Textpattern Resources at textpattern.org

I wanted something like a simplified blogroll that shows up in the sidebar, but only for the commenters of the current Site, and only if they are trusted and set to display.
This currently, is not possible, using Textpattern’s native tags, as Mary also confirmed, just using article_custom to output the blogroll.

This is why this plugin exists. It will make sure, that:

1. No commenter domain get’s displayed multiple times in the blogroll.
2. Only trusted commenters (The ones, that are set to display) are part of the blogroll list.
3. It doesn’t care about the articles, that the comments commenters belong to, which is precisely, what we need here.

Can be used either in a form or pagetemplate and also has an option, to display the commenters domain instead of their names as linktext.

There is a short article, explaining why, here
