I keep getting errors when submitting comments. Error shown - ‘the name field is required’, even though I submitted a name.

Please help.

marsh,
What version and build of EE are you using?
Are you using any addons?

Can you show us what you have in your template please?
Do you have a link to the page in question?

I’m using EE 1.6.8

I do have a few addons.

Below is code for the form

<form action=" " method="post" id="formwrapper">
{exp:comment:form weblog="features"} 
  <label for="fullname">Name:</label>  
<input type="text" name="fullname" value="{name}" id="fullname" class="txt" />  
  <label for="email">Email:</label>  
<input type="text" name="email" value="{email}" id="email" class="txt" /> 
  <label for="message">Message:</label>  
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="50" rows="5">{comment}</textarea>
  <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" />    
{/exp:comment:form} 
</form>

Site is here

Thank you.

marsh,

It looks like you don’t actually have a ‘name’ field. You have a ‘fullname’ field, but EE is looking for an input field with the name of ‘name’. Try changing ‘fullname’ to ‘name’ and let me know what happens.

Thanks Kevin. Did the changes, but still can’t get it to work. Now the error message is: ‘Unable to receive your comment at this time’.

Hoping a solution is found soon.

Hi, marsh,

Are you trying to submit a content that may be a duplicate? I think you’re running into the duplicate content folder.

Can you try commenting with something totally unique?  Like…

super yellow califrag purple docislicious?

I think that’s unique at least.

Let us know if that submits!

Thanks, thanks, thank you. That’s magical! It worked.

Yay marsh! Glad you got it working. If you ever have any more problems, please feel free to post again!

Thanks!
