DESCRIPTION

An MT::Comment object represents a comment in the Movable Type system. It contains all of the metadata about the comment (author name, email address, homepage URL, IP address, etc.), as well as the actual body of the comment.

USAGE

As a subclass of MT::Object, MT::Comment inherits all of the data-management and -storage methods from that class; thus you should look at the MT::Object documentation for details about creating a new object, loading an existing object, saving an object, etc.

DATA ACCESS METHODS

The MT::Comment object holds the following pieces of data. These fields can be accessed and set using the standard data access methods described in the MT::Object documentation.

• id

  The numeric ID of the comment.

• blog_id

  The numeric ID of the blog in which the comment is found.

• entry_id

  The numeric ID of the entry on which the comment has been made.

• author

  The name of the author of the comment.

• commenter_id

  The author_id for the commenter; this will only be defined if the commenter is registered, which is only required if the blog config option allow_unreg_comments is false.

• ip

  The IP address of the author of the comment.

• email

  The email address of the author of the comment.

• url

  The URL of the author of the comment.

• text

  The body of the comment.

• visible

  Returns a true value if the comment should be displayed. Comments can be hidden if comment registration is required and the commenter is pending approval.

• created_on

  The timestamp denoting when the comment record was created, in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. Note that the timestamp has already been adjusted for the selected timezone.

• modified_on

  The timestamp denoting when the comment record was last modified, in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. Note that the timestamp has already been adjusted for the selected timezone.

DATA LOOKUP

In addition to numeric ID lookup, you can look up or sort records by any combination of the following fields. See the load documentation in MT::Object for more information.

• created_on
• entry_id
• blog_id
