Comment Manager script

Are the 5 most recent comments inside MT's interface just not enough of a listing for you? With multiple blogs or high amounts of comments, you may want a longer listing with more info. I created this script because I wanted a way to view a longer list of the recent comments, and also have links for easy editing and to enhance blacklisting.

Required:

Comments Manager script -- save as commentmgr.php. There are several variables that should be set at the top of the file.

You'll also need connect.php (save as connect.php).
if you've used any PHP/MySQL scripts in the past, you probably already have it.

Upload these files and run commentsmgr.php from your browser. A list of your comments should appear with details. Links on the top bar will allow you to see the next set of oldest comments.

Future enhancements could be made; feel free to leave comments with suggestions and I'll see what I can do. :)

Known issue: The listing is for all blogs in the system. If someone on a shared copy of MT was wanting to use this, they'd probably see all of the comments. They wouldn't be able to edit any that their MT username didn't have permission to, though.


Comments: 8

Thanks this is really great !

I'm using IE 5.5 with a 800x600 screen. The comment manage screen is huge and requires a lot of horizontal screening to get over to the function elements on the right hand side. Is there any way that this page could be made scalable or something?

kristine, thank you for this valuable tool.
Into which directory should the two .php files be uploaded?

wow! Fantastic tool! I'm beside myself!

Had to do a little haxoring of the php files, but after getting some cgi paths right this tool worked like a charm.

I am currently not running blacklist yet, but this tool will still work properly. I just don't click on the Blacklist button! :)

Thanks again!

Oh, I extracted and configured the two files into a separate directory outside my blog directory. Then I dropped in a .htaccess file to provide some elementary control so I had some protection from misuse

Again, great tool

I installed this but when I view the page there are no comments listed though I can see the menu just fine. I have the commentmgr.php set to 644 and the connect.php set to 600

Are my permissions incorrect?

Umm... I looked at the connect.php file again and realised I configured it wrong. D'oh

I got this warning:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/divine/public_html/commentmgr.php on line 107
