Maybe try it without numeric="1"?
