Hi

I would like to make ‘name’ as an optional field. If unregistered users want to put comments they can do. However they will have the option of putting their name.

A working version of the code below would be much appreciated. Thanks

{exp:comment:form channel="{channel_name}” form_class=“comment_form” entry_status=“not draft|pending|closed”}
  {if logged_out} 
<input type=“text” name=“name” value=”{name}”/>
{if name ==""}
  {name = 'anonymous'}
{/if}
      <input type=“hidden” name=“email” value=“[email protected]” />
      <textarea name=“comment”>{comment}</textarea>
      <input type=“submit” id=“comment-submit” value=“Post  your comment!” class=“button_input” name=“submit”>               
  {if:else}
     
      <textarea name=“comment”>{comment}</textarea>
      <input type=“submit” id=“comment-submit” value=“Post  your comment!” class=“button_input” name=“submit”>
  {/if}
{/exp:comment:form}

Hi Victoriaz,

EE does expect the name field from guests, so I’d suggest a simple bit of jQuery to insert a generic name if needed during the form submission event. If you’d like I can move this over to the CodeShare Corner to get you help with that; just let me know.

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for getting back to me on this post.
Yes, if you could do that that would be great.
