Create Review functions creates multiple reviews

    Hello,

    Here’s the scenario.

    I’ve added custom field to my rating form and I want to dynamically create review entry every time a form is submitted. The dynamic review entry is specific to a certain category/term and its rating value is base on the submitted rating of the custom field.

    I have the following code

    
add_action('site-reviews/review/created', function ($review, $command) {
  $overallR_val = $review->rating;
  $qualityR_val = $review->custom->quality_rating;
  $serviceR_val = $review->custom->service_rating;
  $sustainabilityR_val = $review->custom->sustainability_rating;
  $assigned_post_id = $command->assigned_posts[0];
  $author_user = $review->author;
  $author_email = $review->email;
  $author_id = $review->author_id;
  $date = $review->date;
  $ip_address = $review->ip_address;

  if (function_exists('glsr_create_review')) {
    $review = glsr_create_review([
        'rating' => $qualityR_val,
        'name' => $author_user,
        'email' => $author_email,
        'date' => $date,
        'assigned_users' => $author_id,
        'assigned_posts' => $assigned_post_id,
        'assigned_terms' => 139,
        'ip_address' => $ip_address,
        'quality_rating' => $qualityR_val,
        'service_rating' => $serviceR_val,
        'sustainability_rating' => $sustainabilityR_val

    ]);

}
// log data
  glsr_log($overallR_val);
  glsr_log($qualityR_val);
  glsr_log($serviceR_val);
  glsr_log($sustainabilityR_val);
}, 10, 2);

    but it seems like glsr_create_review is also triggering the site-reviews/review/created causing infinite loop that creates multiple review entry.

    What will be the best approach for the said requirements?

    Thank you in advance for the help

    Why do you need to create a second review from every submitted review?

    If you can explain the reasoning behind it, I may be able to provide a better solution.

    Hello,

    The second review for every submitted review is assigned to a specific category or term and its rating value is based on the custom field of the main form (which doesn’t have terms assigned to it).

    I have 3 main categories for the ratings, quality, service, and sustainability.

    I could just add 3 rating forms that assigns to the different categories/terms but that will have 3 different submit button for each category form which does not meet my requirement. The requirement is to have single submit button for the multiple category ratings.

    My solution is have a form that does not assigned to any categories but add custom field for quality, services, and sustainability ratings.

    In order for me to easily display the rating of each categories, I need to dynamically create rating entry for the different categories every time a new rating (with the custom field) is submitted.

    Maybe there’s a better approach to this and I’m just over-complicate it ??

    I hope I explain it clearly ??

    Thank you

    I still don’t understand why this is required.

    However, a simple solution is to add a custom value to the created review when using glsr_create_review, then check if the review contains that custom value in the beginning of using site-reviews/review/created and if so, abort.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the response. I implemented a check in the assigned terms value and it seems to work.

    Another question, Does the glsr_create_review only accepts terms id in assinged_terms value?

    I’ve tried using the slug but it doesn’t work. No problem if I use the term/category ID.

     $review = glsr_create_review([
        'rating' => $qualityR_val,
        'name' => $author_user,
        'email' => $author_email,
        'date' => $date,
        'assigned_users' => $author_id,
        'assigned_posts' => $assigned_post_id,
        'assigned_terms' => 139,
        'ip_address' => $ip_address,
        'quality_rating' => $qualityR_val,
        'service_rating' => $serviceR_val,
        'sustainability_rating' => $sustainabilityR_val
      ]);

    Thanks

    Yes, the glsr_create_review function only accepts a numeric ID (or a numeric ID array) for the “assigned_terms”, “assigned_posts”, and “assigned_terms” options.

    You can use get_term or get_term_by to get the term before creating the review.
