Adding custom comment fields..

[jjkatrina]

I am sorry to spam for help, hehe..but would anyone know of a way to edit the displayimage.php file, in the comment area so that you could:

1) Extend the "Name" field to just be a bit longer (I didn't see any number areas when i searched the code that looked like it would extend it).

2) Add an additional text box just like the Name one, but for the persons email? (I am havings people type their email in the Name box somtimes!  )

The closest forum thread I could find about these was http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=18217.0 - but it didn't explain how to add any aditional areas for submitting of comments!

Thank you wonderful people who work on this..I am so very lookking forward to new version of Coppermine!

1) http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php#lamesupport
2) Only one question per thread!
3) To widen the name field, edit displayimage.php, find

Code Select Expand

$user_name_input = '<input type="hidden" name="msg_author" value="' . USER_NAME . '">';and add a width attribute (either using html's size attribute or by using css.
4) An additional text input field to hold the email would take a lot of modifications. Instead I'd recommend to allow comments only for registered users.
