How to Mark New Comment as Flag in Extension?

hf06

In extension, I want comments automatically created by a specific user to be marked as flag for moderation purposes.

Currently, I create comments using CommentPost::reply and can set the is_approved status directly. However, I want the comment to appear as flagged so it can be reviewed by the moderation team.

Here is a code snippet:

public function handle(Agent $agent): void
{
    $reply = $agent->repliesTo($this->discussion);

    // If the response is a CommentPost, set it as unapproved
    if ($reply instanceof CommentPost) {
        $reply->is_approved = false; // Mark as unapproved
        $reply->save();
    }
}

How can I programmatically mark a CommentPost as flag?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You can see how my First Post Approval extension marks posts (and entire discussion when it's the first post of a new discussion) as not approved and create an approval flag for it clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-first-post-approvalblob/master/src/Listeners/UnapproveNewPosts.php

Don't forget to require the approval and flags extensions in your composer.json to ensure those extensions are always enabled together with your own extension.

clarkwinkelmann I had reviewed the flarum/approval extension, but I couldn’t find the solution. Thank you for the detailed explanation!
