Examples

#1 Add an additional comment field when a comment is updated

Suppose we need to know whether a comment has been updated. When the comment is updated, we can write an additional updated field containing the update date.

add_action( 'edit_comment', 'add_update_comment_meta' );
function add_update_comment_meta( $comment_id ){
	$comment = get_comment( $comment_id );

	// Make sure we are editing an already published comment
	if( ! $comment->comment_approved || $comment->comment_type !== 'comment' ){
		return;
	}

	$data = time(); // Date in UNIX format
	update_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'updated', $data );
}
