Adding a hook for specific comment types

[joostdevalk]

Right now there's no way to hook an action only for specific comment types, resulting in the issue that each plugin that hooks in almost always need to do get_comment, because it need to get the comment type.

Proposal patch

[scribu]

Instead of using get_comment(), you receive the comment object as the second argument:

function my_test_callback( $comment_id, $comment ) {
  if ( 'foo' == $comment->comment_type ) {
    // do stuff here
  }
}
add_action('wp_insert_comment', 'my_test_callback', 10, 2);

Therefore, there is really no need for an additional action there.

Ah darn, the plugin i was looking at hooked into post_comment but that's a rather stupid action to hook into then indeed. Thx!
