Issues with hook_comment()
theabacus - January 12, 2009 - 17:11
I am trying to adjust some comment data on comment insert/update, however, hook_comment is not working for me at all.
function custom_comment(&$a1, $op) {
switch($op) {
case "validate":
$a1['comment'] = "Testing";
break;
}
}I know the function is running at the appropriate time and is changing the $a1 array. However, the comment text is not being saved as "Testing"...instead it is being saved as the original data the author put in. Any thoughts?
I did some more
I did some more research/testing on it. As to be expected, the order of operations is hook_comment($op=validate)->comment_save()->hook_comment($op=insert).
I ran a print_r($edit); in the top of the comment_save module. It appears that even tho $a1 is being passed by reference, the comment module is not using the same array when it saves...
I have exactly the same problem
I'm a bit of a newbie, but I also find it strange that I can't seem to change the $a variable. And how do I stop the comment completely from being inserted, not only changed?
caching problem?
I'm not sure, but perhaps you should clear the cache.
