Create comments using API

[applab]

Hi,

I've installed the module FieldtypeComments and now I want to add comments via the  API as shown here https://processwire.com/talk/topic/357-creating-comments-via-api/

But I'm getting a  'class not found' error on this line

$c = new Comment();

I have no problem creating pages with `new Page();` but I'm unable to create a comment with `new Comment()`

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Martin.

Comments.php isn't loaded automatically. It's only included when FieldtypeComments is loaded.

The quickest way to access all the auxiliary classes for this fieldtype is to load the module by calling

$modules->get('FieldtypeComments');

Thank you very much, that has got me up & running :-)

Thanks to your tip I've also realised that I can check 'Modules Loaded' in my Tracy debug bar if I encounter a similar situation again.

Cheers,
Martin.
