Commenting on user profiles…

  • Im going to be taking advantage of the nice user managment system in WordPress to allow people to register for my site and have a Profile page.

    I then want to allow registered uses to leave comments on each others profile pages.

    Now idealy i would like to plug-into the comment system but im unaware at how i should go about doing such a thing?

    I guess i could make fake news posts for each member? but that sounds like a long winded and nasty way about it.

    Any ideas?

  • You have to make an author.php anyway (=Page template for displaying the authors data; see Templates and the related links to pages in Codex) and when doing so you’ll have to put in the call for the comments template (which is usually NOT in the Page templates) and when creating the Pages for your authors by using the proper template you just created, you’ll have to check the “Allow comments” checkbox.

    Arrrr… So i could just add a flag to the comment posted to that page, like the username and then just display all the comments from that page with the username ?? haha!

    Might be simpler than i thought, altho very dirty still…
