My client wishes to remove e-mail field from comment form.It's not problem to remove it from templateI comment out the lines 22and 23 in item_comment_form.phpbut it remains the problem with validationfor that I changed the item.php lines 618 to 623in component/com_k2/modelsThis solved my problem and I successfully removed the e-mail field from comment form but when I need to upgrade the K2 component the changes in item.php need to be made anew Is there easiest solution for this which I miss to see?

Hi

 

I wondered if you found an easier solution for this please, or if not would you be able to be so kind as to post the exact code you changed from what to what etc. as I do not understand code.

 

Many, maay thanks

Hi,

 

Yes, there's an easiest way to do that without K2 hacks :

 

copy the attached file in :

'templates/YOURJOOMLATEMPLATE/html/com_k2/templates/YOURK2TEMPLATE/item_comments_form.php' (create folders if necessary)

 

YOURK2TEMPLATE is 'default' by default if you have made no K2 template overriding for now.

 

What is modified in this file ?

The original code for the email input has been commented and replaced by a hidden field with a value set to 'This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.' (you can change it with one of your choice, it's line #30)

 

Regards,

Hi

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.  In the end I decided to keep the email field but just use the hack so it would not validate and stop people from posting without logging in first (if their email already in system etc.)

 

but thanks I will keep this file if I have a need to remove it completely.

 

Again thanks so much :)
