While working on adding the author name to the Recent Comments block I saw a lot of feature requests on Drupal.org to make the amount of comments that is displayed in the block configurable.



Since I was working on that code anyway I created a second patch to allow the administrator to set the amount of comments shown.

Download the patch for Drupal 5.1 to make the number of comments configurable for the recent comments block.

Installation

To install this patch download the text file and save it as 51comments2.patch on your server. This patch has been tested with Drupal 5.1.

cd /var/www/htdocs/(yoursite)
cd drupal
patch modules/comment/comment.module 51comments2.patch                     

The result will look like this:

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
