I have granted anonymous comments in my gallery, but most of the people are not filling the name box. There are many comments with the default name "nimesi" (finnish, roughly translated "your name"). So is there a way to require the anonymous people to fill the name box, so that I wouldn't have anymore of these "yourname"-comments?

i assume this will work:

add this:
Code Select

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkform ( form )
{
  // ** START **
  if (form.msg_author.value == "nimesi") {
    alert( "Please enter your name" );
    form.msg_author.focus();
    return false ;
  }
  // ** END **

  return true ;
//-->
</script>


non-finnish people, change 'nimesi' to 'Your name' or whatever applies.
finnish people, change 'Please enter ..' to finnish version.

and add this onsubmit to the form tag:
Code Select
<form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">


i didn't try it out.
but i don't see why it wouldn't work.

cheers.

edit /themes/yourtheme/theme.php and look for
Code Select
<form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php">Replace it with
Code Select
<form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkform ( form )
{
  // ** START **
  if (form.msg_author.value == "your name") {
    alert( "Please enter your name" );
    form.msg_author.focus();
    return false ;
  }
  // ** END **

  return true ;
//-->
</script>(also not tested, but should work. Better still, add the JavaScript part somewhere to the <head>).

Tried this on my 1.2.1 install...
Doesn't do anything afaik.
I just want to force my visitors to enter their name (or anything for that matter) and their comment, but in the 1.2.1 it's standard on Anon...
How can i fix that ?

edit lang/yourlanguage.php and remove the translation for anonymous: find
Code Select
'your_name' => 'Anon',and replace it with
Code Select
'your_name' => '',
This way, the user should be prompted to fill in a name when submitting a comment.
Allowing anonymous comments is not recommended though, as it will cause problems in the long run...
