Hello,
A site we manage uses wpDiscuz for comments but we need to expose a custom field that was designed in ACF (Advanced Custom Fields). The form data uses WP core tags and the saved data needs to integrate with ordinary WP queries so we cannot use the wpDiscuz custom fields alone. We have successfully inserted the ACF field as a field inside the form with the "wc_main_comm_form" class via Javascript. However, we cannot figure out how to access and save the meta data once the form has been submitted via AJAX. Is there any hook from which we can intercept the raw form data and associate our custom field to the comment once it has an ID or ensure it is included with the correct key name in the meta data wpDiscuz saves?

Hi Jessa,
I'm sorry but there s no way to complete this kind of integration. wpDiscuz comes with own custom fields and forms, it's not designed to integrate with ACF fields.

If there is no hook to process fields unrelated wpDiscuz, is there any way to query wpDiscuz custom fields without resorting to raw SQL (or with, if need be)? For example, how can we find all comments with a custom field matching a given value in the Wordpress template?

This is all custom codding and custom SQL queries. All meta data of comments are stored in wp_commentmeta table. You should use this table.

Hi
I have created a new plugin. In that i have multiple parameter and i have passed as hidden field.I want to save that when comments are posted. Is there any hook available in wpdiscuz for saving custom fields.

Hi @keerthi92,
WordPress has such a hook for this purpose.

Hi @astghik
Thanks for your reply.But this is not what i want.
I want to save meta key value.So i used the following hook in my function.php
function save_comment_meta_data( $comment_id ) {
add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'contest_id', $_GET[ 'id' ] );
}
add_action( 'comment_post', 'save_comment_meta_data' );
I have installed wpdiscuz plugin.When i post my comment, the above meta key is entered with null value.I don't know why.But if i uninstall the wpdiscuz plugin the value is saved correctly.
Can you please suggest me how to insert metakey when i post comment through wpdiscuz plugin
Thank you

Ho @keerthi92,
you need to use the code like this one.
add_action( 'wpdiscuz_comment_post', 'save_comment_meta_data' );
function save_comment_meta_data( $messageArray ) {
if (isset($messageArray['new_comment_id']) && ($comment_id = intval($messageArray['new_comment_id'])) && isset($messageArray['contest_id']) && ($contest_id = intval($messageArray['contest_id'])))
add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'contest_id', $contest_id );
}

Hi
Can You please tell me how to add hidden fields after form field in wpdiscuz
26/12/2018 5:27 pm
I'm sorry but there is no way to add hidden field in comment form. The only way is adding a simple text field using wpDiscuz comment form builder, then hide it using CSS code.
