Adding to the comment form

Hi all!!

I’m writing a plugin that someone requested here, but I’m a newby here.
I have modified the funcion saveComment (in comment.php) and what I needed works, but I need to add a checkbox where people write their comments.
The question is how do I do that and how do I send the checkbox info (‘yes’ or ‘no’) to the function saveComment like the other parameters: name, web, message, etc.

btw, i’ll change the name of the function later.

Thanks in advance!

So the built-in savecomment() function calls getcomment() to get things like name, web, email, etc. You could write another version of getcomment() to include your additional checkbox. Or you could just add a line to you savecomment() function to include:
$yourvar = ps('nameofcheckbox');

That’s what I needed!! thanks

And how do I insert the checkbox in the code? because all the others are inserted using a function like this:
<td> <txp:comment_name_input /> </td>

thanks

Tags will just call a function –
<txp:asv_checkbox />
will call
function asv_checkbox($atts, $thing){ return $your_html_for_the_checkbox; }

So create a function that will generate the html for your checkbox and just have it return that string. You can include this function in the plugin you are building right now.

I highly recommend reading through Anatomy of a Plugin
