NP_ExpiringComments.php

This plugin automatically marks items as closed after they are a week old. This prevents comment spammers from slipping in once you're no longer likely to notice them.

^General Plugin info ^^

Written while very tired, working a backshift in an emergency room on a slow night. (Is this true?)

1. Unzip the file and upload the contents to your plugin directory
2. Install the plugin…
3. To use it, simply insert <%plugin(ExpiringComments)%> somewhere in your template (whichever template is used to display

comments). I recommend the Item Header area.
