How do I add an extra comment input field?

I’m trying to add the subject input field to my comment area and I am having problem getting to work.

Here is what i have in in my
publish/comments.php- http://pastebin.com/401736
comment, comment display, and comment form forms-http://pastebin.com/401743

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: How do I add an extra comment input field?

So you added a ‘subject’ field to your txp_discuss table?

Can you elaborate on exactly what the problem is?

Basically I want to give commenters an option to write a subject in there comments
sort of like in drupal

I got the subject input to show and I have added a table to txp_discuss, but I don’t know how to get the subject to show in the comments

I’m assuming/hoping you meant ‘field’ and not ‘table’. :)

You’ll need to either create yourself a new tag by adding a couple lines to /textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php, or you can just use regular ol’ PHP:

<txp:php>echo $GLOBALS['thiscomment']['subject'];</txp:php>

Put that in your “comments” form wherever you want your subject to appear. :)

Re: How do I add an extra comment input field?

I’d like to do something similar with a new TextPattern install. The extra field will just hold a number so that users can add a rating (if they choose to). Can someone elaborate on the changes required for taghandlers.php mentioned above? Many thanks

I may just use the php solution (if easier) to display the extra field but explanation of the taghandlers.php edit would be very useful.

Is there anything else I should know? I’ll be adding an extra field to the txp_discuss table using PHPMyadmin.
