How to fill in Comments "user" with customcontent_loginname? [solved]

[nakuttaja]

Hi!

How can I fill in the Comments "user"-field with customcontent_loginname? So the user wouldn't have an option to insert it's name but it being filled automatically. I have already made that "Add comment" is only available for logged in users.

Thanks, Nakuttaja

Sorry to bring this up, but I still haven't find the answer.

hmm, havent checked the source one bit but I bet you could do it by inserting customcontent_loginname into the comments user field field value parameter and changing it to be type="hidden"

hope this helps

In Comments Display Template there is just this:
{$yournametxt}

I looked those php-files but I don't really know anything about programming so it just confusing me

up.

There must be someone who has already made this kind of integration.

That's only the text field, not the input field  ...

I'm not a coder for real but have you tried something like this?

Open action.default.php with your favourite editor, go to line 235

Code: Select all

	$this->smarty->assign_by_ref('inputyourname', 	$this->CreateInputText($id, 'author', $author, 50, 255));

and change it to

Code: Select all

	$this->smarty->assign_by_ref('inputyourname', 	$loginname);

I figured out how:
1. Open modules/Comments/action.default.php
2. Find this code:

Code: Select all

$this->smarty->assign_by_ref('inputyourname',   $this->CreateInputText($id, 'author', $author, 50, 255));

3. Replace it with:

Code: Select all

$module = $this->GetModuleInstance('FrontEndUsers');
$this->smarty->assign_by_ref('inputyourname',   $this->CreateInputHidden($id, 'author', $module->LoggedInName(), 50, 255));

4. Then go to Content » Comments and click on the "Comment Display Template" tab.
5. Replace this:

Code: Select all

	<tr>
		<td>{$yournametxt}(*):</td>
		<td>{$inputyourname}</td>
	</tr>

with this:

Code: Select all

{$inputyourname}

I've posted the PHP changes as a patch here for future reference: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/in ... 3&atid=171

Hope this helps,

Thank you so much! I've been fighting with this so long. Now it works just the way I needed.

I'm pretty sure, though I haven't tried it.... that one could use smarty's {eval var=$whatever assign=inputyourname}..... somehow with this
