Shortcodes in comments

    I see that I can use a simple hook with do_shortcode to add my shortcodes to user comments. This is great. However, not with external files. They don’t get loaded.

    (Clearly, this is due to “conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles” function in “shortcode-maker.php” only looking at the post content.)

    I’m guessing there’s not a super-easy work-around, but if someone knows of one, please share.

    On a buggy side note…
    I noticed that you pass the $key to wp_enqueue_script, which ends up preventing loading more than one javascript file per shortcode. Ever think about changing $key to something else? Perhaps the path to the javascript file?

    Well, sort of solved the problem with this little hack in “shortcode-maker.php“.

    First of all, any scripts that may appear in the comments you’ll have to include them as a body tag, since comments aren’t loaded until the end.

    First, I added this function to check for shortcode tags in the comments:

    public function conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles_to_comments($comment){
	if (empty($comment)) return $comment;

	if (!isset($this->sc_tags) && !is_array($this->sc_tags))
		return $comment;

	$tags = array_keys($this->sc_tags);

	foreach ($tags as $index => $t){
		if (stripos($comment, '['.$t) !== false) {
			$this->sc_external[$t]['found'] = true;
		}
	}
	return $comment;
}

    Which I call around line 191 as follows:

    add_filter('comments_template', function(){ add_filter('comment_text', array($this, 'conditionally_add_scripts_and_styles_to_comments')); });
add_filter('comments_template', function(){add_filter('comment_text', 'do_shortcode');});

    This will work for both scripts and styles (as long as you specify them as being included as body tags), but probably won’t work for other advanced functions.

    Thats a nice way to do it.
