Blogger Buster: Top Commenter's Widget for Blogger Blogs!

March 10, 2008

Top Commenter's Widget for Blogger Blogs!

Filed under: Widgets and Add-ons 212 Comments

Would you like to display a list of the top commenters in your blog? This widget will enable you to do exactly that! If you install this widget, a list of the top ten people who have commented most in your blog will be displayed with along with the count of comments they have made.

This is a great way of thanking readers who comment regularly and is very easy to add to your blog layout using the one click widget installer

To install this widget in your own blog, simply change the title to suit your preferences and alter the URL to match that of your blog.

If your blog has a Blog*Spot URL, you should enter your URL like this:

yourblog.blogspot.com

If you use a custom domain for your blog, simply enter the URL of your blog's domain.

In either case, do not add the "http://" part! This is already rendered by the script used to display the commenter feed.

If you would like to remove your own name from the list, enter your name in the "Filter Your Name" box.

Use the form below to add this widget to your own Blogger powered blog:

This widget is based on the Top Commentators Widget for Blogger which was created by Assess My Blog. It uses Yahoo Pipes to process the last 500 comments made on your blog, and displays a list of the ten people who have commented the most in this range.

Each name is linked to the most recent comment on your blog made by this person (since it would be very difficult to create a generic script which would work for all blogs and comment settings!).

Update: I have now added an extra element which allows you to remove your own name from the list of Top Commenters (thanks to Carrotmadman6 for the tip!).

I have tested this extensively in IE6/7 and Firefox and in these browsers the script and display work just fine. If anyone notices a glitch or problem in other browsers, please let me know so I can work on solving the issue.

If you find this widget useful, please tell your friends or bookmark this post using your favorite service. I have worked long and hard to create this installer and really appreciate your help in spreading the word about this new tool :)

Thank you
10 March 2008 16:44 MuDiva said...: Thanks Amanda for this widget. I have it up and it works fine for me. Just wanted to say your tutorials are the best and they have helped me improve my blog. Thanks so much for all you do!
10 March 2008 17:04 Amanda said...: For Dan: Thank you for the link, I'll take a look at that now.

For Mudiva: I'm glad this works well for you. There are still a couple of features I'd like to work on which could improve the widget a little, though for the time being this seems to do the job quite well :)

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm always open to suggestions if there's anything specific you'd like to know about Blogger.

Best wishes,

Amanda
10 March 2008 17:37 Dejan said...: Very nice widget, thanks Amanda.
10 March 2008 18:29 Jose, a secas said...: Hola Amanda:

Disculpa si te escribo en español pero no me defiendo muy bien con el inglés.

He aplicado el widget en mi blog pero he vito que también aparecen contabilizados mis propios comentarios. ¿No sería posible omitir ese dato?

Gracias y felicidades por el blog.
11 March 2008 12:14 Yo misma said...: Jose a secas and me want to konw if it is possible to remove our own names from the list. I haven´t understood what you mean when you say "you would need to create your own pipe and ad a filter". Please, write up that article about it.
11 March 2008 12:20 Yo misma said...: And I also think that if you want to thanking readers who comment regularly with this widget, it would be much better that each name was linked to this person's blog instead of to the most recent comment on your blog made by this person.
11 March 2008 12:59 MuDiva said...: I agree with yo misma, if we could take out our own names and have a link that would go to the persons blog instead of the post they replied to.
11 March 2008 13:57 carrotmadman6 said...: Yes, i agree with the above commenters that we would like the tutorial on how to remove your own name & link each commenter to their blog or their Blogger profile!

Anyway, thanks a lot for this GREAT widget! :)
11 March 2008 20:15 Amanda said...: For Jose, Yo Misma, Mudiva and Carrotmadman6: Thank you all for your comments. I will be writing up the tutorial tomorrow to explain how to remove your own names from the output of top commenters.

Unfortunately though, I've had some great difficulty in providing links to the author's home/profile pages.

I've been experimenting with Yahoo Pipes all day in an effort to somehow accomplish this (and a similar widget I'm working on).

The problem with linking to individual blogs/profiles is that the comments feed used in this widget does not include the URL of the commenter, only the author's name. The only way to find the commenter's URL is to extract this from the actual blog post on which the comment has been left. This may be possible but so far I haven;t been able to accomplish this myself.

(If Blogger would publish the author's URL in the comments feed this would make the task SO MUCH simpler!).

I do hope you all like this widget, despite the lack of author links! Now that I've learned more about using pipes and XML feeds, I have some ideas for other Blogger widgets too which I think will be quite useful.

Best wishes,

Amanda
11 March 2008 21:41 MuDiva said...: Thanks Amanda, I still like the widget and will continue to use it. You do such great work!
12 March 2008 00:14 Yo misma said...: Thank you so much, Amanda, I´m sure I'll find your tutorial (and, of course, the widget) very useful. So I'll spread the word about this new widget!
12 March 2008 01:57 Manick said...: Hi Amanda,

Good work. Its great to see the one-click shortcut for my top commentators widget. I appreciate your link back to my post. Thanks.
12 March 2008 14:43 Amanda said...: I just wanted to let you all know that I've now written up the tutorial to explain how to filter your names from the list. Read the tutorial here.

