Hello,

I want to be able that a logged in member can choose which name he want to comment as.
In other words even though I am logged in to the site I want to be able to comment as whoever I want to be.

{exp:comment:form}
    <div id="form">
        {if member_group == 1}
        <input type="text" name="name" value="Choose name" />
        {/if}
        <textarea name="comment" rows="8" cols="40">{comment}</textarea>
        <input type="submit" id="submit_comment" name="submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>
{/exp:comment:form}

I tried this, but it still comments as the logged in user.

Anyone?

What version and build of EE are you using? I am not sure that is possible, actually: if a member is logged in, their personal data is fetched automatically.

Hello,

I’m using the latest version. 2.1.3 build 20101220.

If it isn’t possible using the comment module, is there any other method you recommend?

Sorry, I’m not aware of an easy way to do this. You could either logout, use some external solution (perhaps a bit of PHP) or make a Feature Request.
