PHP help – exclusively allow users to respond to their own comments

    Hi guys

    I’m not sure if what I’m trying to do is possible. I’d like the option for registered users to reply to their own comments – no one else, just users own their own comments.

    So I’m using this bit of code…

    <?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == “[email protected]”) echo comment_reply_link(array (‘reply_text’ => ‘Respond’, ‘depth’ => $depth, ‘max_depth’ => $args[‘max_depth’])) ?>

    It works, if the comment author email matches the hard-coded email address then the respond link shows.

    Obviously I don’t want the email hard-coded in though. How do I replace “[email protected]” with the current user email?

    Thanks! : )

    Yea, I’m just not sure how to slot it into my current code.

    I’ve tried…

    <?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == $current_user->user_email) echo comment_reply_link(array (‘reply_text’ => ‘Respond’, ‘depth’ => $depth, ‘max_depth’ => $args[‘max_depth’])) ?>

    …but that didn’t work.

    Did you declare global $current_user; before calling the function?

    global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo $current_user->user_email;

    Tried it on my test blog and it works.

    Ah! I have to declare that before? I’ve been declaring it all over the place haha

    <?php global $current_user;get_currentuserinfo(); $current_user->user_email; ?>

<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == $current_user->user_email) echo comment_reply_link(array ('reply_text' => 'Respond', 'depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth'])) ?>

    That seems to have done the trick.

    Thanks Joseph, appreciate the help buddy. : )

    You’re welcome.

    BTW, you don’t need $current_user->user_email; in the first line.
