Comment Form Additional Field and Output for Logged in Users WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I am looking to use wordpress's standard Posts to display information about an event and then users can submit their confirmation to attend by ticking a radio button within the comment submissions.
Once submitted it will display as a normal comment along with their chosen acknowledgement (yes or no).
For logged in users only. I am using the following comments.php template:
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie
?>
<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>
<?php return;
}
}
/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>
<!-- You can start editing here. -->
<?php if ($comments) : ?>
<h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('No Volunteers', 'One Volunteer', '% Volunteers' );?>
responded to “<?php the_title(); ?>” (
<?php // Echo the number of volunteers required
echo get_option("limit_comments_{$post->ID}"); ?>
Required)</h3>
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'get_avatar' ) ) {
echo get_avatar( $comment, 50);
} else {
//alternate gravatar code for < 2.5
$grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=
" . md5($email) . "&default=" . urlencode($default) . "&size=" . $size;
echo "<img src='$grav_url' height='50px' width='50px' />";
}
?><?php comment_author_link() ?> Says:
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php comment_text() ?>
<small class="commentmetadata">

</li>
<!-- Allows your comments to have odd and even classes -->
<?php if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';
?>
<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

add following to functions.php file
function add_comment_fields($fields) {
$fields['confirmation '] = '<p class="comment-form-confirmation "><label for="confirmation ">' . __( 'confirmation' ) . '</label>' .
'<input name="confirmation[]" type="radio" size="30" value="yes" />Yes
<input name="confirmation[]" type="radio" size="30" value="no" />No
</p>';
return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','add_comment_fields');
function add_comment_meta_values($comment_id) {
if(isset($_POST['confirmation'])) {
$confirmation = wp_filter_nohtml_kses($_POST['confirmation'][0]);
add_comment_meta($comment_id, 'confirmation', $confirmation, false);
}
}
add_action ('comment_post', 'add_comment_meta_values', 1);
and then show it as
<?php echo "Comment authors confirmation: ".get_comment_meta( $comment->comment_ID, 'confirmation', true ); ?>
where ever you want to show it
Arnav Joy comments:
so here is your comments.php with the confirmation "Yes/No" field added
<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie
?>
<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>
<?php return;
}
}
/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
$oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

<?php if ($comments) : ?>

Hi Arnav,
I've done as you posted but the new fields dont show. Screenshot attached.
Not sure if it will effect but the site is using a child theme and is part of a multisite.