For Manick: Thank you for stopping by! You're most welcome for the link :)
14 March 2008 03:06 Manick said...: Hi Amanda,

Once again, great work in incorporating the step to remove the author's name.

I have a suggestion. Is it possible to include more than one name from being filtered. Right now in my pipe, I am filtering three names; my own name (Manick), my old name (Admin, earlier I used this to mask my original name) and of course, Anonymous.

Keep up the good work. Thanks.
14 March 2008 06:28 LadyJava said...: Hiya Amanda..

I want to congratulate you on such a wonderful widget. My blogger friends are all so excited over this widget..and creating such a buzz over it and thanks so much for dropping by at my blog to keep me update.

You are the best...

Muahsssss
LadyJava :)
14 March 2008 23:12 aroengbinang said...: wonderful, thanks a lot Amanda for making it so simple and helpful...
congrats for the nice work!
15 March 2008 09:55 Lordvader said...: It´s posible a version that works with blogger-haloscan comments?
15 March 2008 16:53 Finally Woken said...: Thanks a lot! I tried to use yahoo! pipe before but it's a mess so I deleted it. Your widget works perfectly in my blog! You're a star!
17 March 2008 00:23 Nessa said...: Great job Amanda and thanks for sharing this widget. 10 thumbs up to you!!

Regards

Nessa, MUMBLINGS
17 March 2008 11:29 Jean Chia said...: I've been wanting this widget since i saw one at wordpress. Thanks for sharing! it's great! ;)

Jean Chia
19 March 2008 09:10 Amanda said...: For Manick: you could try adding an extra "&filter=Name" at the end of the URL. As far as I'm aware, this should work to remove multiple names from the widget without having to create another external pipe.

For LadyJava: Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad this widget is so useful for you and your friends :)

For Aroengbinang: Thank you for your lovely comments.

For Lordvader: I haven't used Haloscan's commenting system before, so I can't really offer much advice. It may be possible if Haloscan offer an XML/RSS feed of your recent comments, in which case you can simply replace your comments feed in the widget with the Haloscan feed instead.

For Finally Woken, Nessa and Jean Chia: Thank you all for stopping by to comment! I'm happy to know this widget is proving useful for other Bloggers.

Best wishes to you all,

Amanda
19 March 2008 09:15 LadyJava said...: Hi Amanda.. sorry to bother you but can I just ask you a question. Why does the number of comments made by the commenter seems to decrease with time. The widget displayed as some of the commenter having 77 comments and sometime the next day it decrease to 70 or something.. My friends saw this as well.. I'm figuring it has something to do with the widget processing the last 500 comments.. Is this right??

Thanks so much again for this wonderful widget... and the rest of the tutorial. You're awesome :)
19 March 2008 09:38 Amanda said...: For Lady Java: Yes, this is probably because the widget only parses the last 500 comments. Dark UFO asked me about increasing this number a while ago, though as yet I haven't had much time to look into it. As soon as I can, I'll post the details here for you both.

Best wishes,

Amanda
19 March 2008 09:40 LadyJava said...: Thanks so much Amanda.. I will look forward to your post then :)

Much appreciated :)
23 March 2008 15:49 Speedcat Hollydale said...: This blog is so great, I want to give it a hug! I tried this, and it works great.

24 March 2008 23:37 Dav7 said...: this is a great widget, but I was searching for one that, clicking on the nick of the commenter's, we could go directly to their blog, provided on the profile or else :S

01 May 2008 19:10 C K said...: Thanks Amanda! I was wondering whether it is possible to remove more than one name from the commentators' list?

Cheers!
04 May 2008 09:49 WhoIsMarc? said...: hi Amanda thakns for sharing. I also have the same sentiments with ck, and how can I filter more than 1 name?

As I quote from you:
"For Manick: you could try adding an extra "&filter=Name" at the end of the URL. As far as I'm aware, this should work to remove multiple names from the widget without having to create another external pipe."

It's not clear were to put that "&filer=name". With your code, there's the default filer code of "&filter=name" after the &num5. So should I put the "additional" filter after the default "&filter=name"?or like what you said after the url?

i tried both and it did not work.please help me.i would highly appreciate it.

thanks
07 May 2008 13:53 topijrami said...: can we display it in inline list?
08 May 2008 06:27 karla said...: Thanks pretty amanda! :)
16 May 2008 01:20 Gadgets4Nowt said...: I've just installed the widget on my two blogger blogs and already have a comment.

There was a bit of a delay in the author appearing in the top commentator list, is that usual.

Also, the author's nickname seems to be a link back to their comment, not to their own URL. Am I understanding that right.

Sorry, meant to say, great work!
16 May 2008 03:22 Cheryl Wright said...: Hi,

An answer to prayer. The only problem is that although I entered my name in the filter box, it still appears in the Top Commenters box on my blog. What would you suggest to correct this?

Thanks.

Cheryl

Also thanks for so many good blogger hacks.
22 May 2008 20:57 Amanda said...: For Gaurav:

Thank you so much for your emails, and for letting me know about this feature.

It's just dawned on me that Blogger have recently changed the format of comment feeds to include the URL/Profile link of commenters! Your Yahoo! Pipe works perfectly :)

I need to email you again about something and will update this post with your new information shortly.

Best wishes and thank you,

Amanda

04 June 2008 23:43 GJG said...: Amanda, I tried numerous times to successfully download the "top commentters" widget, the title showes up on my side bar, but no list of commenters??---is it because I less than 500 comments on my blog ? I am trying to install it on my blog with blogger, blog.spot.com (I just started blogging in late April).

14 August 2008 06:59 ann marie said...: I added it and it shows up on my blog but no names or numbers are listed. Just the title and hosted by blogbuster at the bottom. Does it take some time to generate the commenter names? Did I do it right and the list will come with time?

It is frustrating because is slows load time and sometimes stops other elements on my blog from displaying properly.
Can anyone tell me why this happens, and is there a blogger widget to be found that ALWAYS works??

HELP!!!!

21 October 2008 22:37 Hye said...: Hi Amanda, thanks for the link. I've been looking for free Top Commentator widget I can use for my blog. I am so glad I found your blog. Thanks again.
21 October 2008 22:39 Free PSP Games Download said...: By the way, it said "service is temporarily unavailable". Is it down? Maybe I should check back later.

24 October 2008 06:54 Helder Gomes said...: Hi Amanda,

In first place I would like to congratulate you by your excellent website.

About this widget I would like to know how to make filters for several names in my blog like Manick.

"For Manick: you could try adding an extra "&filter=Name" at the end of the URL. As far as I'm aware, this should work to remove multiple names from the widget without having to create another external pipe."

I tried to do what you told to him but I couldn't make it. Can you give an example?
24 October 2008 21:20 Sean and Janet said...: Looks like I have the same problem as other readers, but didn't see a reply from you answering. Does this widget work on private blogs, to display the top commenters? Mine has a title, and that it was created by Bloggerbuster, but nothing in between.. Thanks!
31 October 2008 14:41 NesAn said...: Thanks!
31 October 2008 23:48 Tina said...: Hi,

Thanks. I added the widget over a week ago, but iys not showing any commenters as yet.

does it have to be so many comments made first?

If you could contact me at mummydgg@hotmail.co.uk that would be wonderful :)
31 October 2008 23:49 Tina said...: by way o forgot to say the url for my blog i have problem on is http://www.gossipavenueblog.blogspot.com

thanks in advance
02 November 2008 03:30 Max said...: awesome!!!

thanx again ma'am!!
02 November 2008 04:15 Momma Trish said...: It's good, but sadly it doesn't work for me unless I can filter more than one name. I tried adding the second "&filter=Name" after the url, but it didn't work. Couldn't find a solution, and note that none has been posted here. So I had to delete the whole widget. That's a shame.

07 November 2008 16:29 Jeannette said...: I added the widget. In fact I have tried adding it several times over the last couple of weeks. It simply does not appear on my blog, only the heading - Top Ten Commenters and absolutely nothing else. Yet it works for friends of mine. At the moment I am getting unavailable from your site. However, I wonder if you can tell me why the widget simply will not work on my blog. Thank you

Here is my address

07 November 2008 16:40 Jeannette said...: This widget is a wonderful idea but simply will not work on my blog http://outsidelookingin-jeannette.blogspot.com/

I have added it and then had to delete it several times over the last couple of weeks. It works on friends blogs but not on mine. All I get it the Title - Top Ten Commenters but nothing appears underneath it. I tried leaving it on for two days but still nothing. I followed the instructions to the letter.

Please can you tell me why it is not working and if there is anything I can do to make it work.

I can be contacted at jeanno43@aol.com.
17 November 2008 23:00 North Dakota Ward's said...: I am having the same problem mentioned above by Jeannette and others. I installed your widget months ago on both of our blogs shortly after you posted it on your site and it worked great. Now recently, it only shows the title - Top Ten Commenters. What do I need to change. Any ideas?

31 December 2008 17:22 Jeff said...: Hi Amanda... my widget recently started showing me my top commenters from a year ago. Out of nowhere it just switched from showing current status to the status as of last January. I will remove it for now but please let us know when a new version is available (right now this post is showing "Service Temporarily Unavailable")

Thanks!
03 January 2009 12:24 Tanya said...: I tried adding this but only get the title as well. I love the idea though!

03 February 2009 17:41 aLiN said...: Hey Amanda,
How can i make this widget when i click on user nick name to go directly on his website ? It's this possible ?
05 February 2009 04:53 Dante d'Amore said...: You design a widget and then get months worth of questions when people have problems and you just ignore everyone?

Classy.

Well, I tried this one and it's not working just like it's not working for many others. Obviously this site is a waste of time.

Look at the far righthand column. It worked fine yesterday and today it doesn't. I didn't make any changes to my blog layout, so this is weird.
