same comment list for two posts

Question

I've an unique problem, I'm using WPML to translate my website.

WPML takes post and duplicates it, so that translation becomes another post. Thus keeping Gallery/Comments/Ratings separate.

I'm on the quest to unite Gallery/Comments/Ratings for all languages.

Problem is with comments, because wp-list-comments function doesn't accept post ID as an argument.

What are my options? how do I unite comments of two posts? given that I know ID of parent and ID of translation?

I think this is an interesting question :)

Answer 1

You could use get_comments() instead. The code in this forum post gives an example of how you'd do that:

<?php
$recent_comments = get_comments( array('post_id' => $newest_post_id,) );

foreach ($recent_comments as $comment)
{
?>
<?php
$comment_id = get_comment($comment->comment_ID);
$author = $comment_id->comment_author;
$commentdate = $comment_id->comment_date;
$content = $comment_id->comment_content;
?>
<p><?php echo $author; echo $commentdate;?></p>
<p><?php echo $content;?></p>
<?php
} ?>

Best of luck!
