Module for latest commented articles

[hytsch]

The ‘latest comments’ module is fine. It would be nice to have an additional module ‘last commented articles’.

Can you please elaborate on the use case for this feature? I understand why having the latest comments might be a good idea (which is why I implemented it), but I have some trouble understanding how the last commented articles would be relevant.

Hi Nic, thanks for your question, and I'm very happy to describe my use case, which I think might be of interest to others: The problem with the ‘recent comments’ module in my case is that a post with more than one comment is also listed multiple times.
However, I would like to list a number of recently commented posts, regardless of how many comments have been written. This way I can see at a glance where ‘something is happening’ on a website and can call up the relevant articles. Best, Christian

That makes sense. I am adding this feature to the Latest Comments module with 1e2cc06 You will now be able to select to display the latest commented articles. This ensures that only one comment will appear for each article. If you set the number of items to 10 you will see up to 10 articles which were recently commented. If you leave the mode switch to latest comments instead, you will see a number of comments in reverse chronological order; this means there might be two or more comments from the same article.

Thank you! I have updated the module, unfortunately I get an error. (Call to undefined method Akeeba\Component\Engage\Site\Model\CommentsModel::getLatestArticles())
Should I reinstall the whole component?

Yes
