Grab latest comments

Hi, has anyone written a snippet that can grab the latest 5 or so comments from an instance of ditto/jot ?
Been on a huge hunt for this though can’t find any code.. It’d be a decent tip for the Jot wiki if it has been done.

Thanks.

Excellent, thanks Doze.
Got that working. Couple of issue though that I can’t see how to resolve with the available parameters. ( http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Jot#Parameters )

Namely, you have to specify a docid - so you can only grab comments from one news item - not all news items in general.
There appears to be no way to limit the number of comments displayed. (great for destroying designs

Apart from that :0 hunky dory.

Hmm.. sounds odd that there would be no parameter to limit retrived comment count.. it could be undocumented, i have to check it.. but you can enable paging with 5 comments per page and remove the page navigators from your custom template.

Thanks for the workaround idea!
