I'm wanting to move to wpdiscuz but I'm having issues with importing some code from a previous plugin. I have ratings enables on posts. I can use a custom field to add the comment metadata I need for a rating field (with the 5 stars).
I have 3 problems:
1) I want to limit it so a user can only rate the post once. By default they can do it as many times as they like and there isn't an option for me to change it.
2) I had some custom code fire on "comment_post" that requires additional information in the post. Is there a way to use a filter to insert a hidden form field?
3) There is no way to delete the users custom_field in the edit comment. I can change it, but not delete the rating.

I'm still looking for some help with 1 & 3, but I found the solution for my issue #2. I was able to add some custom HTML code into the form by hooking by using the following:
add_action('wpdiscuz_submit_button_before', 'add_custom_html');
function add_custom_html() {
// echo HTML code here.
}
Hopefully that helps someone else.

Thank you @eliddon,
I'm sorry, but there is no such a feature. We'll take into consideration to add a hook for this purpose. For now, I suggest you check the solution provided in this support topic, it may help you.

There is no way to delete the users custom_field in the edit comment. I can change it, but not delete the rating.
I'm really sorry, but wpDiscuz doesn't allow deleting it.

Thanks for the reply. That's unfortunate. For now I've hacked a solution together by injecting some javascript in the 'wpdiscuz_submit_button_before' hook to hide the rating field if there was a previous rating by their email or ipaddress. Seems to do the trick.
For being able to delete the rating I've used the 'add_meta_box' action to add my own code in the admin backend, again not ideal but works for now. At least this way I haven't modified any of the wpdiscuz code.
Now to see if there is a solution to add my own sort button to filter to only show rating comments...
