EPiServer Community Api Comment Date

Vote:
 

Hello, I'm importing comments from a wordpress blog and everything is working as expected except the comment's `Created` property which seems to get overriden to the current time (in our scheduled job). The following lines create the comment, the `epiComment` object has a `Created` DateTime in 2011 but the `addedComment` is returned with the current time:

```

var epiComment = new Epi.Comment(commentId, parent, authorRef, comment.Content, true,
ancestors, comment.Date, hasChildren, hasChildren);

if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(comment.AuthorEmail))
{
    var commentEx = new BlogCommentExtension(comment.AuthorEmail);

    var addedComment = _commentService.Add(epiComment, commentEx);
}
else
{
    _commentService.Add(epiComment);
}

```

Bump.

This seems like a bug, no?

Looks like a missing feature. If you dig into the code when you fire off the Add method it builds up like this:

public AddRequest Adapt(Comment comment)
{
    return new AddRequest
    {
        Parent = comment.Parent.ToString(),
        Author = (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(comment.Author.Id) ? "" : comment.Author.Id),
        IsVisible = comment.IsVisible,
        Body = comment.Body
    };
}

So I would make the guess that "Created" is handled on the api server side.

Yea, I figured it was a bug. Thanks for looking into that Spencer.

I may add an imported date to my BlogCommentExtension class to get around this.
