[Resolved] How to create comments like on facebook wall

I'm building a site where i need to comment on posts in a view loop. Very much like a facebook wall. I have all the posts displayed in my view. I have created a post type with my comments. I have relationship working, so my comments belong to the right post in the loop.

My problem is that all the forms with comment got the same id, so when i press "Submit" everything fucks up 🙂

Hello Brian,

There's a post about this and might work:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/using-the-comments-shortcode-within-a-view/

You should add to your functions.php the following code:

 

add_shortcode('wpv-post-comments', 'my_post_comments');
function my_post_comments() {
if(get_post_type( get_the_ID()) == "my-type")
{
ob_start();
comments_template();
$data = ob_get_clean();
return $data;
}
}
 
//Replace "my-type" with your custom post type slug

Hi Brian,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Also thank you Martin for sharing your code. @brian was this able to assist you?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Martin thank you very much for your input.

I need the comment to be a custom post type to ( got extra fields), and not the default wordpress comments... I don't think that is possible from the code... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any other suggestions?

I actually found out that it is only the ajax submission that doesn't work... It saves the comment, but when it tries to substitute the form with a text messages, it targets all the instances of the form.

Ok... this is bugged 🙂 the ajax call saves the first instance of the form. Not the one where submit is clicked...

Hi Brian,

Could you let me know the code you are using to add the comments ?

It could be that the id needs to be provided so it knows which post it should add the comment for.

Thanks,
Shane

[credform class='cred-form cred-keep-original']

[cred_field field='form_messages' value='']

<div class="cred-group cred-group-Comment-jobs">

<div class="cred-field cred-field-commentjob">
<label class="cred-label">
Kommenter
</label>
[cred_field field='commentjob' post='comment-job' value='' urlparam='']
</div>
</div>

<div style="display:none;">
[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_job_id' value='[wpv-post-id id="$job"]']
</div>

[cred_field field='form_submit' value='Submit' urlparam='']

[/credform]

And from the view loop:

[cred_form form='comment-job' form_name='Comment job']

Please remember that this works if i turn off ajax

Hi Brian,

Ok I see so you're posting the comments in a separate CPT and relating it to the post .

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the website so that I can have a look ?

The private fields will be enabled for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane
