1) Try something like
CODE
home > journal > entry #<$MTEntryID$>
You should be aware that the IDs are for across your entire MT install so if you have multiple blogs they all have the same numbering system, rather than each blog having its own numbering system
2) If you want to only list the entries that were commented on, use:
CODE
<MTEntries recently_commented_on="5">
...
</MTEntries>
3) If you would like to display the comment and also indicate what entry it came from, and you are using MT 2.5 you can do something like this:
CODE
<MTComments lastn="5" sort_order="descend">
<$MTCommentAuthor$> <a href="<$MTCGIPath$>mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=<$MTCommentEntryID$>" onClick="OpenComments(this.href);return false" title="click to view comments">said</a> <MTFirstNWords n="15"><$MTCommentBody$></MTFirstNWords>... (<$MTCommentDate format="%m/%e/%y @ %I:%M %p"$> in <MTCommentEntry><a href="<$MTEntryLink$>#<$MTEntryID$>" title="click to view entry"><$MTEntryTitle$></a></MTCommentEntry>)<br><br>
</MTComments>
This will show the last five comments, with the most recent on top and the display will look something like:
QUOTE
almuhajabah said blah blah blah.... (10/10/02 @ 02:01 PM in entry title)
where the underlined parts will be links, the one on "said" to the comments pop-up for that entry and the one on the entry title to the permalink for the entry.
Note: I am using the
FirstNWords plugin. If you don't have this, replace
CODE
<MTFirstNWords n="15"><$MTCommentBody$></MTFirstNWords>
with
CODE
<$MTCommentBody trim_to="40" remove_html="1"$>
I like the FirstNWords plugin because it allows you to set the number of words rather than the number of characters that will be displayed, and it automatically strips the HTML
