I want to make some end user modifications to the comment look/functionality.

• I want to remove the “http://” input box and the Textile Help hyperlink.

• I want to add some text before the comment and remove the preview so that they just sumbit and it is not a 2 part process.

• Also I want to change the message once a comment has been submitted.

BUT, I can not seem locate where I am able to do any of this. Can someone please point me in the right direction and let me know if any or all is possible.

Thanks.

hi maniqui:

Thanks for the info. I think this answers the majority of my issues.

The one item I did not see, is how do I modify the form? or where can I modify the form? So that I can remove the “http://” input box and the Textile Help hyperlink.

I see how to manually control it, which will give me the capability to put text before the form (which is what I want to do) but where is the actual form stored?

Again, thanks for the help.

Re: Comments

Go to Presentation>Forms>comment_form. Somewhere near the end of the table junk is the following:

<label for="web">http://</label><txp:comment_web_input />

Below that is is the <txp:comments_help />. If you want to do further customization (not sure you’d need to), you can simply copy the HTML output (view source), modify it, and paste it into the form, comment_form. Modifications, such as fixing the current form validation error, can be made to /textpattern/publish/comments.php (line 180 for the closing </form> tag).

To change the default text, “Thank you for adding your comment,” you’ll need to edit the language file. For instance, in /textpattern/lang/en-gb.txt, on line 468, you can change the comment_posted message.
