Help with add_filter for wp_filter_comment()

    Hi Guys, I am currently having problems trying to influence the wp_filter_comment() function. I want my plugin to intercept the post comment function to change some values.

    I currently have this in my plugin file:

    function mod_filter_comment($commentdata) {
$commentdata['comment_content'] = 'HIA';
return $commentdata;
}

add_filter('wp_filter_comment', 'mod_filter_comment');

    When a new comment is submitted it is passed through the wp_filter_comment() function, but it seems no matter what I put into mod_filter_comment() it doesn’t change the final comment output.

    The wp_filter_comment() is called from wp_new_comment() in wp-includes/comment.php – line 391.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Perhaps try this filter instead: comment_save_pre

    You forgot the global variable.

    function mod_filter_comment($str) {
global $commentdata;

// do something with the comment_content here ($str)

$commentdata['comment_content'] = $str; // then make it stick...
}

add_filter('comment_save_pre', 'mod_filter_comment');

    … No, dev_n, that code is not correct in just about any way.

    You might want to read up on WP filters a bit more:

    His original problem was that there was no filter named “wp_filter_comment”. That’s a function name, not a filter.

    Also, this thread is 3 months old. I assume he’s figured it out by now.

    Yes, my mistake. That’s what I get for trying to think too fast. Here’s something that should work for him:

    function mod_filter_comment($comment) {
$comment = 'HIA';
return $comment;
}
add_filter('pre_comment_content', 'mod_filter_comment');

    Also I noticed the age, but I know people look around these dunes a lot looking for answers – so replied regardless…

    –Thanks Otto
