Filtering the Admin Comments List to Show Only Comments from the Current User?

1 comment

1. Either of these 3 will help you:

   //Before getting the comments, on the WP_Comment_Query object for each comment
   add_action('pre_get_comments', 'wpse56652_filt_comm');
   
   //Applied on the comments SQL Query, you can modify the 'Where' part of the query
   add_filter('comments_clauses', 'wpse56652_filt_comm');
   
   //After the comments are fetched, you can modify the comments array
   add_filter('the_comments', 'wpse56652_filt_comm');
   
   function wpse56652_filt_comm($param) {
       //access the current user
       global $current_user;
       get_currentuserinfo();
   
       //current users id = $current_user->ID;
   
       //Current users posts, check get_posts params to change as per your need
       $user_posts = get_posts(array('author' => $current_user->ID, 'posts_per_page' => -1));
   
       echo '<pre>';
       print_r($param);
       echo '</pre>';
   
       return $param;
   }
   

   Additionally you can use global $pagenow to make sure that the code runs only on this page.

   Sorry I’m kinda unwell today, so couldn’t write down an example! 😉

   Edit:

   /**
    * Show only the Comments MADE BY the current logged user
    * and the Comments MADE TO his/hers posts.
    * Runs only for the Author role.
    */
   
   add_filter('the_comments', 'wpse56652_filter_comments');
   
   function wpse56652_filter_comments($comments){
       global $pagenow;
       global $user_ID;
       get_currentuserinfo();
       if($pagenow == 'edit-comments.php' && current_user_can('author')){
           foreach($comments as $i => $comment){
               $the_post = get_post($comment->comment_post_ID);
               if($comment->user_id != $user_ID  && $the_post->post_author != $user_ID)
                   unset($comments[$i]);
           }
       }
       return $comments;
   }
