I want to post a new comment from react native app using: POST /wp/v2/comments
When I add a comment like that, wpdiscuz_votes_separate and wpdiscuz_votes fields don't get created in commentmeta table at that point. They get created when I click on + or - on comment on the website. But I need it to be created immediately because I have to parse wpdiscuz_votes_separate value in order to show the the number of likes and dislikes, and also to be able to update them on the mobile app. I am updating them via endpoint in function.php file.
Can those rows be created with the creation of the comment somehow?
I handled it when posting new comment from my mobile app by adding
add_action("rest_insert_comment", function ($comment, $request, $creating) {
add_comment_meta($comment->comment_ID, 'wpdiscuz_votes_seperate', ["like" => 0, "dislike" => 0]);
add_comment_meta($comment->comment_ID, 'wpdiscuz_votes', 0);
}, 10, 3);
to functions.php in my theme.
It adds these two fields to commentmeta table every time a new comment is created.
But it doesn't add these fields when I create a new comment on the website.
Can I add
add_comment_meta($commentId, self::META_KEY_VOTES, 0); add_comment_meta($commentId, self::META_KEY_VOTES_SEPARATE, ["like" => 0, "dislike" => 0]);
somewhere in addComment function in WpdiscuzCore.php ?
The changes will be lost after the wpDiscuz updates.
You can use the comment_post hook for this customization. More info here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/comment_post/
We don't provide support for customization, we may help in 1-2 simple questions, but not more. We only help with general questions and issues.
Thank you for your understanding.
The solution that I came up with if there is no wpdiscuz_votes_seperate and wp_discuz_votes in the commentmeta table after the comment is added on the website and I try to like or dislike the comment on my mobile app:
When I try to select those fields from the commentmeta like I did here: https://wpdiscuz.com/community/postid/13043/
And the select returns nothing because there are no fields with those names I use the add_comment_meta instead of updating the database. Like this:
$result = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT meta_value FROM $wpdb->commentmeta WHERE comment_id = $commentId AND meta_key = 'wpdiscuz_votes_seperate'")[0];
$meta = $result->{'meta_value'};
if($meta == ""){
if(strcmp($voteType, 'like') === 0) {
add_comment_meta($commentId, 'wpdiscuz_votes_seperate', ["like" => 1, "dislike" => 0]);
add_comment_meta($commentId, 'wpdiscuz_votes', 1);
}
else {
add_comment_meta($commentId, 'wpdiscuz_votes_seperate', ["like" => 0, "dislike" => 1]);
add_comment_meta($commentId, 'wpdiscuz_votes', -1);
}
}
Hope this helps anyone.
