How can i immidiately know if a user has posted a comment?

There is a hook called "wp_insert_comment", that is executed right after the comment is added. This actions passes 2 arguements first the comment id and the second is the comment.

How can i know which user is that?

Well it depends on if the user is a registered subsriber of your blog. Use the hook "wp_insert_comment" in conjunction with the function "get_comment".

How can i trigger a function after that?

It's just php so you can do whatever you want in your function.

This is just a help to solve your problem by your own. The hardest part will be to work on with the Facebook API.

  • I have solved the Facebook API part. Where will use the wp_insert_comment. Should i create a new PHP file? Which Wordrpess files should i include? – user1002601 Sep 24 '13 at 13:07
  • And after doing add_action() do i need to call do_action() or Wordpress automatically do that? – user1002601 Sep 24 '13 at 13:13
  • Also i can not use that with "get_comment". This function requires the "comment_id". What i need first is the "comment_id". – user1002601 Sep 25 '13 at 8:12
  • @Horttcore if i write add_action("wp_insert_comment", "get_comment_custom") function get_comment_costom("$comment_id"){ echo $comment_id; } Does it automatically get the comment_id and assign it to get_comment_custom as an argument? – user1002601 Sep 25 '13 at 9:45
