Recent Comments from All Blogs from your Network

Howdy, we’re here again to share a simple snippet of code to create a widget for your WordPress Blog Network. This piece of code will fetch comments from every site and show it as a simple widget on your sidebar. Very useful for Multisite Installations.

Here is the code. Paste it to your functions.php file on your theme folder and you’re all set.

			
Enter the Widget Title here:

		get_results("SELECT blog_id FROM $wpdb->blogs", ARRAY_A);
			$old = $wpdb->blogid;
			$comments = array();
			foreach ($blogs as $blog) {
				$wpdb->set_blog_id($blog['blog_id']);
				$query = get_comments(array('status' => 'approve',	'number' => 3, 'type' => 'comment'));
				$count = count($query);
				for ($i = 0;$i < $count;$i++) {
					$post = get_post($query[$i]->comment_post_ID);
					$query[$i]->permalink = get_blog_permalink($blog['blog_id'], $post->ID);
					$query[$i]->post_title = $post->post_title;
				}
				$comments = array_merge($comments, $query);
			}
			$wpdb->set_blog_id($old);
			
			function cmp($a, $b) {
				if (strtotime($a->comment_date) == strtotime($b->comment_date)) {
					return 0;
				}
				return (strtotime($a->comment_date) < strtotime($b->comment_date)) ? -1 : 1;
			}
			usort($comments, "cmp");
			
			$comments = array_slice($comments, 0, $limit);
			if ($comments) {
