Hi,

I am trying to find the entries with most number of comments or how could i display the entries based on the no. of comments?

Thank you,

Gani

I've been trying to do the same thing, but haven't had any success... It seemed like it would be pretty straightforward:



Not only does it not get the 4 most-commented posts in that blog, the articles that do get displayed aren't even sorted by their comment_count. (btw - I'm using MT 4.13)

If anybody has any insight on a solution, it would be greatly appreciated!

Sorting entries in an <MTEntries> tag by comment_count requires at least MT 4.2.

Well, perhaps I was just being stubborn since it seems this need should be easily handled by existing MT template tags. I finally just caved and installed the MTContentiousEntries plugin that I came across in the comments for the MTEntries Tag.

The plugin worked perfectly for me right off the bat.

Thanks for the tip, David. I'd been putting off upgrading, but I may go ahead and bite the bullet.

Thanks for your reply.

I am using the code in that page.

works well if it is inside category tag, but it gives an error when i try to put the code inside the entry Any idea.

I am trying to use this for all entries in the blog instead of going through the each category. how can i do that?

Thanks

I tried this one too. But its sorting only the entries with in that page. But i need to do that for entire blog(from all categories)

<mt:Entries lastn="5" sort_by="comment_count">

<mt:If tag="EntryCommentCount">
<ul>
<mt:Comments lastn="1" sort_order="descend">
<mt:CommentEntry>
<li><a href="<$mt:CommentLink$>"><$mt:EntryTitle$>(<$mt:EntryCommentCount$>)</a>
<br/>
<$mt:CommentBody remove_html="1" trim_to="25"$>
</mt:CommentEntry>
<br/>

</li>
</ul>

</mt:Comments>
</mt:If>


any help please?
</mt:Entries>

Try swapping the lastn and the sort_by

That didn't work either.

thanks
