Hi,

im trying to make possibility to choose forum posts and display snippets of them on the front page. I thought that nodequeue + views should work. But when im creating nodequeue I can only choose forum topics. I can't add replies, I don't see comment type anywhere.

How can I do it?

A nodequeue needs nodes. A comment is not a node (nor are users, blocks, ...). http://drupal.org/project/nodecomment may help.

You probably know there is a recent comments block available in core, but I guess not configurable enough for you. You may also be able to do what you want with http://drupal.org/project/flag and a custom view. http://drupal.org/project/recent_comments may also be of interest.

Good luck,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try nodecomment, cuz i read that flag don't have arbitrary sorting which i need for this.

Flag may not have sorting, but when combined with Views you should be OK (set up a View to include only flagged comments, then sort by whatever field you want that is available in Views).
