I added a custom field to comments which work and displays on comments as expected.
Problem is I don’t want the field to be shown again when a user replies to a comment. Is there a workaround?
Are you able to post the code? I’m thinking that you use count and only display the field if the result is equal to one.
So, if ( user comment count == 1 ) { echo $field }.
This will remove the field if the person has already made any comment on the current post.
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=YOUR_FIELS_NAME', 'remove_if_previous_comments');
function remove_if_previous_comments($field) {
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
return $field;
}
global $post;
$user = get_current_user_id();
$args = array(
'author__in' => array($user),
'post_id' => $post->ID,
'count' => true
);
$count = get_comments($args);
if ($count) {
$field = false;
}
return $field;
}
unfortunately you cannot remove the field depending on if the comment is a reply to another comment or not. WP only has one comment form and it’s just moved around when replying to other comments.
@hube2 thank you!
I have a similar case: I have a set of nine mandatory fields in comments, and I need to hide all of them to users who have already posted a comment. So, the following comments from the same users would be only basic text with no custom fields.
Can I put an array in the first line of code, or the set name, or what?
Thanks in advance
// array of field names
$fields = array(
'name',
'name',
'etc'
)
foreach ($fields as $field) {
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name='.$field, 'remove_if_previous_comments');
}
@hube2 thank you very much!
