Thank you Simon and Codigo for developing this plugin. I find it very useful. I found one bug that limits it use though. I use this plugin to display the number of comments and the name and date of the last comment. The plugin works perfectly when a comment already exists, but when there is no data to query the value is not transformed. In most use scenarios that means that I am left with an article ID, which will just confuse people visiting the site. It would be very good if the plugin displayed nothing when there is no data to query instead of the original value. Thanks.
