Implemented Recent Comments Changes, Additions etc...

Showcase Home and AMS Category pages now have some additional options to control the Recent Comments Sidebar Block. You can now Hide the Prefix and set the Snippet Length (used to be hard coded to 100 characters). The MIN snippet length is 25 (no max).

The AMS Home Page options includes the Category Chooser (as does Forum Home, CTA and [bd] WF).


Category Pages options obviously only display comments within the Category Tree, so there is no category chooser.




The [bd] Widget Framework Renderer 'Showcase: Items Comments' which is used to create Recent Comments widgets also has these same options now.

With that said, there are a lot of license holders that do not use the [bd] Widget Framework, so, along with these changes is the Addition of adding the Recent Comments options to the Forum Home Options and CTA FT Portal Options allowing you to add a Recent Comments block to Forum Home and or CTA Featured Threads & Portal without having to do so via the [bd] Widget Framework.
