I have created a custom post type for a sort of gallery whereby users can upload work etc. In addition to this I have taxonomies for this type such as categories, tags, colors, etc.
But I want users to be able to do two things. a) comment b) critique.
As far as I know WordPress doesn’t support Custom Comment Types so I can’t create the critique comments, any ideas on how I could do this? Thanks.
First of all, please don’t confuse terms. Custom Post Types is a mis-named feature that should really be Custom Content Types. They’re pieces of content that aren’t posts or pages, but live in the same kind of database. Like posts and pages, they can have tags, categories, comments, and other custom meta and taxonomies applied.
However, comments are still comments, whether they’re on a post, page, or “gallery” in your situation. So here’s my counter-question: what is different between comments and critiques in your scenario?
If they’re fundamentally similar, I’d recommend not distinguishing between them. If they’re fundamentally different, try this:
Set up “critiques” as its own custom post type. Then either associate critiques with galleries using a custom taxonomy or by storing the ID of the gallery/piece being critiqued in a custom field of the critique. This will make it easy to find critiques for specific galleries/pieces in the future while still keeping them distinct from comments.
I find the way to create my own comment type, but it isn’t a nice solution.
I have now (except comment, pingback and trackback) also review, curio and article.
Visually look almost the same, but I don’t want to have custom fields; only different types.
So, in this way :
?p=15#commentsI get normal comments list, and for ex.?p=15?reviews#commentsI get only comments, where post_type (in wp_posts) is like ‘review’.There was some changes in source files in
wp-includesand theme comment file, so if someone is interesting how to do that then I can explain the way 😉
