$POD->getComment()

Returns one specific Comment Object. This function can be used to load an existing comment from the database, or create a new comment.

Loading a Comment

To load an existing piece comment, pass in the comment's database id

$id = 5;
$comment = $POD->getComment(array(
  'id'=>$id
));

Creating a Comment

To create comment, you can either load an empty content object and set values for its fields, or pass in default values to the constructor.

HOWEVER, the much more useful way of doing this is to use the $content->addComment() function, which handles almost everything automagically.

Create a brand new, empty comment object:

$new_comment = $POD->getComment();
$new_comment->set('comment','This comment sucks!');
$new_content->set('userId',$POD->currentUser()->get('id'));
$new_comment->set('contentId',$content->get('id'));
$new_comment->save();

Or, pass in values:

$new_comment = $POD->getComment(array(
  'comment' => 'This is the default headline',
  'userId'=>$POD->currentUser()->get('id'),
  'contentId'=>$content->get('id')
));
$new_comment->save();

Errors

Be sure to check for errors! In some instances, the comment object may not be created properly, and will throw an error.

if (!$new_comment->success()) {
  echo $new_comment->error();
}
